Youth community broadcaster FBi Radio tops half million listener mark

Sydney community radio station FBi has topped the half million audience mark for the first time in its 16 year history.

The station, which specialises in independent music aimed at 18-24 year olds, recorded 504,000 average monthly listeners according to the McNair community radio survey for 2018.

Managing director Nikki Brogan said: “The survey numbers are a clear vindication of our commitment to championing new sounds and diverse, emerging voices. The twin milestones of turning 15 and passing half a million listeners are a direct result of the wonderful efforts of a staff and volunteer community driven by a passion for Sydney culture, and of our belief in and respect for our listeners who value being challenged as much as being entertained.”
