Come and say ‘Hi’

Drop in and see us in our new Nelson premises at Founders Park (or give us a call) and tell us how you’d like to be on air with Fresh FM! Community Access radio is all about our community and the many incredible people we have living in our region.

Stories By, For and About the Top of the South — all it takes is you to get the ball rolling!

Get Heard on Fresh FM!

There’s a very short expression we use a lot in the community access radio world… ‘By, For and About’. That’s exactly what we should be broadcasting – stories by You, for You and about You. And if you think it’s too hard or too expensive, think again. We have programme makers from all walks of life and all ages. People who had never in their lives before gone anywhere near a microphone, let alone a studio. We’re here to help and guide you through it. You’ll be at home in no time.
So take a moment to consider taking the plunge. We guarantee you’ll find it a rewarding and fun experience. Phone us if you want more information.


THANK YOU SBS – A THOUSAND TIMES THANK YOU!

We got a huge surprise of the nicest kind on Monday Jan 16 when we got a call from our bank, SBS Nelson, to tell us we had won $1,000 in their monthly draw for the benefit of not-for-profit account holders. We moved to SBS at the end of October last year because they offer such great support for community groups …and they’re just so neat to deal with, because they’re truly local.

This donation is such a fantastic boost and is very much appreciated. Pictured above are SBS Consultant Ann Boyd and Fresh FM Station Manager Mike Williams, with the essential Big Cheque. Thanks again SBS – we love banking with you! (PS – our colleagues at Community Radio Hamilton had the same experience at the exact same time! You rock, SBS!)

What is Access Radio?

That’s the sort of question we hear a lot at Fresh FM – as do our colleagues at the other 11 Community Access stations around the country. And we understand… it’s not always easy for people to ‘get’ what we’re all about. So we’ve collated the most frequent questions about what we do and put them together in an easy-to-read format, with straight-forward answers. Click on the Question Mark button at left, or use THIS LINK to go to the page. And if you want to know more, we’d be happy to hear from you.
