Northside Broadcasting (2NSB) is a community radio station based in Chatswood, Sydney, Australia. It operates on the FM 99.3 frequency and is referred to as the North Shore's FM99.3 on-air and for business purposes. In May 2013, FM99.3 celebrated its 30th anniversary. In 2009 it began restructuring its programs and music content to community-based magazine shows, specialist music programs and a more mainstream playlist.

History

The station began broadcasting in May 1983 from East Chatswood, transmitting to Sydney's North Shore - an area that covers the Willoughby, Lane Cove, North Sydney, Mosman and Ku-ring-gai Council areas. The station was originally broadcasting on FM91.5, playing from a jazz-oriented playlist. Following a move to the FM99.3 frequency in 2003, the station was rebranded Rhythm & Jazz, encompassing a range of genres from traditional jazz to smooth jazz, funk, soul, blues and world music.

Administration

The Mosman Daily reported that on 28 October 2009, the station's board of directors appointed an administrator to the licensee, Northside Broadcasting Cooperative, following a period of financial difficulty.^[1] The station switched to a full-time relay of the BBC World Service,^[2] canceled all programming and locked all volunteers out of the studio. The relay of the BBC World Service was to ensure the station met all conditions of its licence with the Australian Communications and Media Authority.

However, A "Radio Rescue" campaign was devised including a concert . It resumed local programming in January 2010, per its website. It continues to broadcast from Chatswood in the north-west of Sydney. The station broadcasts across the northern suburbs of Sydney from Mosman to Hornsby. It operates as a not-for-profit Co-Operative. Its new Chair is Richard Bell, an organiser of "Radio Rescue". The current station co-ordinators are Kaye Browne and Paul Just. The station is supported by around 70 volunteers many of whom are presenters or programme producers.
