WELCOME TO WACBA


Working together

The Western Australia Community Broadcasting Association Inc. (WACBA) is the peak body for community radio and television in WA. By working together, WACBA members ensure that localism, diversity and community access not only survive, but thrive, within the West Australian broadcasting arena. Here's a guide to our website.

The WA experience

  • West Australian community broadcasting is rich in history and contemporary experience. You'll find the WA story and photos here, including an at-a-glance list of events as they occurred and an inspiring historic address.

CB stations in WA

  • Western Australia has more than 25 community broadcasting stations - some in Perth, others located in regional and remote areas. Here they are, along with links to the web pages of WACBA's member stations.
