For 25 years, 95.1 GemFM has been the heart and soul of Bowen’s airwaves, proudly serving our community with music, news, and local stories that matter. Since our very first broadcast, we’ve been committed to giving Bowen a voice, supporting local talent, and keeping our listeners informed and entertained. Now, as we celebrate this incredible milestone, we reflect on the journey that brought us here and look ahead to an even brighter future.
From the beginning, GemFM has been more than just a radio station—it’s been a vital part of Bowen’s identity. We’ve championed local musicians, promoted community events, and provided a platform for clubs, associations, and businesses to connect with the people of Bowen. Our dedicated team of volunteers has worked tirelessly to ensure that every song, every announcement, and every story shared over the airwaves strengthens the bonds within our community.
Over the years, we’ve adapted to the changing landscape of radio and technology while staying true to our roots. From our humble beginnings to becoming a trusted source of local information and entertainment, GemFM has remained a station for the people, by the people. This milestone is a testament to the unwavering support of our listeners, sponsors, and volunteers who have kept the station alive and thriving.
As we celebrate our 25th anniversary, we’re not just looking back—we’re looking forward. The future of GemFM is filled with exciting possibilities, including upgraded technology, fresh programming, and an even greater focus on community engagement. Our goal is to continue evolving, ensuring that we remain a relevant and cherished part of Bowen’s daily life for many years to come.
To mark this special occasion, we invite everyone to join us in celebrating 25 years of community radio. Whether you’ve been a longtime listener, a supporter, or a newcomer tuning in for the first time, this milestone is as much yours as it is ours. Stay tuned for details on our upcoming celebrations, and let’s make this a year to remember!
