A brief history of Radio Upper Murray...

Radio Upper Murray was started in 1993, set up by a group of enthusiastic locals. The application for the Community radio licence was approved by the Australian Broadcasting Authority in Canberra in May 1994 as a test transmission over a 45 day period. The transmitter was to be based at a bungalow at the police residence. The second transmission period began on 1st December 1994. Other transmissions followed. During this time, the Walwa Arts Council and the community radio group began fund raising. Over the years many fund raising events have been held to keep the station up and running. In 1995 the old Lions Club caravan was revamped to be used as a studio. As the test transmissions were ongoing and the interest growing, the aim was to have a permanent licence, 50 presenters, a five-year budget plan and a quarterly licence by 1998. On the 8th February 1998 a temporary licence for nine months was granted. Eventually, the house in Main Street Walwa was purchased and converted into a studio. Radio Upper Murray continued to broadcast from this studio under temporary licences. A permanent licence was granted in May 2006 and was renewed 5 years later. In 2004, the Tumbarumba station was opened. Later on a studio in Corryong was set up and Radio Upper Murray has been operating from the three locations until recently, when we moved the Walwa studio out of the old house and into the Walwa Bush Nursing Centre (aka Walwa Community Centre). We are still a small community station, but we continue to grow and are always on the look out for valuable volunteers from the community.
