96.5 Inner FM Melbourne

96.5 Inner FM's studios are located at Shop 38, Warringal Shopping Centre, corner Rosanna Rd and Burgundy St in Heidelberg and our transmitter is located at the Austin Hospital. Our compact offices house two on-air studios and we operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The station has been located at Warringal SC for most of its lifetime but started off in its infant stages at the Heidelberg Town Hall. Inner FM serves the cities of Banyule, Manningham and Darebin. We are also heard over a much wider listening area, with a listening potential of over 425,000 people in our community. Inner FM commenced full time broadcasting in December 1990. Since then, Inner FM has emerged with its own unique personality and sound as it continues to develop. Our format is a mixture of magazine style and music programs, appealing to all tastes and age groups. We have many special interest programs including multicultural, service clubs, community groups, scouting, legal, lifestyle and many more. We are a totally volunteer run organisation with over 60 volunteers involved. The running of the station is coordinated by our Committee of Management who meet once a month. The revenue for the station comes from sponsorship and membership. We don’t receive funding from the government and we are constantly fund raising to help supplement the costs of running the station. We do however compete for small grants from councils and the Community Broadcasting Foundation to allow us to repair and replace equipment etc. We need and greatly appreciate anyone who would like to support us by becoming a member or valued sponsor.
