TYGA FM (call sign 7TYG) is a vibrant community radio station located in New Norfolk, Tasmania. It serves as a primary local voice for the Derwent Valley and the Southern Central Highlands regions. The station is almost entirely run by a dedicated team of over 50 volunteers. It is known for its "open-door" policy, encouraging locals to participate in broadcasting or technical operations. You’ll hear everything from country, rock, and pop to "Easy Listening" and "Golden Memories" (specializing in vintage tracks). The station is heavily involved in local events, market days, and fundraising efforts (like their "Substitutes" band performances). It’s a great example of a grassroots station that prioritizes local identity and the preservation of "old-school" radio charm while embracing modern streaming.
