DEEPWATER RAILWAY STATION

A dream, a vision that has not been realized.

The ABA gave the current Deepwater FM Committee (Deepwater & Districts Community F.M. Radio Inc), a license 1st Oct 1999. On your dial 91.1. 2CBD. 
The vision was that the FM radio housed in the Deepwater Railway Station would be an important part of the community. The community would be involved in the station with its programs.

Unfortunately the committee that has been in power for 5 to 6 years have been unable to capture the imaginations of the Deepwater citizens and the farmers in the district. 
So their original vision has been shattered. 
So the Deepwater town has had to take second best. Live presenters are only on air for a few hours on the weekend. And at this present time up to January 2004, 90% of the time it is switched to the satellite that is pictured above.

It is a pity that the committee people, that I know well, has not the determination or the fortitude to see the Deepwater FM a great success in the town. 
It could be that they have had the ability to set up a FM station, but they lack the ability to bring live people into the studio and stay on air. Something like 17 presenters have come and go from the station. That in itself indicates a problem exists with the management of the station.

I definitely say, it is never late to start and get the house in order with the FM Station in Deepwater.
It will be a sad day when all the Deepwater FM is, is simply a repeater with Glen Innes FM station the driving force.
I look forward to be able  say, `Yes things did not look good for the Deepwater FM Station in Jan 2004, but look at it now, what a success.'
