The Last Let's Get Growing Show
After ten months of continuous weekly programs, Lex Powell broadcast the final edition of the Let’s Get Growing program on the 26th of October. Lex , a qualified Horticulturist, broadcast his show each Friday between 9am and 10.30am, - answering phoned-in questions from listeners, as well as providing hints and tips related to gardening and outdoor living, … and of course, playing lots of great music. Lex will be sadly missed at 2AIRFM by listeners and volunteers alike. A number of volunteers were at the studios for the last broadcast, - and to wish Lex well in his new ventures away from Coffs Harbour.

On Saturday 1st September, 2AIRFM held a sausage sizzle in the Woolworths' Breezeway, - with all takings going to the CWA Drought Fund. Woolworths generously agreed to donate all bread, sausages and onions for this worthy cause. It was a most successful event, with over $400 being raised. Added to this amount were donations from 2AIRFM's recent Open Day, - making a grand total of $500.

If you hear of anyone interested in sponsoring 2AIR FM, please pass on their details to our office. Please support our sponsors whenever possible, - they help keep our music on-air !
Streaming
Our programs are now being “streamed” and can be listened to on your computer at any location where you have access to the Internet. It is wonderful news for our local residents who live west of Coffs Harbour. The hilly terrain has hindered the FM reception in the Coramba, Bucca, Lowanna, Glenreagh area . If you have a preferred music player, be sure to look at options at the bottom of the Internet Radio page. Mobile devices, (tablet, smartphone etc.), have also been caterered for - click here.
