“Listeners choose their favourite station at least partly because it seems to reflect them-their tastes, their values, their very selves. It's a 'cultural mirror' for them in that respect-a touchstone by which they define themselves and with which they keep in touch with the elements of their culture." Therefore, by default radio, can set culture and values in society. "The role of radio as a cultural mirror motivates listeners to use a station as a 'soundtrack' for their lives." Listeners use radio as a companionable, lifestyle soundtrack to whatever they are doing.”
- Eric G Norberg: Radio Programming.

What: We have a basic mix of 40/60. 40% Talk and 60% music. We are 100% Christian based and have no denominational affiliations.

How & Where: Broadcasting from "The Bluff" using our 4 kilowatt transmitter we are now reaching an additional 100 kilometres and 10 new centres – including Robe, Bordertown, Hamilton and Portland.

Our "Bluff" site includes an 80 metre tower, large ATCO hut and 85 KVA diesel powered emergency generator. We currently host Optus communications and the commercial station STAR FM on our "Bluff" site. A 30 metre tripod tower has recently been installed at our Compton site which will accommodate the Itlainlian Media Corporation and 5 GTR, who have now relocated onto the old Rhema tower at our Compton site.
