Radio Northern Beaches

Community radio station broadcasting to the Northern Beaches of Sydney. Radio Northern Beaches is run by, the Manly-Warringah Media Co-operative. Ltd.

Tune in to programs about music, arts, business, technology, politics and more on 88.7 & 90.3 FM or stream online rnb.org.au Radio Northern Beaches is the community radio station for the Manly, Warringah and Pittwater community. All of the members of radio Northern Beaches are volunteers, no one in the Co-operative gets paid. The Co-op is set up to cover all types of media: radio, television, film

, print, and Internet. Although the Co-op's aims embrace all forms of media, most member's energies are currently directed to radio. The Co-op was formed in 1975 and Radio Manly-Warringah first went to air full-time in March 1984. It did so on the premise that local individuals and groups should have the opportunity to speak to their community as effectively as possible, without censorship and without commercial pressure. When Pittwater Council was formed, we changed our "station call-name" to Radio Northern Beaches, but the Co-op is still called the Manly-Warringah Media Co-op. The Aims of the Manly Warringah Media Co-operative

The Manly Warringah Media Co-operative Ltd is set up in the belief that individuals and groups within the community ought to have opportunity to speak to the community in the most effective way possible - radio, television, press and film. The supply of those means in the hope that facilities offered will bring about a more effective and creative community life, break down prejudice and remove isolation where such isolation has negative results is a primary object of the co-operative. (Rule 13)

Our current program listing features a diverse range of programs covering a wide spectrum of interests.

🎙️ COMING UP ON MUSICAL CHAIRS WITH ELLIE! ☀️🎶

Hey everyone! Welcome back to Musical Chairs Chat Show! I’m Ellie — and today we’re heading all the way to sunny Boorloo/Perth to catch up with an artist whose sound feels like pure light. ✨
Indie-folk songwriter Clare Perrott is back with her bright and lively new single ‘Biting On The Hand’, OUT NOW. This one is drenched in golden-hour energy — sun-soaked, nostalgic, and full of that hazy summer feeling you never want to let go of.
‘Biting On The Hand’ is a high-spirited alt-folk anthem for the emotionally confused but self-aware — turning self-reflection and regret into something joyful, free, and beautifully alive.
We’re diving into:
🌿 The story behind how the song came to life
🌿 The heart and humour in Clare’s songwriting
🌿 What it means to turn regret into release
📻 Tune in: Radio Northern Beaches 88.7 & 90.3FM or LIVE STREAM on rnb.org.au
🕒 Date & Time: THURSDAY 18TH DECEMBER 2025 AT 11AM & SATURDAY 20TH DECEMBER AT 8AM
This is one warm, heartfelt conversation you won’t want to miss. 💛
