Radio Five-O-Plus

Thanks to a couple of dedicated 'Radio Buffs' feeling the need for a local community radio station in the Woy Woy Peninsular area, Radio Five-O-Plus first went to air during Seniors Week in March 1993. Regular broadcasting two days per week from a small room above a chemist shop in Umina began in August 1993.Due to the great response from listeners in this area it was decided to move to the Gosford area, so in March 1994, through the help of Gosford Council we were able to set up a transmitter on Rumbalara at East Gosford with increased power of 200 watts, giving us a much wider listening area. At the same time, the studio was relocated to Mann Street, to be more central within the demographic area. For some years broadcasts were on weekends only until our broadcasting time was extended to three days and Mondays were then included. Since 1999 we have been granted the right to broadcast seven days a week and 24 hours per day. Live broadcasting takes place from 6.45am until 10.00
