City Park Radio (7LTN) is a prominent community radio station based in Launceston, Tasmania. It has a fairly storied history and a unique physical setup that makes it quite different from your average metropolitan station. The station is housed in the historic City Park Caretaker’s Cottage, which is over 100 years old. One of the most notable features of the station is its onsite Radio Museum. It houses a collection of over 50 vintage radios dating back to the 1930s, featuring classic brands like AWA, Hotpoint, and Stromberg-Carlson. It’s a bit of a pilgrimage site for radio enthusiasts in the region. The station broadcasts on 103.7 FM (Launceston) and 96.5 FM (Rocherlea/Tamar Valley). They broadcast in over ten different languages, including Italian, Spanish, Czech, and Nepalese, reflecting the local Launceston community. It’s a classic example of "radio with a soul"—entirely volunteer-run and deeply embedded in the local Tasmanian landscape.
