Soccer returns on Trax FM from April 11th when we bring you the first match of local side Savoy from their home ground at the Port Pirie Sports Precinct. The broadcast commences at 2.45pm from the Media Centre

The new committee for 2020/21 is as follows:

Ray Walters Chairman, Graham Johnston Secretary, Christine Kent Treasurer, Rose Marschall, Tony Adriaanse and John Rohde. We thank our past committee members for their involvement over the years. This year has had its challenges but we look forward to brighter times at Trax FM

Radio Filipino returns to Trax FM on Sunday 7th June at 2pm. As the restrictions ease in the COVID-19 crisis, Radio Filipino returns to the airwaves in their bi-weekly broadcasts on Thursdays (1pm to 3pm) and Sundays (2pm to 4pm).

During the current period of restrictions we have introduced some changes to our programming on Trax FM. Evening timeslots on Mondays and Fridays have music programming without presenters and this is likely to continue for quite some time. With winter approaching we will concentrate on having presenters on air during daylight hours. The exceptions are Thursdays and Saturdays where the current programmes will continue.

Radio Reading continues while the paper publication of the “Recorder” is in recess. Classified notices are still available through various sources online, media releases, newsletters, and other online resources are still available (including occasional articles in the online Recorder page) for us to use. The Adelaide Sunday Mail will also be read as many articles are of interest to local readers. Following Radio Reading we are broadcasting the “Vision Australia Hour” from the Community Radio Network.

There will be no Radio Reading broadcast on Sunday 19th April as the Recorder newspaper is not publishing this week (Thursday 16th April). Next publication date is Thursday 23rd April and hence our next Radio Reading broadcast will be Sunday 26th April (the day after Anzac Day) Trax FM staff

There will be some changes to the programming on Trax FM due to the current situation with the virus. Jan , Jimmy and Radio Filipino are taking a break from radio until the committee deems the situation has improved enough. In some cases there will be resheduling of other programmes into the gaps created by these absences. More to follow

Last night we had another fundraiser for Trax FM in conjunction with the Pirie Community and Sporting Club. A big thank you to the Club and the Billy Goat Hill Band for providing the facilities and the music on the night. We had a wonderful time and caught up with many family and friends during the evening. The dance floor was busy all night and the friday night meals provided by Trevor were great. Thank you to Judy for all your work putting it together. Rhonda and Rose from Trax FM organised the raffles and Vicki answered all the questions that people may have had. Thank you also to the Savoy Soccer Club who donated prizes for our door raffle when they heard we were having a fundraiser.
