After 15 or more years, our Rob Lawrie programme has come to an end.

Rob passed away recently, and with his family’s blessing we continued broadcasting the last programmes that Rob had scheduled until they finished last Sunday. Rob’s programme started in our area and spread to stations all over Australia. We will miss Rob’s voice on Sundays and his style of programming which he developed over time from his original multi file format to the current single polished format file. Rob thank you for your dedication to broadcasting.

changes have been made to our Home page to show our programme guide as a series of drop downs. This enables you to select a day without having to scroll down large lists.

Our Documents page has been updated to make it easier to view and download documents. Additional changes are being looked at to add to this page.

His last being One O’clock Rock on Tuesdays with Maggie and Yee Haa It’s Country with Jimmy on Thursdays. RIP Merv.

The Board and members of Pirie Community Radio Broadcasters Inc are sad to announce the passing of our long time member Jan Stockdale last Saturday. Jan was a member for just short of 22 years, contributing to many programmes by herself and as a co-presenter. Her favourite and last programme was Golden Oldies which she took on when a previous presenter left, molding it in her own style. She was a friend to many listeners, bringing them joy on a Sunday morning. Thank you for the music Jan.

Graham Johnston – Secretary

If it involves the Port Pirie scene you will hear it on “Scoring Up”.
