We are the voice of our community, a connecting force, a positive collective current that runs deep. We are many voices and many hands, coming together to share stories and spark conversation. Week in week out, we share our time, energy, commitment and passion with our listeners. We share music, conversation and information. We share connection. Because we are a strong little station in a strong regional community, and that’s something to be proud of. We want to acknowledge how important that is. Castlemaine is a thriving, vibrant, engaged, culturally exciting community and MainFM is a massive contributor to that.
