OCR FM has always existed to provide the community with listening opportunities not available elsewhere. In doing so, over the years there have been many different types of programs on air. From specific music genres and request shows, to talk back and topical information, the focus has always been on 'for the community, by the community'. We kicked off this podcast series with some of the promos from the very first year of broadcast back in 1991. This episode has a number of other promos from across the decades. Do you recognise any of the shows?

OCR FM has always been about providing community news and information for listeners to keep everyone informed and up to date with what is happening locally. Here's a compilation of just some of the many community organisations and events that OCR FM have helped to promote within the local community over the past 30 years.

Community radio is produced by volunteers and supported by local business sponsorship. OCR FM have been providing affordable advertising for three decades, and in return have had magnificent support from the local business community. This podcast is salute to all the local businesses from across the past 30 years who have sponsored the station.
