About Us

100.9FM is your local community radio station in the Great Southern.

We are a non-profit member-based station, run by volunteers who provide national news, local weather details, community information, and entertainment to our listening audience.

 

We promote and support Australian artists both established and emerging. We also support local, not-for-profit organisations and community groups by promoting their events and services on air.

 

We broadcast 24 hours a day, live from 6am to late, seven days a week with the majority of 100.9FM’s programs being locally produced and presented.

 

When tuning into Great Southern FM you’ll hear a mix of contemporary, jazz, blues, country, classical, gospel, First Nations, classic rock, and easy listening music, and in response to our listeners our music spans from the 1940s to today.

 

Our music reflects our diverse community.

Vision

Being authentic and inclusive to provide quality entertainment, information and a voice for our community.

I have been involved in the many facets of administration in both state and local government operations throughout my working life.

Since retiring, I felt the need to give back to our community, and so offered to assist GSFM wherever possible.

While enjoying the music and other programs broadcast, I believe my skills are more suited to the administration area, hence my focus has been assisting in the behind the scenes.  The efforts involved in producing and announcing on-air, and the technical support required is amazing - I admire and respect those individuals with such talents.

If there is a need, I am willing to help – just like the rest of the Board and Reception team.

Barb Jeremic

I retired at the beginning of 2021 after a 44 year career in education- 22 years in the classroom and 22 years as Deputy Principal. Since retiring, I’ve established a tutoring business, working with great kids and their families. It’s been so rewarding to be back doing what I love- teaching and supporting kids to be their best socially, emotionally and academically. 

My tutoring load is full and, since retiring, I’ve been looking into volunteering opportunities. Nothing hit the mark until I saw a post that Great Southern FM was looking for people to help in the office and reception. I’ve always loved music (I was a mixer for a band in another life!) and enjoy being part of a busy office environment.

After a meeting with Vickie, I dived in head-first and absolutely love being part of the Great Southern FM family, everyone has been so welcoming. As well as reception tasks, I’m helping George catalogue the CD Library, a huge job, and I've started to share some of Vickie’s load, such as rosters. After only being here such a short time, I was pleased to become a board member at the AGM and am looking forward to contributing what I can to this terrific organization
