Some of the EMFM team pointing towards the their station’s next 30 years of success in providing some amazing programming on the local airwaves.

It’s the first time in 30 years Echuca-Moama’s own community radio station EMFM has been able to celebrate its 30th birthday.

But when it comes to stating the obvious, it is a celebration worth sharing – with everyone.

Which is why the station’s management team is throwing open its doors this weekend and asking everyone to come and share the milestone.

Community radio records numbers which should make mainstream commercial radio green with envy – there are more than 20,000 volunteers around the country with a combined monthly audience of 9.5 million.

And our own EMFM is one of the jewels in that community crown.

There might not be enough cake to go around on the day, but there will be plenty of sausages to snag your attention.

This volunteer owned and operated community asset has achieved amazing things since its first broadcast, and today the Riverine Herald acknowledges those decades of highs and lows with this special eight-page lift out feature.
