History
Wodonga TAFE first offered as pilot course in Broadcasting in 1998 through the Open Learning scheme, becoming fully accredited in April 2000.
In October 2003 Wodonga TAFE applied to the Australian Broadcasting Authority for a broadcasting license. The appilication was rejected one month later because no licenses were available. Wodonga TAFE appealed the ABA decision in May 2004 and in June a frequency became available. Wodonga TAFE applied for a license to broadcast on this frequency a month later and was granted a license to broadcast on 87.8 MHz in September 2004.
Wodonga TAFE Radio commenced test broadcasts in March 2005, with its first official broadcast in May. 87.8 Wodonga TAFE Radio was officially launched in November 2005 by the president of the TAFE board in the absence of the Victorian Minister for Education, Lynne Kosky, whose visit to Wodonga was cancelled at the last minute due to a special cabinet meeting.
The station suffered some issues with audience strength over a year or so prior to 2007 due to another Narrowcasting station setting up a transmitter covering the same frequency. The other station has as of August 2007 ceased transmission.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The custard is setting; meanwhile
I not only have my own history to worry about
But am forced to fret over insufficient details related to large
Unfinished concepts that can never bring themselves to the point
Of being, with or without my help, if any were forthcoming.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“You treat world history as a mathematician does mathematics, in which nothing but laws and formulas exist, no reality, no good and evil, no time, no yesterday, no tomorrow, nothing but an eternal, shallow, mathematical present.”
—Hermann Hesse (1877–1962)
“What we call National-Socialism is the poisonous perversion of ideas which have a long history in German intellectual life.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
