RTRFM is The Sound Alternative: an independent, non-profit community radio station that provides an alternative voice for Perth through innovative music and talks programming. RTRFM provides a platform for local news and issues, with a strong focus on the arts, culture, social justice, politics and the environment. We champion local music and support musical diversity through 50+ specialist music programs and a huge program of events.
RTRFM is an independent, non-profit organisation that is primarily funded through the following avenues:
RTRFM relies on the financial contributions of its listeners to operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Revenue raised during our annual Radiothon every August makes up 30% of our annual operating income.
The continued support of our listeners ensures that RTRFM can continue to deliver unique programs and events, and remain a high-quality alternative to mainstream media in Perth.
There are a variety of annual subscription packages available to suit your needs and budget.
By subscribing, you are ensuring that the community has access to a quality independent media source for all to enjoy.
Best of all, an RTRFM subscription includes many material benefits; including discounted/free entry to all RTRFM events, a subscriber discount card redeemable at Perth’s finest film, fashion, theatre and retail outlets and the chance to win on-air giveaways, including RTRFM Feature Albums and Local Features.
It is your station as much as it is ours.
