What is fbi.radio?
Our vision is to champion Sydney’s emerging and independent music, arts and culture - at home and beyond.
We create a community of young broadcasters and creatives, and empower our volunteers to discover and showcase local independent artists.
fbi 94.5FM has been on air since 2003, and was forging pathways in the radio landscape even before that. We play 50% Australian music, with half of that from Sydney.
In 2024, fbi.radio was launched - matching the legacy of community programming, with the tools for you to access it.

How long has fbi.radio been around?
fbi [Free Broadcast Inc] was established in 1995 and ran a series of month-long test broadcasts for many years. After a lengthy campaign for a full-time licence, the Australian Broadcasting Authority granted fbi a licence to broadcast across Sydney on 94.5FM. The station launched full time on August 29, 2003.
