This is an exciting development and will give the local community direct access to their own local Black Star Radio Service. The new service will continue to be operated by QRAM and now in direct conjunction with Yarrabah locals. As the service continues to develop, Yarrabah community is looking forward to producing regular local programs with the support of QRAM.
