Southern FM, like many other community radio stations in Melbourne, has incorporated many non-English speaking groups into the program schedule.

Southern FM is licensed by the Australian Communications and Media Authority as a "C" class community radio station, operating on a power output of 200 watts ERP from Moorabbin.

The longest serving on air presenters at Southern FM include Reg Pitt (Southern Country), Terri Adams (Kaleidoscope), Barry Ikin (Let's Dance), David Frost (Breakfast/Tunes I Can't Forget), Greg Neighbour (Choicecuts), Andrew Rennie (The Space Show).

Presenters who moved on include a small group who participated in the first broadcasts of a temporary youth broadcasting station Hitz FM, following the success in 1991 of a Saturday Night radio program NightBeat. In later years another radio broadcast group Golden Days Radio (at time of formation known as Spirit Of Australia Broadcasters) was founded by a number of people formerly associated with Southern FM

Famous quotes containing the word southern:

    “No: until I want the protection of Massachusetts to be extended to me in some distant Southern port, where my liberty is endangered, or until I am bent solely on building up an estate at home by peaceful enterprise, I can afford to refuse allegiance to Massachusetts, and her right to my property and life. It costs me less in every sense to incur the penalty of disobedience to the State than it would to obey. I should feel as if I were worth less in that case.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
