Help to build self-confidence, wanting Coast people to slow down and relax, helping people generally. Public speaking, fuelling a
passion for Jazz, the hope of ultimately working in commercial radio. An opportunity to make more acquaintances and friends, getting
back into the community alongside intensive mothering......
Those are some of the motivations of 12 people now doing presenter training with 101.3FM. Click

Helping the Community |
New Baby Grand fills Cooran Hall with Music
A baby grand piano bought from community donations is filling Cooran Hall with music since it was delivered in mid-April 2008.
A gala dinner concert at Berardo's Restaurant in Noosa Heads raised $6,800.
A cheque for that amount was handed to German
baritone, Hans-Georg Wimmer, who performed at the glittering event.

Local and Vocal
A survey commissioned for Noosa Community Radio has revealed that listeners value 101.3FM for providing local voices, local
information and minimal advertising.
The survey also showed that 101.3FM has the biggest market share of community broadcasters in the former Noosa Shire.
Almost 80% of listeners to community radio tuned in to 101.3FM and spent an average of five hours a week doing so.
The areas that listen to 101.3FM are Noosaville (20%), Tewantin (17%) and surprisingly, Coolum Beach (13%) provides the third biggest
audience, despite not being in the former Noosa Shire. The rest of the audience comes mostly from the former Noosa Shire.
The majority of 101.3FM's listeners are female (68%), while just 32% are male.
Most people listen at breakfast (5:30 to 9:00 a.m., 33%) or drive time (3:00
to 6:00 p.m., 28%).
