SOUL'D OUT: Wednesday 8 pm - 10 pm.

'Jethro' loves his music and has quarantined some of best soul and funk from the 70’s and 80’s - that golden era of sound in the UK, USA and Australia.

But music, like everything else, re-invents itself, regenerates and morphs into forever changing genres and styles.

So, on his Wednesday night show Soul'd Out you can also 'pin your ears back' and catch contemporary dance, electronica, synth pop and lounge.

"But music is politics too….even Justin Bieber" (according to Rolling Stone magazine). So, also get a serve of 'Jethro’s Jawbone' - a weekly look at current affairs, topical issues, and the politics of sport.

Drawing on Jethro’s (long) career in journalism, government affairs and media (and living on three continents) there’s no lack of fodder to pick on.

Two hours of soul sounds, brain food and banter…until we’re 'Soul’d Out!'

NOOSA MAGAZINE: Sunday 9 am - 11 am

Tracey loves words and how they can work in powerful and compelling ways to shape information; the ultimate goal being to captivate readers and listeners. She is fascinated in people’s stories and on her Noosa Magazine program you’ll hear interviews with interesting folk who have something unusual to say, each with an individual view on what’s important in life. There will also be news from around Australia and a mix of rock/pop and indie music.

Tracey is a well experienced journalist with a passion for communications. She has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Media and English and a Graduate Diploma in Education. She has studied broadcasting for radio and television at the ‘Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts’ (WAAPA), and has lectured at two Australian universities in the fields of education, media theory, professional writing and public relations.

She has worked for news agencies in Australia, Indonesia and The Middle East and her experiences as a media specialist include working as a radio reporter and producer with the ‘Australian Broadcasting Corporation’ (ABC), as a general news journalist, feature article writer and sub-editor for ‘News Limited’ and as a news reader/director and morning program presenter for commercial radio stations.

More recently, Tracey’s deep affection for words led to her being chosen to review a book for the ‘Children’s Book Council of Australia’ which won the ‘Eve Pownall Award for Information Books’. She was also selected to judge the ‘Young Territory Author Awards’ in the Northern Territory of Australia.

WONDERLAND: Sunday 7 am - 9 am.

Grace grew up in mainstream society, living a conventional life until a car accident in her late teens changed everything. She was rushed to hospital in a critical condition, had a Near Death Experience … and woke up with heightened psychic awareness. Ever since, she has been able to perceive, see, hear and speak to energies.

It took three years of rehabilitation before she could walk again, and a lot longer to learn how to drive her new, unconventional reality.

To make sense of it all, she started reading Dr. Wayne Dyer's books, which catalysed and clarified her new direction. She went on to discover and utilise the work of many other world renowned wayshowers, authors and spiritual teachers – mainly Eckhart Tolle, Abraham-Hicks, Bryon Katie, Tony Robbins, Deepak Chopra, Louise Hay, Doreen Virtue, Access, Gary Douglas and Dr. Dain Heer.

As a clairvoyant medium Grace has read for famous actors and politicians, and had an extraordinary experience with the Dalai Lama's official bowl players when they gifted her their Tibetan singing bowls, opening up a new direction creating soothing, therapeutic, meditative music, mesmerising many with her angelic voice.

She has also studied counselling and qualified as an expressive therapist.

She has been the wife of a senator, travelled the world, met many famous people and is related to Lewis Carroll, author of Alice in Wonderland. It's one of the reasons she has called her Noosa FM radio show ‘Wonderland’

Grace has three children and has called the Sunshine Coast home for over 25 years.

She has reached a place where she is genuinely happy, positive and thriving after choosing a greater life and choosing it anew every day. She loves to inspire and encouraging others. It is her life's work.‘Wonderland’ is part of that calling.

THE JAMES McKAY SHOW: Monday 8 pm - 11 pm
THE JAMES McKAY SHOW [MORNING EDITION]: Thursday 9 am - 12 pm

I was first involved with Noosa FM back in 2012, hosting a weekly Drive show and a Sunday night program. I left at the end of the year and worked in Commercial Radio as an announcer for 5 years.

I've now returned to NOOSA FM to re-launched my Monday night show, from 10 - Midnight

The James McKay show will be ending your Mondays with Top 40 hits and comedy. Whether you're a night-owl, working the red-eye shift or simply up late, I’ve got you covered.

And it's great to be back!

WEDNESDAY DRIVE - THE RAP WITH BEAR: Wednesday 4 pm - 6 pm

My career path has been long and varied from being an Automotive Engineer to a military bandsman in the armed services.

I relocated to Noosa from Melbourne in the mid seventies and apart from some time spent in the USA resided here until 2001.
 
During that period I established an entertainment and employment agency providing entertainment to various venues up and down the Sunshine Coast. This included the management of live bands, solo artists and also the establishment of a mobile disco service. These services evolved into a retail outlet providing musicians with their necessary requirements and also records and cassettes.
 
It was during that latter period (1984-85) that I became involved with local Sunshine Coast radio. First of all with an album review and interview show on 4NA Nambour and then with 4GY Gympie. The takeover of 4GY by Westco Communications  led to the establishment of a studio and sales office in Noosa Junction of which I was appointed sales manager. 

Having sold the entertainment businesses, I then took up a job offer with KLONG FM in Long Beach California to promote the upcoming America’s Cup Challenge in Fremantle Western Australia.

As I became involved with the Tourism Association this led to me  volunteering as a broadcaster with the local community radio 2CBD FM (Community Broadcast Deepwater). With a reasonable background and an extensive record and CD collection I was able to establish myself as an identity and having completed the training for the Outside Broadcasting Certificate I could assist with the various OB’s that happened throughout the year. I did for a short time take on the position of vice president which gained me a wealth of knowledge with regard to the licensing of community radio stations.
 
In 2016 we moved back to the Noosa area and now reside at Peregian Springs.

The show will also promote local talent along with some interesting interviews coming your way.

ALFALFA AND MS JAYNE: Tuesday 9 am – 12 pm

With a father who was trumpeter & a radio twiddler (and an expert at playing the spoons and the comb). And a Grandmother who was an opera singer and swing time piano player at the local village pub there was no other direction for me to follow but music and theatre.

As a child I would sit with my father in his workshop and we would play with his old bakerlite radio which had short wave on it and we could listen to radio from all over the world. I thought it amazing as a 12 year old that we could hear live music being played from thousands of miles away through the power of the air waves. This began my love of radio.

I became involved in community radio when I moved to the Blue Mountains in the early 90’s and was involved in the station for many years. I presented “Berrocka Brunch” every Saturday for a decade and I loved every note of it. This led me into community festivals and other wonderful performing genres that live on the edge of the arts sphere.

Having moved to Noosa two years ago for a tropical retirement it was a foregone that I would eventually get involved with NOOSA FM.

I’m delighted to be hitting the airwaves at NOOSA FM in the New Year with “Wednesday Drive” . Bringing you an eclectic mix of beats to drive you into your vortex.

THE WAVE: From late til light 7 nights a week:

Music from the tranny to the sound cloud is the selection on THE WAVE, the new revamped NOOSA FM overnight program. Much has changed technically over the years but the one beautiful constant in everyone's lives remains - the magic of music. THE WAVE is blended to evoke the senses of your wonderful memories; the sights, sounds, scents and feelings of your very personal space in time. Music is constantly being updated and refreshed. You'll hear recent releases from old favourites and our world class Sunshine Coast artists and bands; another very important community objective of THE WAVE.

Most of my working life was spent promoting the visual arts by day and the performing arts at night and weekends. A love for community radio grew from several years as an on-air presenter and producer on Perth radio. Now I have the best job in the world; caring for the extensive music library at NOOSA FM, built and maintained by the dedicated volunteers at the station since its inception.

I'm privileged and proud to extend the commitment to good music, variety and entertainment from our very talented day/night presenters into the wee small hours and hope you'll join us on THE WAVE, all night, every night on your wavelength 101.3.

PET-PURRI: Saturday 12 pm - 2 pm

"What would our world be without animals and pets? Thank God for them."

I have been with NOOSA FM since early 2016, starting at reception getting to know our Community Station's ins and outs and all the great people. In May 2017, I undertook at 3 months training to became a presenter with NOOSA FM.

Now, I am bringing 'Good Night Music Pet Purri' to you and talk about dogs. Dogs are a big part of our society and in our families and homes. Whether as companion, servicing as assistant dog for special needs persons, for sick or lonely people, as rescue, guarding or sniffer dogs. There is so many areas where we employ dogs nowadays. No other being has put up with us for so many thousands of years developing relentlessly into servicing our requirements.

I like to bring community issues around dogs to our attention as well as introducing breeds, handling, feeding and exercising our loyal friends.

There are many community based charities and organizations that care about dogs and their owners, my program introduces them to you and will keep you up-to-date with their doings.  And of course, I will talk about cats, birds and other animals, our dogs friends in our homes and environment.

Lost your pet? Call us and we will put a search message On-Air.

METAL NIGHTS: Saturday 8 pm - 10 pm

Having been around music his whole life, Brian's introduction into radio stemmed from his interest in music from a young age.  His first ever concert was Deep purple, supported by Billy Thorpe an The Aztecs and since then it has cemented his love for music and live concerts. This life long passion has inspired him to pursue a career in the Radio presenting world.

As of February 2017, Brian's journey into Radio kicked off with his inaugural radio program - 'Metal nights with Brian'. You will hear the latest news, current gigs and concerts, classic albums as well as a broad selection music from the Metal community.

One aim high on Brian's list is to attempt to break the stigma that is attached to the genre of Heavy metal, and show the broader community that there is a lot of under recognised talent out there.

MONDAY DRIVE: Monday 4 pm - 6 pm
THURSDAY DRIVE: Thursday 4 pm - 6 pm
​
​Born in Munich, Germany, I have lived in Sydney for 55 years before moving to Noosaville in 2015 with my wife to be near family.

I have been retired from the Graphic Arts/Printing Industry for some years now.
My lifelong love of music, in particular Blues and Jazz, prompted me to undergo the Presenter’s Course at NOOSA FM.

My lack of any great talent as a musician (I do dabble in guitar!) allows me to at least play and share my vast collection of CDs with an audience (I hope).
​
My show consists of Jazz, Blues, Rock, Soul and R&B, although not necessarily restricted to those genres in a pure sense.

JUST ROCK ON: Thursday 6 pm - 8 pm

Growing up in a multicultural environment and living 500 metres from the EMI Recording Studio in Brookvale NSW, I was lucky enough to have the interesting company over a milk shake at the local milk bar. Rock, Pop, Blues, Folk, Opera, every type of artist was there. My twin brothers and I started a band when we were teenagers called ‘Milk Shake’ doing covers.
 
Music has always been a part of my life. My father could pick up and follow like a pro with any instrument. One day he shook the house with a great blues track by Albert King and Stevie Ray Vaughan. That’s when I feel in love with the Blues & Roots.

From 1994 till 2006 I was a member of NOOSA FM; from 1996 till 2006. During that time became a Cert III Tutor for NOOSA FM & CBAA. At the same time I was working in the Education Dept of Queensland as a school counsellor as Behavioural Consultant. During that time I had the pleasure of introducing ‘school radio’ to four high schools on the Sunshine Coast. Bringing the music to the community and sharing the classics and ground breaking songs.

Promoting Australian artists with live interviews with a mix of sassy electric thrilling slicks, horn and string bends with the finesse of a woman’s touch.

I have an ‘open door policy’ on my program to all musical artists, so tune in and enjoy.

RADIOWAVE: Wednesday 8 pm - 10 pm

"Growing up in a small Queensland country town the only escape was the radio, from this tiny box I was able to hear about other worlds, my favourite being rhythm and melody. This world was pretty exciting compared to mine so I went there often. Eventually I got old enough to live there and my little box always provided the soundtrack to each step.

Radio and I have had some tough times and have been through a few break ups as LP's are my first love. Dabbled with CD’s and MP3, however like all true loves we always return to one another and yet again, we are to together once more, this time though, I am on the other side as DJ where I hope that I’m helping you though your day as my radio helps me though mine.

So stay tuned for the sounds on a frequency that only the cool people can hear."

NOOSA JAZZ: Thursday 12 pm - 2 pm

John has been a weekend resident of Noosa since 1985 and now lives here permanently. He’s always had a love of jazz music and with his radio and television background it was an obvious move to join the ranks of NOOSA FM.

He’s spent the past 44 years working in broadcast media, starting in radio with the Colour Radio Network through Queensland and 4BK and 4KQ in Brisbane. In 1980 he joined the Nine network taking on his best known role as weather man.

He moved to the Seven network in 2007 retiring from full time duties last year.

His program 'Noosa Jazz' covers a wide range of styles with most of the music sourced from the fifties through to the latest releases. Because jazz is such a diverse complex genre of music, John likes to keep it user friendly, hopefully bringing new listeners to the station.
