The Station
Sea FM play Top 40 music generally from the past two decades. They also showcase popular new music, and get listeners to give feedback via the web promotion 'Rate the Hits'.
The station uses the Radio Computing Services (RCS) NexGen Digital Automation system when on air, complemented by Adobe Audition. Sea FM's three production suites utilize the latest Pro Tools systems, and A-ware Software's MusicMaster v4 is used for Music Scheduling. All songs, commercials and station identification information is played digitally from NexGen, using a high bit-rate proprietary version of the MPEG-1 Audio Layer II codec. Sea FM, like most commercial radio stations, only use CD players as a back-up to their Automation System.
Central Coast Radio is also home to Southern Cross Austereo's network music library, a fully cataloged CD library consisting of over 200,000 High Definition music tracks. Research began for the CD library in 2006, gathering the required music from various sources, in preparation for the Network-wide rollout of the NexGen Digital Automation system. All songs for every station in the Southern Cross Austereo regional group originate from this library. The music is usually transferred to all stations overnight via a proprietary data transfer system, originally built into NexGen for the Clear Channel group of stations.
Sea FM has been on the Central Coast for over 19 years, trading as either 'Sea FM', or formerly 'Coast Rock FM'.
The station is networked between 4pm and 5am taking programming from sister stations Fox FM, 2Day FM, and 90.9 Sea FM, on the Gold Coast.

Famous quotes containing the word station:
“When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“...I believe it is now the duty of the slaves of the South to rebuke their masters for their robbery, oppression and crime.... No station or character can destroy individual responsibility, in the matter of reproving sin.”
—Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)
