Radio Sounds of the Mountains

Sounds of the Mountains is a fully licensed, non-profit community radio station covering the Tumut and Gundagai Shires. The station’s volunteers make up the majority of the team at Sounds of the Mountains and through their invaluable assistance the station operates 24 hours a day.

Training courses happen regularly and involve local volunteers. For more details on training programs contact the station.

The radio station is the locally recognised electronic medium for the immediate dissemination and distribution of emergency information. This role covers everything from bushfire alerts, snow-affected highways and roads to floods and severe thunderstorm warnings.

Along these lines, the station has the proven reputation of broadcasting live from the studios or the location of the emergency 24 hours a day in case of an emergency event, such as a bushfire threatening life and property around the South West Slopes/Riverina Highlands region.

The station provides a continuous and well supported service of announcing upcoming community events and lost & found items as well as providing a valuable forum for the local schools, churches, local interest groups, local community and local government groups and organisations to broadcast regular news and information.

Frequent and relevant local and nationally-focused interviews are also a major part of the daily programming of the station.
