The original studio was too small, so a half warehouse with an office in Matong Rd, Echuca was rented at a very good price, divided into 3 studios (only one equipped) a Production Room, Library etc, and the Station moved there in mid 1977. Some programs were still relayed from KLFM.

On 4th November 1997, EMFM was issued a full time licence, broadcasting 24 hours a day,  7 days a week on a frequency of 104.7 MHz, which it does to this day.  With this came full membership of the Community Broadcasting Assoc. of Aust. (CBBA)

During this time, Radio EMFM’s production facilities were used to record the then Royal Vic. Institute for the Blind (now Vision Aust) Talking Riverine Herald & Deniliquin Times Newspaper.

Outside broadcasts have always been part of Radio EMFM, and with the gift of a caravan from Echuca Moama Rotary Club, after some refurbishment in this year 2008, we will have a permanent mobile studio.  There will be no stopping us!

EMFM moved to Matong Rd for some 7-8 years, then to a ’dog box’ studio at the back of the Echuca Bowling Club for 2 years. This was a cramped two room portable, until we moved into the present studios in December 2006 at the Echuca East Recreation Reserve after they had been refurbished. We now have a sound-proof ‘on air’ studio, a library room, an office, and a production studio and toilets.

The studios in Sutton St were officially opened on 12th February 2007 by Monique Wright, Weather Presenter on TV Channel 7’s Sunrise Program.  We have been at this site now for just over two years.
