Events

Radio WAN gets out and about in the Great Southern region of Western Australia with a couple of portable on-air studio units. We can provide on-the-ground and online broadcast coverage for corporate events, product launches and charitable fund raisers.

On the ground we can provide wireless speakers out to 500 metres from the broadcast point so that coverage of your event can be spread over a wide area without being unpleasantly loud anywhere.

For smaller static events, up to four wired speakers can be deployed and in all cases, the programme produced for your special event can be broadcast live online. Should you be planning a live music aspect to your event, we can provide mixing facilities, Front-Of-House PA, live performance recording and of course, live broadcasting of your entire event. Let’s talk your next event over and see what we can do for you.

We have provided live PA, online and FM broadcast coverage for the Albany Agricultural Society’s annual Agricultural Show for several years now.  This is a big event for which we apply for a temporary authority to broadcast the event the old-fashioned way throughout the City of Albany on 98.5MHz FM as well as online.  We can do the same for you, although the FM broadcast aspect does require considerable forward planning.

On a smaller scale, Radio WAN has, for many years, supported the Haz Beanz 24-hour marathon fundraiser for the Albany Hospice.  This is a much smaller, but by no means less important event at which we roll out the ‘Outside Broadcast Lite’ rig.  We remain at Haz Beanz’ venue for the duration, helping keep the athletes awake and motivated while broadcasting the event online.

More recently in April with the assistance of the Albany Returned Services League, the City of Albany and Brightside Live, we broadcast an eight-hour live program covering the ANZAC Day commemorations from Albany WA.

This comprised live coverage of the Dawn Service at 5.30am, a special historical program until 10.30 when we carried live coverage of the waterfront Commemorative Service, the only station in the world to do so.  This broadcast attracted over 75,000 listeners to Radio WAN and was also carried by 11 overseas radio stations as widely spread as the USA, Hong Kong, UK, New Zealand and Guam.

A month later we broadcast a little-known memorial service for US Navy submariners who, while serving from Albany during WW2, lost their lives.  This broadcast was picked up by eight radio stations in the United States and carried by two of the largest online news sites in the US.  The audiences for these events have been truly massive.

There are several other similar commemorative events held in Albany every year which we also intend to carry live.

If you’re planning a commercial, charitable or commemorative event which you feel could benefit from a live Outside Broadcast, let’s chat about it through our ‘Contact Us’ link.
