LOCALS are being encouraged to get involved with Indigo Shire’s new radio station Indigo FM.
The radio station has now been on air for three weeks in Beechworth on 88FM.
Radio organiser, Paul Fitzgerald, said he was hoping to get more involved with the station.
"If anyone is interested in putting on a show, pre-recorded in the comfort of their home, they can contact me and I’m happy to show them what to do," he said,
He said the process of establishing the radio station had been "very exciting" and the community support had been great.
But he said more help was needed to be able to get the station aired in Yackandandah and Rutherglen.
"At a bare minimum to start up we need a little over $1000 for each of the two towns," Mr Fitzgerald said.
"At present I am using my own FM transmitter and antenna for Beechworth and am happy to continue this until we are more financially stable.
"However, I would like to eventually purchase our own transmitter for Beechworth and mine can be used for outside broadcasts and an emergency backup."
He said getting involved in the radio station was easy.
"There are lots of ways for people to come on board, from fundraising to administration and presenting," Mr Fitzgerald said.
People interested in finding out more about the station can go to www.indigofmradio.com.
