History
Rhema FM began broadcasting as Radio Rhema at 6am Monday 14 March 1994, initially broadcasting on 103.3 FM with a temporary part time licence. Rhema FM later gained a temporary full time licence. In 1999 Rhema applied for a permanent licence, but was unsuccessful, with the licence being given to 2TLP The Listening Place, an Indigenous station in nearby Taree.
In 2000 the Australian Broadcasting Authority, now the Australian Communications and Media Authority, issued Rhema FM a temporary full time licence to broadcast on 106.5 FM, a frequency suggested by Rhema FM.
Rhema FM hopes to gain a permanent full time licence, and was given notice that such a licence may become available in 2003. 4BRZ Rebel Radio Network objected to the issuing of a third community licence in the Taree area since only two commercial licences are available. Rebel FM indicated that it may want to broadcast in the Taree area in the future.
