"$130,000 for the licensing needed just to play the music"
Lets be clear here, APRA AMCOS and PPCA have cheap and simple charging model for community stations (all public information on their respective websites), to owe them $130K would mean they have a gross income already of about, or just over, 2.5 million dollars.
....and as for some of the other dollar amounts for services, they are doing something very wrong. 86K for IT? ... seriously? the only acceptable and fair cost there is the stations rent.
