History
The idea of a youth-run community radio station in Coffs Harbour came from Captain John Townsend, a member of the Salvation Army. Townsend realised the success this concept could be. After donations from businesses from across Coffs Harbour, the station launched on 1 December 1973.[1] Since 1973, more than 4000 young people from the Coffs Harbour region have been through CHY FM. The station celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2013.

gollark: Woefully incomplete.
gollark: I agree entirely.
gollark: But by definition ABR is in all locations. Since it isn't here, QB must become it retroactively.
gollark: I'm sure you'd like to think so.
