Where we’ve come from

We weren’t always the wonderful broadcasters we are now! LIME FM began in the early 1990’s as RHEMA FM. It was started by a few committed and visionary Christians who had a strong desire to see Christian radio in the region and began South East Christian Broadcasters.

RHEMA FM started humbly on very low power on 99.9 fm in a caravan that had several homes from paddocks to people’s driveways! Originally under the temporary license the station could only broadcast a certain number of days a month but the people loved what they heard and their support saw the ABA (now ACMA) grant RHEMA FM a full time temporary license.

From there a new home was found in the old railway building on Railway Terrace, which allowed the building of fully fledged studios and room for expansion. (The caravan was very squeezy!)

Every year the ABA approved the license to be continued eventually granting a full time permanent license and a switch to the more powerful 104.9 fm frequency.

Through God’s provision, South East Christian Broadcasters purchased a very high communication tower located on ‘the bluff’ allowing our signal to reach deep into the region but also provide income via leasing signal space to other organizations.

The station continued to grow under several managers and was honed and fine tuned and after nearly 18 years as RHEMA FM the board decided to change its name to be become and more contextual radio ministry that reflected our mission as well as location.

On June 5th at 6am 104.9 LIME FM ‘your refreshing choice’ began.
