2010 in Review and a temporary off air period.
A slight license hiccup to be corrected.
Updated Sunday 26th December 2010 at 6:50 am


This year has been perhaps, the most eventful in the ten year history of 2PR FM, with much excitement, celebration, and some disappointments.

Over the last eighteen odd months, we've been conducting a number of successful test broadcasts.  At the end of October this year, we were excited that we had striked an agreement with various Australian Copyright Associations with getting a special license, and with that it seemed we were on our way for full time broadcasting.   We were delighted that we were broadcasting over our tenth anniversary, however they are some license issues that still need attention. 

The Devil is in the Detail

A few weeks ago, we went through the license agreement with a fine toothcomb and found that most of it was fine. Unfortunately they were some requirements in relation to reporting and auditing.  Complying with such conditions would mean a major reorganisation to our music library, which would involved much work.  Due to our various disabilities, the requirements are beyond what we can do, thus we are renegotiating our license in hoping of getting further exemptions.  We are confident that we should be able to get such an agreement, however like any of this bureaucratic material, it just takes time.

Our Latest Earthquake Report

In relation to causing an earth quake, we certainly created a good vibe with our listeners.  Over the last 54 days of broadcasting, ouir tally counted just over 200 listeners. 

We also caused a few knocks in some unexpected places as well.  Though we certainly have no proof or hard evidence, the real threat of our large playlist has possibly unnerved a rival station or two.  Three wikipedia articles relating to 2PR FM were deleted in rapid succession, each of them against the websites policy as they were all strongly sourced. The curious nature of this little drama was that it took place a few weeks after our launch.  Remember anyone anywhere could mask themselves as an admin or editor, and do whatever they want, hence our slight degree of curiosity in the nature and timing of the events.  This has given us a huge boost to our confidence, knowing we have a great product to offer, and are posing a real threat to our competition.

The 2PR FM Mission

We are here not to just play the tracks, but are here to preserve as much of the musical pop culture as possible, from the late 1960s to the 1990s.  As mainstream commercial radio only plays the same few selections, our playlist will keep growing as we continued to digitise our vast archive of music.  More then a passing interest or project website, 2PR FM is a life mission.   

It is much to a sad degree, that we will never see such a large body of great music published again, as was done from the late 1960's through to the 1990s.  It was a time when all genres of music were progressing through there peaks, such as pop, rock, disco, dance, glam, new-wave, country, funk, punk, and ballads.  Mastertapes to much of this music has been lost, and with so little of it being played on main stream radio, we want to preserve as much of it as we can for the current and future generations. 

Our ultimate aim is to bring this project to a terrestrial model, and are constantly working behind the scenes to make this happen.

Temporary off air period

In relation to going off air, we've unfortunately had to cease broadcasting for a temporary period until we iron out some minor bugs with our license agreement.  We signed off just after 7:00 am Sunday morning the 26th December, but hope that we should be back soon.  Even if we are off the air, 2PR FM is truly still alive and kicking in the background. 

Further updates will be posted as things develop.
