Kiama Community Radio is celebrating its third birthday with a party and is inviting everyone in the area to the Kiama Leagues Club to celebrate on Friday 25 August. Get your tickets now at https://Trybooking.com/CJKYP and join in for an unforgettable evening.

Kiama Community Radio (KCR) has in three short years established itself as an institution on the media landscape in the Kiama LGA. 

KCR has come a long way over this time, and is now ready to throw the ultimate party. All are welcome to join in the fun at the Kiama Leagues Club on Friday, August 25 for a night of music and festivities. With local bands like Cha Cha Del Mar, Little Light Duo, Pearl Noire, The Splayds and The Kiama Sea Shanties, this will be a memorable event .

Shifting from podcast production to live streaming a year ago to live broadcasting as a radio station, KCR has gone from strength to strength.

At the heart of KCR are three hardworking volunteers who have put in the work to make KCR a success; Gabi Cabral as Volunteer Coordinator, Madeleine Scarfe as Secretary and David Toohey as President. David had a recent health scare as reported in The Bugle and he is on a mission to have more access and awareness about defibrillators in the Kiama LGA.

Some Kiama Councillors have played an active role in KCR including Karen Rekema-Lang in a leadership steering role in the early days, and Mayor Neil Reilly who wrote, voiced and produced an original old time radio drama called ‘Annie of the Airways’ which is thoroughly recommended for all Kiama locals. It can be found in the podcasts lists at www.kcr.org.au

KCR has produced 300-plus podcasts by our local community, (including my own Old Time Radio drama ‘Journey Through Night’ in seven episodes about 12 minutes long each.)

KCR now has a regular line up of breakfast presenters with Robbie on Monday, Bernie on Tuesday, Glenn on Wednesday and Friday, Gabi on Thursday and Brian Warren on Saturday mornings. Bernie has had some excellent in-studio guests recently with Independent Member for Kiama Gareth Ward, and Harry from successful alt rock Gerringong band Pacific Street and Glenn Shepherd with the Mayoral Murmurs series about concerns about Kiama Council’s finances.

All are welcome to come along and support your local community with some great entertainment and great food!
