After and 18-year absence, 7BU has returned live and local to Burnie following the launch of a brand new studio at the radio station office in Wilson Street.

“Having a new studio in Burnie will benefit the community and community figures such as politicians, business owners and fundraising organisers, giving opportunities to speak on air in the new studio environment,” says Acting 7BU General Manager – Kate Di Vona

Previously, the station had broadcast from the Tasmanian Broadcasters hub in Launceston since 1997 and then Devonport since 2011.

October 2015 will mark 80 years of broadcasting by 7BU and plans are underway for celebrations, which are expected to be a highlight for the city of Burnie.
