8CCC wins long term broadcast licence!
8CCC has been successful in our application for a permanent licence to broadcast on 102.1FM to Alice Springs and Tennant Creek. Having operated on an annual temporary licence since 2005, we are delighted to have succeeded in this bid.
On hearing the announcement from ACMA, Chair of the Board of Management, Eli Melky said, “Its a great achievement, particularly having won against some stiff competition for the licence.”
Eli said, ”Thankyou to the other members of the Board: Kate Lawrence, Beck Gooderham, Joy Taylor, Nadine Williams and Jeff Kessel without whom the station simply would not have survived. Special mention to Kate, Joy and Bec who prepared a very professional and comprehensive application which clearly provided us with the best possible chance to succeed.”
“Thanks also to the presenters and other volunteers, past Board members and staff, all of whom have helped the station since 2005-6 when we became an incorporated body, moved to Eastside and gained the temporary broadcasting licence. with our permanent licence, we now have a stronger platform to build our future in Central Australia.”
