We broadcast from Dunedin on 105.4FM and 1575AM, and stream live from oar.org.nz Our aim is to provide the diverse range of groups and individuals that make up the fabric of our society with a voice – encouraging participation, information sharing and involvement in community life. This guarantees listeners a fascinating blend of information, opinion and debate, entertaining mix of jazz, soul, blues, reggae and world music that includes the work of many talented New Zealand and local artists. As part of the network of 12 Community Access stations nationwide, we exist to provide you with opportunities to get involved in making, supporting or sponsoring programmes aimed at Dunedin and Otago listeners.
