About This Station

**88.9 FM Richmond Valley Radio** is a volunteer-run community radio station based in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales, Australia, broadcasting to the Richmond Valley and surrounding localities under the Coraki RA1 licence area. Its programming is music-focused, reflecting the community's preferences with a mix of rock 'n' roll, country, old-time, dance, pop, blues and classics, spanning Top 10 chart hits from 1955 to the present. Specialist programmes include *My Generation* (music, news and culture from the late '70s to early '90s) and *The Time Zone Top 40* (a countdown of the Top 40 from exactly 40 years prior), alongside comedy series such as *How Green Is My Cactus* and non-musical features like *Castlereagh Line* and *Dad and Dave*. The station also airs Australian Independent News and prioritises local emergency announcements and community organisation notices, which are free-to-air.
