It is our aim to provide the best 'on and off air' services to the community.

A brief History!
Alex -FM was the brain-child of 8 residents consisting of former Great Southern FM announcers and Goolwa Business owners. A meeting held on the 12th of November 2001 a Chairman and Vice Chair was elected and each member put in $50 (registration fee). By the 4th of January 2002, Alex-FM became incorporated and on 18th of January submitted an application to ACMA for a temporary license. By December 2003, Alex-FM had equipment to record programs and play them on a narrow cast channel. By 2004 a temporary shared community license was granted to broadcast on 96.5. The station obtained new equipment to link to the tower on Kirby Hill. By this time Alex-FM had 50 members with 16 volunteering as ON-Air Presenters broadcasting live programs from 6am to 9pm and a music mix through the night. Other volunteers assisted in Production, Fund raising, Sales, and Admin. In 2012, Alex-FM was granted a permanent license to broadcast on 96.3.
We now broadcast on 91.5.

We are now over 80 members with 41 volunteering as Presenters. We broadcast a wide range of music live from 7am up to 9pm with the music mix overnight. We also live stream 24/7. Alex-FM strongly believes in Social Inclusion and connecting people to their community which enables and empowers them to have a meaningful voice in the community.
