The vision came to fruition when the first test broadcast, from studios in Rhema Newcastle, went to air. The signal from Newcastle to Port Macquarie was provided by a landline and the first transmission site was at Red Hill near Telegraph Point."
"Ian Worby was the first President and Station Co-ordinator/Manager, and supervised many subsequent test broadcasts from various locations, finally settling on the top floor of a building in William Street opposite St Thomas’ Anglican Church (this studio has since been demolished). After a few years of moving from place to place, the studios finally moved into “Rhema House” at Hamilton Green (198 Hastings River Drive) where we are currently located."
