Chris B will be back on air after a sabbatical break to study the music of South America!! Chris returns next Tuesday 28th February with a Mixed Bag with Chris B. Guess what!? The featured music on her show on Tuesday is the music of Cuba!!! We have it on good authority that she was charged for excess baggage due to the number of CD’s she brought back with her.
We all look forward to the show from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm on Tuesday

The famous Andrew Ogilvie will be coming back to 93.7 Edge FM so keep looking here and we will advise when we have agreed a time slot with Andrew. It is about time we had some refinement and quality on the station.
The Federal Budget has failed to maintain funding for metropolitan community digital radio services in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide. The CBAA has launched a campaign to show just how much support there is for our sector and how important it is to secure our digital future.
We really need your help! Will you get involved?
The Federal Budget contains cuts of $1.4 million p.a., funding that currently keeps community radio stations broadcasting on digital in 5 capital cities. Community radio’s standing alongside public and commercial broadcasters is at risk.
It’s not a lot of money in the scheme of things but this decision to exclude community broadcasters from digital radio puts our sector’s future at risk.
Because we’re about to go to an election, we think both the Government and Labor will be paying more attention than usual and we plan to be very loud in those key seats that both sides are battling hard for. These seats are won and lost by just a few hundred votes, so every voice counts.
Will you join our campaign to Keep the Community in Your Radio by signing this petition so we can show the Prime Minister these cuts don’t have community support?
Without this funding community radio will get kicked off digital but we refuse to be left in the last century.
Please, sign here and make sure your friends know about it so they can sign it too.
In the midst of a very close election campaign I believe we can turn this funding shortfall around, but the only thing that will make a difference is you, and everyone who cares about the future of community radio.
Keep the Community in Your Radio by adding your voice.
How you can get involved
We’ll be in touch again soon to let you know how we go.
Thanks,
93.7 EDGE FM Team

With more grooves than a record store, The Escalators tip their fedoras to the sophistication of Swing, the funk of New Orleans, & the rhythmic pulse of Jamaica. The Escalators’ sound is a musical crossroads where four musicians come together in a glorious fusion of creativity & inspiration. The Escalators collect fans from all points of the compass: blues lovers, jazz cats, reggae devotees, funk/soul-brothers & sisters.
The gorgeous tone of Jenny Blunden’s voice steals your heart while Lachlan Mackenzie’s guitar lines weave with pick-pocket grace through a rhythmic framework rich in interplay between Brad Parson’s upright bass & the drum kit captained by Hayden Moore.
The Escalators’ live show creates an intimate audience connection with a keen sense of humour. Add moments of jaw-dropping musicianship, & finish off with unbridled ‘push-the-tables-back’ dancing.
The Escalators are on the road in 2016 with a new CD “From The Hip”.
‘From The Hip’ (2016) boasts 5 original compositions that show this outfit draws on a deep well of creativity, fed by their swing, soul & reggae roots. They also honour the originators on two jazz standards.
The lead single ‘Open Fire’ is currently receiving airplay across the country & reached #1 on the Triple J Unearthed ‘Roots’ Chart.
Gravel will be on the Edge FM air waves on Easter Monday from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm with his special Easter show. The Easter Bunny will visit as well.
Make sure you tune in as this return of Gravel has cost the station dearly with fees of triple time for the public holiday
