RMR
PROGRAMMING
Our intention at RMR is to entertain and inform.
We play classic and well loved songs and throw in some new and less well known quality tracks to keep it interesting.
Programming will evolve with the community’s feedback and support.
We want to hear local voices.
Most importantly we’ll support local musicians, local industry and community organisations.

Music Shows
RMR’s music has been kindly donated and sorted by volunteers from their purchased music collections.
At the moment we’re searching for music from 2006 onwards. We’re looking for popular newer artists like Spacey Jane, Tash Sultana, London Grammar, Post Malone, Dua Lipa and Glass Animals. We’re also looking for more current classics from established acts like The Gorillas, MGMT, The National, Magic!, Bon Iver and Fleet Foxes.
Please deliver your musical donations on USB to the RMR Studios at the Margaret River Community Centre on Tunbridge St or contact our Music Curator Cate Worsley.

Local and Australian musicians please contact Angela D’Arcy-Evans for consideration in our Local or Australian playlist.

Easy Beats
Our take on easy listening featuring an eclectic mix of beloved, mid-tempo songs from all eras that are not too challenging on the ear and lift the soul.

10am – 4pm every day.
Take it home
Two hours devoted to celebrating Australian music. This is also where we get to showcase and promote our local talent.

Remedy RMR
Wind down at the end of the day with some beautiful tracks to soothe a tired mind. This playlist features pop/rock/folk classics – think old school Fleetwood Mac, Van Morrison, The Beatles, Otis Redding, Neil Young and contemporary chill with Angus and Julia Stone, Ray la Montagne and Bon Iver.
Essentially, we’re turning the tempo down a notch so you can too.
6pm – midnight Sunday – Thursday.

Coming Soon
The Local Pulse
A reliable, objective, local news source is critical to keeping communities informed, up-to-date and therefore safe and positively connected.
We will invite and seek answers to community questions but won’t trade in rumour – if a story can’t be substantiated you won’t hear it on The Local Pulse.
Music will feature across the hour, punctuating a round-up of live and pre-recorded interviews with regular and occasional guests.
These will include Shire officers and councillors, Police, local health advisors, mental health experts, educators, indigenous leaders and fitness experts.
10am – 11am Thursdays
