OKR FM MOVING FORWARD.

Last Sunday there was a meeting of the new “Technologist Group”. This group are the “brains trust” that keeps OKR FM on air, the unsung heroes. The picture unfortunately doesn’t show everyone.

Peter, our social media/sound person is at the right front, Steve, our broadcast expert is at the back talking with Robin, one of our IT experts, and the knee you can see at bottom left is Delilah’s. (Problem when you try and take a photo without people noticing). 

You can see our new studio almost ready for equipment to be installed. The new studio will give us the opportunity to pre-record programs at a time when people are available – to be played on air later. It is a result of a state government grant to assist us in expanding our operations. 

The piece of cardboard shows some the issues that we need to address as we go forward.

If you would like to offer your services then send us an email to volunteer@okrfm.com.au.
