Temporary Service Disruption: Due to technical problems we are currently not able to transmit from our VMC (Charleville) transmitter on the daytime 5100 kHz and night-time 2628 kHz frequencies. Other frequencies are unaffected. The issue is being attended to and is expected to be rectified within 3 to 4 business days.
