RPP FM has begun broadcasting from its brand-new Frankston studio.
The popular local radio station usually broadcasts from Mornington. It has set up a Frankston studio to provide more coverage on Frankston topics.
RPP FM station manager Brendon Telfer says that the new studio is “momentous for us”.
“We can now directly involve Frankston in our programming. Our Frankston presenters and supporters are thrilled to be working from their home town, and Frankston even has its own frequency of 98.3 FM. The city of Frankston is developing rapidly, and we want to be part of the city’s future.”
The studio went live for the first time on Monday, 14 November. Guests included Frankston mayor Nathan Conroy, Frankston Business Collective CEO Jeff Rogut, Dunkley MP Peta Murphy remotely from New York, McClelland Gallery director Lisa Byrne, and Frankston Arts Centre head of programming Heidi Irvine.
The new studio is based out of the Ebdale Community Hub, and was established with support from Frankston Council and The Community Broadcast Foundation. The radio station hopes to expand in 2023 to create capacity for TV production.
Tune into RPP FM on 98.3 or 98.7.
