If you appreciate the service Radio 4CRB-FM provides and wish to see it continue, please consider leaving a gift to 4CRB in your will.​ Your legacy will help to ensure the continuance of this valuable community effort for the benefit of future generations.

As you can imagine, the cost of sustaining this radio station and its wide range of activities is substantial and we can only continue to provide this unique service with our valuable supporters and donors.

​​​The licence to operate 4CRB is held by the the Gold Coast Christian and Community Broadcasting Association Ltd (4CRB), a community based not-for-profit organisation. The station has grown significantly since first going to air in March 1984 and is now operated by over 200 volunteers and a small number of staff.

Radio 4CRB broadcasts easy listening music, terrestrially over the Gold Coast Region and streams across the world via the world wide web.
