Inner FM Start Up
Inner FM began life in November 1987 when a group of local residents held a meeting to discuss the formation of a community radio station in the North-Eastern region of Melbourne. Several of these members are still current presenters on Inner FM.
The first test broadcast period of what was then known as North East Community Radio was conducted in late February and early March 1988 from the Heidelberg Town Hall. This test broadcast lasted for one week. A second week-long test broadcast was conducted during July 1988.
In March 1990, as part of a process of licensing eight sub-metropolitan community radio stations, Inner North East Community Radio was granted a "C" (General Community) class licence by the Australian Broadcasting Tribunal.
It wasn't until December 1990 the Department of Transport and Communications finished conducting further test broadcasts, and the station started regular broadcasts on 10 December 1990.
The station commenced live "streaming" via internet in late 2008.
