Perth community radio station RTRFM 92.1’s annual subscription drive Radiothon happens from 16 to 25 August 2019.
Radiothon is RTRFM’s annual subscription drive running from Friday 16 to Sunday 25 August. It’s the time of year when our presenters, volunteers and staff call on listeners to put their money where their ears are and subscribe and donate to keep community radio strong and vibrant.
The financial support subscribers give us during Radiothon makes up 30% of our annual income and it is this support that makes sure we can continue to make the independent radio which is an essential part of a vibrant local culture and diverse media landscape.
RTRFM is funded by local people who believe it’s important to hear different music, local stories, and diverse voices on their airwaves. By subscribing you are; showing you care about local music, local artists, and local voices, supporting the cultural fabric of our city and amplifying different sounds and ideas, and connecting to local people telling local stories in your community.
By subscribing during Radiothon 2019 you can win great prizes including golden tickets giving you a year of free entry to music and arts events, all the albums featured on RTRFM in the last year, luxurious holiday accommodation, fun courses, exclusive experiences, delicious food and booze prizes and more.
The adventure begins at 6am, Friday August 16, and you can join us at The Bird Mess Hall for the Radiothon Early Birds party, a dancing in the daylight get down with DJ Aslan Will Bixler and Girlname with toasted magic from Toast Face Grillah.
Throughout the 10-day Radiothon extravaganza the RTRFM studios will be inundated with special guests: from appearances from much-loved former presenters and visits from local personalities, to live in-studio performances from our favorite musicians. Listen and subscribe to be part of something that amplifies different sounds, voices, and ideas, making your world a more diverse place.
Everyone that subscribes to RTRFM during Radiothon 2019 goes in the running to take home one of our amazing major prizes. We’ve put together some amazing experiences for you this year including the now famous RTRFM Golden Ticket, which is free entry to all the gigs at The Rosemount, Mojos and Rock Rover for a year and free entry to all other Cool Perth Nights gigs throughout the year.
