Radiothon is just around the corner and we are getting excited!
The theme for 2024 is Share The Love
Radiothon happens from Friday July 19th – Saturday July 27th
Radiothon is a time to be playful and creative, and celebrate the amazing community resource that is MainFM. It’s the biggest fundraising event of the year with the primary aim being to encourage listeners to call in and sign up as subscribers. A great way to do that is to ensure you have fun. And we try to make it as fun as possible with extra helpers in the office, snacks and refreshments, lots of happy snaps – it’ a whole vibe!
To make you feel as supported as possible – we’re putting together a ‘Radiothon Presenters Handbook‘ with tips and helpful information – stay tuned for that one. And we are also holding a Radiothon Presenters Forum. This is where we can come together, swap ideas, trade tips, buddy up for shows and ask any questions.
Presenters Forum – Monday July 15th. 6pm @ The Taproom
Rich Moffat is programming the grid and will be in touch with you to discuss your Radiothon show and workshop idea.
Big shout out to Otto Palmer-Fuog for designing our poster – we love it!

How does this work?
TWO SLOTS PER HOUR
We do not expect to have 2 people arrive for every hour.
There are 2 slots per hour so that people can see who may have signed up and choose to join them, if they wish.
Why? Two people in the office is way better! It’s more fun sharing the experience.
At least one person per hour is important, though.
LATE EVENINGS
For various reasons, fewer people want to sign up for later slots. However, the later presenters are just as deserving of office minions as everybody else! The slots are there and we’d love to see them taken up, but let’s see how we go.
MULTI-HOUR SLOTS
Got spare time? Why not stretch a one hour slot into 2?
PRE/POST-SHOW SLOTS
Consider coming in for a slot either side of your own show, perhaps. Two birds, one stone.
BUSY/QUIET TIMES
Some times are busier and quieter than others. It’s a little tricky to predict, but loosely, drive-times and Friday-Sunday are pretty jazzed. More hands on deck during these times would be greatly appreciated.
Stay tuned for more info, but in the meantime if you have any questions, reach out to Steph.
