21 Years of JOY
On December 1, 2014, JOY 94.9 will celebrate 21 years on air. This significant milestone is a major achievement for us, not only as Australia’s first and only LGBTIQ community radio station, but also as an organisation that honours our connection to launching in 1993 on World AIDS Day. We continue to play a significant role in educating the broader community around HIV and AIDS awareness. From general programming to special projects, such as World AIDS Worldwide and the station’s involvement at AIDS 2014, JOY 94.9 continues to deliver on its mission and purpose: to provide a voice for the diverse lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer and allied communities, enabling freedom of expression, the breaking-down of isolation and the celebration of our culture, achievements and pride.
Celebrate with us as we bring you a month-long extravaganza of special events, interviews, music and more to mark this momentous milestone. Happy birthday to us, to you and to everyone who contributes to YOUR community radio station!
#JOY21 – it’s a CELEBRATION!
