Volunteer: Radio Media
About 2BOB FM
2BOB Radio is almost entirely volunteer-run, and new volunteers, including program presenters, are always welcome. We benefit from certain government funding and services available to community radio stations and community organisations but, otherwise, 2BOB Radio's operation is principally powered by the talent and energy of local residents from in and around the Manning Valley.
Our organisation
Manning Media Co-operative has been set up as a not-for-profit, public benevolent institution with the aim of promoting the principles of co-operation and the spirit of goodwill amongst community members. It is run by a board of directors who receive no remuneration for their services and who are elected each year by the members. It pays annual copyright and license fees and is answerable to its members, the community, the Department of Fair Trading, the Department of Communications and the Australian Broadcasting Tribunal. It is a member of the Public Broadcasting Association of Australia (PBSAA), the Northern NSW Public Broadcasting Association, the Taree Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Tourism and Manning Valley Tourism Board.
The station is financially independent and therefore not reliant upon ratepayer funding. It raises its revenue by subscription, sponsorship, donation and fund-raising events. It has no debts and all assets are owned by the Co-operative. Successful submissions for Federal Government grants have enabled 2BOB to employ people for short periods at award wages, to undertake special projects and to acquire needed equipment. Running as well as it does on its tiny budget is only possible because its workers are volunteers.
