Coast Community Broadcasters Incorporated

Coast Community Broadcasters Incorporated (CCBI) is a nonprofit organization based in Australia, registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC)[4]. It operates primarily on the Central Coast of New South Wales.

Activities and Purpose

CCBI is known for providing a platform for emerging country music artists through radio airplay and performance opportunities[1]. The organization is dedicated to fostering local talent and promoting both Australian and international country music[2].

Operation of Todays Country 94One

Since late 2007, CCBI has operated the community radio station Todays Country 94One, broadcasting on the 94.1 MHz frequency[2]. This station serves the local government areas of Gosford and Wyong, and it was granted a long-term license by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) on 8 April 2010[2]. Todays Country 94One is one of the few platforms offering airplay to Australian country music performers and aspiring singers, significantly contributing to their career development[2].

Community Engagement

In addition to music, the station engages with the community by covering local sporting events and promoting community organizations through service announcements[2]. This engagement reflects CCBI's strong ties to the local community and its dedication to supporting both local talent and community activities.

Governance and Team

The organization is led by a team that includes a Chairperson, Deputy Chair, Treasurer, Deputy Treasurer, Secretary, and Directors. This structure ensures proper management and oversight of the organization's activities.

Digital Presence

Todays Country 94One is also available for streaming online, allowing it to reach listeners across Australia and internationally[2]. This accessibility further amplifies CCBI's mission to promote country music and support local communities beyond its broadcast area.
