Community recognition for you - sponsorship for us
Give your business the edge by standing out, instead of being crammed into the mix of repetitive messages. Sponsorship is a partnership between the local business community and OCR FM.
By becoming a sponsor of OCR FM you are supporting a vital community service for the Colac Otway region whilst promoting your business to a wide community of customers not always available via commercial media. Make your business dollars go further by advertising with OCR FM – the affordable alternative.
We are happy to design a sponsorship campaign to meet your specific business promotional needs, or choose from our current packages below.

OCR FM – Not Just Another Radio Station
OCR FM’s main objective is to broadcast content that is not heard on mainstream media, such as programs for people with a print disability and live coverage of local community and sporting events. We also broadcast a wide variety of music from country to classical and everything in between.

- Community radio reaches over 4.9 million Australians every week
- 30% of all radio listeners listen to community radio
- Listeners spend an average 14.5 hours listening to community radio each week

OCR FM provides so much support for our community, particularly our volunteer community events.
As one of the coordinators of the Colac Otway Arts Trail, OCR has provided us with interview and media coverage to support our event. As a volunteer organisation who have to find funding to run this event this is so helpful for the promotion of our event. OCR FM also promotes our local Community Arts Space, The Makers Space, to encourage new membership and to share our story.
OCR FM is seen at so many communityevents across our region, from Kana to the football, as well as presenting playing and engaging local musicians, technicians and people who
wish to learn the art of radio. It is a great training ground for our youth who have very little access to this kind of opportunity in our shire.

Community radio is a very important aspect of life in our community and is seen as a vital service for the broadcasting of information and subjects of interest to the people of our district. It provides local news, community information and is a non profit organisation that supports local businesses, and in return, local businesses support this radio station. OCRFM provides an avenue for individuals, groups and organisations to tell their own stories and to share their unique experiences. It provides training for people who are seeking to enter the broadcasting industry free of charge, as well as a learning and volunteering experience for retired persons, some of whom are U3A members.
OCRFM is generally considered to be an asset to all communities throughout the region.
Most commercial broadcasting stations stick to a set format for the presentation of information, music etc, OCRFM has no such set formats and welcome innovation in their presentations thus allowing people from all walks of life to contribute.
