Community
Supporting local community, the local radio station Rose City FM broadcasts 24/7. Note, previously known as Rainbow FM89.3.
A volunteer-based organization, all presenters give of their time and services without payment. Whilst the majority of presenters may run just one show, there are those that fill in for absent presenters, and/or run multiple programs. There are also presenters on committee and a well-known presenter Chris Maddock who also performs the technical requirements for the station.
Community Announcements
Community organizations can contact the station for promotion of events and community announcements free of charge. However, keep in mind, the announcement of dollar values eg entry fees are not permissible under broadcasting regulations.

History
So, a little bit of history for those unaware although most of you would know Dianne was a program creator and presenter at the station. She also undertook voiceovers for sponsors and still does to this day.
Dianne first undertook Radio Broadcast training in 2004 on the Sunshine Coast with Dave Daly from “The Heat” a well-known duo team with Noosa FM.
Details of Dianne’s two radio programs, Country Music Revival Mix and Blues on Tuesday, can be found on her Dianne Mead Music Facebook page

AS WELL AS
DianneMead.com - the ‘used to be’ official website when it was up and owned by Dianne.
WARNING - We do not recommend visiting the domain currently as it was discovered the domain has been hijacked and no longer displays Dianne’s information. We’ll let you know the outcome to this situation as soon as we have something worth sharing.
Back to Dianne’s involvement with the station -
Her programs together with song playlists were listed and playable in the APRA Broadcasting website.
Future
Well, she misses radio announcing that’s for certain however there’s a lot to putting a show together. Dianne would spend at the least the same amount of time prepping for a program as she would presenting it and in most cases the show would be three hours long.
Then there’s the fill-in programs and voiceovers.
So, let’s just say that’s a lot of hard-working hours with no pay. Although we must also give credit where credit is due. Obviously, there are payoffs to presenting when it’s something you enjoy. Like interviewing and guest speakers, exposure and influence, autonomy, and generally suiting personality type or situation.
That said, Dianne had the pleasure of interviewing Adam Harvey, Jim Hermel for the Coad Family and Libby for Beccy Cole for instance.
Along with celebrities she interviewed locals, international Lions Club visitors, and enjoyed a regular addition to her Wednesday program with Yangan local and founder of the AFL Cardinal Cup Challenge, Colin Pope, for sports updates.

Let’s just say she’s been approached a few times and well, you may be hearing Dianne on the radio again soon, that is, besides on voiceovers.
Can you pick her “radio voice”? :)
You’ll just have to subscribe to hear more. WINK WINK
Pssst… little funny aside … coming from a legal background it’s amusing, though not surprising, Dianne is asked to voice law firm and professional sponsor ads. Listen out for that.
If you’d like to engage Dianne to create voiceovers for you and your business send a message.
