About

ABOUT

Since 1992, 99.7 Bridge FM has been proudly run entirely by volunteers, with hundreds contributing to its growth and success over the years.

 

Known for playing 'Great Rock Variety' people love, the station has built one of the largest community radio footprints in Australia, reaching from north of the Brisbane River to Caboolture and beyond.

 

Bridge FM has always been deeply connected to its community - sharing local events, delivering emergency updates, and offering a platform for those aspiring to work in radio, some of whom have gone on to successful commercial careers. Stronger than ever, 99.7 Bridge FM continues to rock every day - so why not tell your friends to tune in?

The leadership team at 99.7 Bridge FM plays a vital role in guiding our vision, values, and   community focus. Our board members bring a wealth of experience, passion, and commitment to ensuring the station thrives as a not-for-profit community broadcaster.
