Youth Jam Radio, founded with the aim of providing young people with a voice, turned off its 24/7 radio station on February 14, with CEO Isaac Mulcrone saying:“We will be allowing Youth Jam to continue on its evolutionary path and will keep Youth Jam as Perth’s only dedicated youth media network.
Future-proofing the network means unburdening ourselves of costs that we can’t afford and doing things that will grow our audience. Our social media pages are growing exponentially at the moment, as is our podcast network.”
Listeners, stakeholders, volunteers and members of the public who wished for the station to stay on air then got involved and as a result Youth Jam will re-launch on May 19 2025 at 6am.
The station will still be ‘Made by youth, for youth’ with the radio shows turned into high-quality podcasts so you can always catch up afterwards.
