History
The Blue Mountains Public Broadcasting Society was set up in Katoomba in 1985. In June 1992, the then Australian Broadcasting Tribunal granted a full-time community broadcasting licence to the society. In 1994 the station purchased a satellite dish to enable it to receive the CBAA Community Radio Network program feed, allowing 89.1 Radio Blue Mountains to broadcast 24 hours a day. The Society celebrated its 21st anniversary in 2007. In August 2008 the station obtained a license to broadcast on the Internet and began implementing Internet streaming systems.
