History
CHY Coffs FM was launched in 1973
as an initiative of Captain John Townsend from the Salvation Army.
He realised the potential success of the concept of nurturing the
talents of the youth in the local area. Many Coffs Harbour businesses
donated material, time and advice and CHY (Coffs Harbour Youth)
made its first broadcast on December 1, 1973.
Dedication
CHY - Coffs FM is dedicated to the development of self esteem, communication
skills and community spirit in its trainees starting at the age
of 13, providing a bridge from the sheltered school system to the
employment world. More than 4000 students have completed the CHY
experience with a number going on to success in the commercial world.

Development
& Sponsorship
Over 30 years CHY FM has developed into a state of the art radio
station - from its beginnings of a one room set up to a fully equipped
On-air studio, Training studio, Production Studio, and offices.
Technically none of this would have been possible without dedicated
and interested sponsors like TJH Systems and ADNET Audio & Internet
who have freely given their time, expertise and donated equipment. |
