PHAZE Broadcasters Inc is a volunteer-run, not-for-profit community media organisation committed to amplifying local voices and creating real connections.
With a growing online presence and a loyal audience, we currently broadcast from Production Drive, Alfredton to Alfredton and Lucas on 88.0 & 87.6 FM and are proud to be bringing Buninyong’s only local radio station — RAT FM 88.0 — to the FM dial.
With our aerial at the Buninyong Golf Club, RAT FM will deliver local stories, music, community updates, events, interviews and emergency information — produced by locals, for locals.
Why We Need Your Help
We have recently acquired the licence to broadcast on 88.0 FM in Buninyong. Now we need your support to make it happen.
As a not-for-profit organisation, our initial on-air costs range between $10,000 and $15,000. These funds will help cover:
- FM transmission equipment and antenna
- Installation and technical setup
- Licensing and compliance costs
- Local promotion and community engagement
Support from Local Businesses and the Community
We’re reaching out to the Buninyong and Mt Clear business communities, local residents, and community organisations to help us get RAT FM on air.
To say thank you, we’re offering:
- Special advertising packages just for Buninyong and Mt Clear businesses
- Discounts on casual and annual advertising
- Business memberships that include discounted rates and priority access to sponsorship opportunities
- Outside broadcast options — we can broadcast live from your business, event or community activity
- Recognition on air and online as a supporter of local media
Be our inaugural Business Member!
We are currently seeking our very first business member – a local business who wants to stand with us from day one. As our inaugural business member you’ll receive extra promotional value, first-choice sponsorship options and prominent acknowledgment as a founding supporter of Buninyong’s only local radio station.
This is Your Station— RAT FM is your new way to reach local ears and be part of something truly local.
Join us in launching something special for Buninyong. With your support, we’ll make RAT FM 88.0 a strong, proud voice for the community.
As we currently broadcast into Lucas and Alfredton, we are ideally placed to cover the work of UFS Medical, UFS Optical and the newly opened UFS Pharmacy in Lucas. We are more than happy to do live broadcasts from any of these locations, particularly the newly opened pharmacy.
Don’t hesitate to reach out to me if you have any further questions. Myself or one of our other volunteers would be more than happy to meet with you if you need.
