2YYY Radio

We offer apologies for 2YYY having random drop out/ static issues and we have a specialist in the field investigating the cause and to get it sorted. However, our equipment is costly to purchase and maintain so if local businesses and the wider community could donate to our fundraiser it would benefit everyone who listens to The Voice of The Hilltops. Go to the GoFundMe webpage and search for 2YYY or use the link in the pinned post.

Support community radio, please. It only takes a little money for you to give back to the community. Surely local businesses and community members can spare a few dollars to help community radio thrive. Technical equipment is not cheap to purchase or maintain, so please help us to maintain our service to our local community and to provide a better streaming service.

Now, more than ever we need the community to get behind 2YYY 92.3 FM Community Radio. It's not my radio station as I am just one volunteer. It's YOUR radio station, even though a small group of volunteers put a lot of time into keeping it on air and it's awesome thing for a small country town to have. We have quite a small group of incredible sponsors , but we really NEED more. If you are a local business who wants to see community radio survive please contact us at [email protected] or come into our premises any weekday from 9am to 12pm, leave your details and I will personally contact you. Our advertising rates are very reasonable, in fact far less than print media or commercial radio. Please consider helping us stay on air into the future and help us to promote every community group at no cost to them. Or become a volunteer to help share the load. 🙏

2YYY92.3FM, your local community radio station, regularly posts requests for people to join us as volunteers, be it on air or in another role. Like all community groups getting volunteers to join is becoming more difficult. People are volunteering less, and that’s happening all over. Why should you join us? Well, 2YYY is a unique community service in The Hilltops as we are the only community radio station operating in the area. We don’t charge any community group for airtime to promote their message, we have the lowest advertising rates locally and we play the biggest variety of music. And, you can ask us to play the music you like. That doesn’t happen with commercial radio. If you have an idea for a radio show and want to get it on air, or you would like to do something in the admin/production or technical area get in touch with us. Come into the station at 44a Lovell Street Young on weekday mornings to pick up a volunteer form or download one from our website. https://2yyyradio.com/wordpress/volunteer/ We need you to take community radio into the future.

2YYY 92.3FM Community Radio has been operational in Young for twenty years now. However, we are facing a difficult future due to a severe down turn in advertising income and continually rising operational costs. In years past, pre-Covid times, we were supported by local business far more than now. Is it because community radio is largely an invisible presence in the community? If so, it’s not for the lack of social media or radio information releases that advocate for the community to get involved. Be it by volunteering or by advertising with us. Our advertising/sponsorship rates are a fraction of what commercial radio charges. The biggest difference is that every dollar of income stays right here in town to support our operational budget. Not one dollar goes to a city office. Simply put, we need the help of our local community to survive now more than ever. Our continued existence helps every other community group receive free airtime to get their message out to you, and music for the community is something unique to community radio. Local business please consider sponsoring local community radio, the only one in The Hilltops. Please contact us via email [email protected] or by phoning us 6382-72000 and someone will return your call to discuss your advertising needs. Or you can come into the station at 44a Lovell Street, Young between 9.00am and 12.00pm weekdays. And the wider community can help by making a donation to 2YYY and becoming a member. So don’t be shy and join Team 2YYY today.

2YYY is unique in that we are the only community radio station in the surrounding areas that provides a daily request show that people can actually ring in and choose the music that is played. In fact daily request shows are very rare in community radio. A very small group of community minded people bring the show to air five days a week, and if just a few more joined the roster the load could be spread a little. So how about it, can you spare half a day a fortnight to help keep a much-loved program thriving? A few people out of a population of 10, 600. That’s all we need. Contact the station via email [email protected] or come into 44a Lovell Street Young on weekday mornings between 9 – 12 to pick up a volunteer’s form.

The 27th of September marks twenty years since 92.3FM first ran some test broadcasts. Callsign 2YYY 92.3FM began officially broadcasting in mid November. During the last twenty years our volunteers and on air presenters have strived to keep a unique community asset operating for the benefit our our listeners, local not for profit community groups and also to bring you local news about what is happening in our backyard. Yes, we are a different station in 2024 than 2004, but who among you has not changed over the last twenty years. One thing that will not change is our commitment to our community. However, to make that happen we need more volunteers and members so come into the station and pick up a volunteer’s or members form. Local business can play their part in keeping community radio afloat by becoming a sponsor of 2YYY. Our rates are a fraction of commercial radio and the real difference is that the income remains right here to pay our operational costs. So how about it, join Team 2YYY and let’s look towards the horizon together and welcome the future. We can be contacted by email [email protected] or our reception is open Monday to Friday 9am to 12pm Ph: 6382 7200. We are located at 44a Lovell Street Young, NSW, 2594

With a newly minted Committee of Management just elected I would like to say to all of you that 2YYY 92.3FM is a community asset. We are not a single type of music station or mainly one type. Our slogan is "Playing the biggest variety of music" as we are The Voice Of The Hilltops. It is 100% volunteer run and not for profit in that all money we make via sponsorships, membership fees, raffles etc is used exclusively to fund the operation of the radio station. We are asking members of the community who have spare time, or are retired and would like not only to give something back to the community we live in, but to learn a new skill or two to join us, maybe you would like to be an on-air presenter, and we would welcome you and provide any training for free. The daily morning request show and the breakfast slot really need people to help out, even if just a day a fortnight. Community radio is a vital service to The Hilltops so please contact us via any of the methods on our website or come into the station at 44a Lovell Street Young, Monday to Friday between 9.00 am and 12.00 pm and ask for a volunteer’s form.

2YYY 92.3FM Community radio has a couple of important volunteer positions vacant and we are looking for two special community members to come and join Team 2YYY. Firstly, we are looking for someone who has a background in office management/admin/petty cash flow who can spare two half days a week to keep an eye on all of the mentioned tasks. It’s not an onerous number of things for a person with good organisational skills. And you would be dealing with members of the public who come into the station on the days you are there. Being available on a Monday would be fantastic. Secondly, we need someone who has an IT/technical background to support the single volunteer who fills this role, among many others. Being available on short notice would be a huge advantage. Community radio is far more than the sum of its parts, and there are many. It’s a multi-faceted beating heart of the wider community who we interact with, both on air and via our streaming service. Admin and reception are just as important as being on air, so if you think you fit the bill come and see us at 44a Lovell Street, Young Monday to Friday between 9.00am and 12.00pm to pick up a volunteers form or download it from our web site and drop it in. https://2yyyradio.com/wordpress/volunteer/
