Supporting Community Radio in Mitchell

A re-elected Andrews Labor Government will boost community broadcasting in Mitchell.  

We’ll provide a $100,000 grant to Mitchell Community Radio – known to listeners as OKR FM – to help the organisation continue to deliver local news and programming for the community.  

The funding will help the volunteer media organisation continue providing the best local news, sport and music for Wallan, Kilmore, Broadford and other locations throughout Mitchell.

This investment supports the diverse programming that OKR FM showcases to its audience.

Mitchell Community Radio has always placed an emphasis on delivering local programming – including providing a voice for the region’s youth.

Labor has aways supported strong and diverse voices in the media as a foundation of democracy. Only Labor will continue to back OKR FM – because only Labor will do what matters.
