Alpine Radio will be broadcasting live from Tavare Park at the Harrietville Bush Market on Sunday 13th January 2019. 

The Harrietville Bush Market hosts lots of interesting stalls and local producers serve up great food and coffee. Tavare Park is in the heart of Harrietville, alongside the Ovens River. It is located near the Pioneer Park Museum and toilets.

Look out for Alpine Radio's stall, come and say hello to our presenters and request a song. We'll be there from 8.30am to 12.30pm. It's a great location and it will be a terrific day! ​

As the 2018 Captains Ride came to an end, we had a visit from Harley Medcalf in the studio to talk about the adventures and fundraising work done by the volunteers and supporters of this amazing yearly event.

 More photos and information can be found on the website www.stevewaughfoundation.com.au/the-captains-ride/ and the facebook page ​www.facebook.com/SteveWaughFoundation/

Happy Birthday to us!!!  Alpine Radio officially had it's 15th birthday on the 23rd August 2018 - our first broadcast was on 23rd August 2003.

What a huge month - and Glenn Spencer celebrated a terrific milestone on Wednesday 22nd August with his 350th edition of "Rock n Blues".   During the 8 years since he started presenting, Glenn spent (or mis-spent) 2100 hours on air, played approx 21,775 songs, 262 feature albums played in full and 121 feature songs.  And that doesn’t count the preparation time!  Now Glenn’s eating habits on a Wednesday night are NOT the healthiest… for example he has consumed 1,050 Choccy bars including 250 double dip Cherry Ripes, plus 350 stubbies of ginger beer and 700 cups of tea using 1,400 tea bags consumed.  It's not true that the Treasurer wants to bill him for the tea bags!! :-)
