Community Groups and volunteers are integral to our region. Thanks to the AMR Shire, RMR101.9 is helping to connect Community Group activities with the local community.

The Local Loop will be both on-air announcements informing people of up-coming activities being organised by Community Groups, and an easy-to-access calendar on the RMR101.9 website. However, to make it work, we need your help populating both. The more Community Groups that take part in this – sharing what, when and where their events, classes, get-togethers and training sessions are – the richer our community will be. 

If you are a member of a Community Group within the Cape to Cape Wadandi Boodja Region, please get in touch via website@radiomargaretriver.com 

At 9am on Friday 29th of August, Adam Levi was “stoked” to learn he was the winner of the Specialized Tero 3.0 electric mountain bike. “I’m absolutely stoked; I was frothing when I heard I’d won!” said Adam.  His reaction to the early morning phone call and exuberance to come collect the bike from station sponsor Life Cycle Bikes was brilliant.  Congratulations, Adam, I hope your new bike brings you years of joy… and takes you to some magical places that make you froth some more!

Adam won the bike for becoming a subscriber of Margaret River’s first Community Radio Station.  His support for the volunteer run non-profit station has been rewarded and RMR101.9 has another prize ready to give away to a subscriber.

Dave Kent and Gill Pearce both love country.  One delivers a dose of it on Thursday nights at 7. The other wants you to get outside and plant things in it.

Dishing out tips and advice to gardeners who live in the Margaret River region, while also providing some smooth tunes, Gill has your Saturday lunch sorted. 

Dave is immersed in the country music scene.  He writes, he plays, and he performs.  Recently adding another feather in his cap, Dave also curates an hour of modern country music, including live performances and interviews, each week on RMR101.9.

‘Garden Party’ with Gill Pearce. 12pm Saturdays.

‘Down By The River’ with Dave Kent. 7pm Thursdays.

Thursday nights have turned into a radio feast with not one, not two, but three new shows! Yeeeow!

First up, at 7pm is “Down by the River”, hosted by Dave Kent.  Local musician and country music lover, Dave, delivers an hour of modern country music. “Not the old stale kind of country,” Dave says, “this is fresh, fun, and focuses on local artists.” Tune in to hear Dave’s version of “country,” on Thursday nights at 7, on RMR101.9. (Want a taste of country life? Listen to Down by the River podcast –  Don’t forget your flanno shirt! 

Next is “Deep Cutz”. Two hours of quality hip-hop, curated by Dion “hippity-hop” Whittle.  With a deep knowledge of old skool classics, an appreciation for ghetto rhymes, and a love for the beats behind the lyrics, Dion delivers a show that you can’t miss. Deep Cutz, Thursday nights at 8, on RMR101.9.  (Can’t wait for Thursday night? Listen to Deep Cutz podcast – Deep Cutz – Radio Margaret River )

Lastly, at 10pm, it’s the “Thursday Night Take-Over.” Make sure to crank the volume up to 10 and find a spot on the rhythm rug because DJ Hillzee is in da house.  Mixing drum and bass, tech house and all things in between, join DJ Hillzee as he creates a wall-of-sound from 10 – 12. “Thursday Night Take-Over” on RMR101.9 .
