About Coast FM 963
Timeless music and community connection across the Central Coast
Welcome to Coast FM 963
At Coast FM 963, we pride ourselves on delivering the ultimate soundtrack to your laid-back lifestyle, blending the best music from the 60's to 2010. Whether you're cruising along the Coast, unwinding at home, or catching up with friends over a barbecue, our carefully curated playlists are the perfect accompaniment to your day.
As the number one choice for Generation X and Baby Boomers in our region, we bring you more than just music. Our specialty programming in the evenings adds an extra layer of entertainment, offering unique shows and features that keep you engaged and entertained long after the sun sets.
Community at Heart
Coast FM 963 is more than just a radio station. We're a vital part of the Central Coast community, with a solid local focus 24 hours a day. Unlike other commercial stations that rely on syndicated content from distant cities, we're committed to celebrating everything that makes our region special. From promoting local events and businesses to showcasing talented artists and musicians from our area, Coast FM 963 is dedicated to connecting you with the heartbeat of our community.
Because we're a community broadcaster, we do things a little differently. With only a third of the sponsor content per hour, we offer a refreshing listening experience that puts music and community first. This makes Coast FM 963 the perfect partner for businesses looking to reach our loyal audience with on-air content that resonates.
So, whether you're a long-time listener or just discovering us for the first time, we invite you to tune in on 96.3FM or on-Line, relax, and let the good vibes of Coast FM 963 transport you to the heart of the Central Coast.
Welcome aboard! Sit back and enjoy the Central Coast with Coast FM 963
Our Organisation
Founded in 1988 as the Central Coast Community FM Radio Association Inc., Coast FM 963 has thrived thanks to the dedication of 60 volunteers who selflessly contribute their time and talents. From crafting engaging programs to representing community interests on our management committee and working groups, our volunteers embody the spirit of the Central Coast.
To ensure our organisation's sustainability and success, we've assembled a dedicated support team, including management, sponsorship and marketing teams, and operational support staff. Together, we work tirelessly to maintain Coast FM 963's position as a vital community hub.
Proudly holding the title of the longest-running community radio station on the Coast, formerly known as 2CCC until 2006, Coast FM 963 has been a permanent fixture in our region since 1992. As a proud member of the Community Broadcasting Association of Australia, we extend our gratitude to the Community Broadcasting Foundation for their invaluable support.
At Coast FM 963, we're not just broadcasting; we're building bridges, fostering connections, and celebrating the rich tapestry of Central Coast life. Join us as we continue to champion our community's diversity, creativity, and spirit.
