ROBYN CHOSE A GOLD YARIS

Congratulations Robyn Evans from Southport was the lucky winner of the 94.1FM Grand Motors Toyota Yaris. Robyn couldn’t believe it when we placed a call to her from our Outside Broadcast at Grand Motors. Our Breakfast Announcer Gary Boughen and Robyn had a bit of a banter about the colour, with Robyn at the time preferring red and Gary trying hard to give her a green Yaris. In the end Robyn’s choice was Gold.

This year’s Radiothon was a huge success with the promotion involving OB’s (Outside Broadcast’s) from many Gold Coast Shopping Centres and business outlets.

The OB promotions were designed to also promote the station to a wider audience.

The OB’s also gave our listeners a chance to come and meet the team and double their entries in the Yaris.

Many people are involved in making a successful Radiothon including sponsors, prize donors, staff, volunteers and our listeners who become or re-join our Support Group.

94.1FM Chairperson Eric Muir has congratulated and thanked all involved in the effort as a strong Radiothon ensures the growth and continuance of the station.

94.1FM FRIDAY NIGHTS – JOIN JOHN KERR FOR A FEW HOURS OF GREAT COUNTRY

MUSIC FROM 7PM

We ran a fun competition this year, which was entered, by a record number of people from all over the Coast. Listeners were encouraged to seek out our 94.1FM Grand Motors Toyota RAV take a pic and send it to the station. It didn’t matter where you saw the car the idea was to capture and create a pic that was different and unusual.

In the end it was a Captains Pic, and Gary our CEO said the most original entry went to Andrew Faircloth, owner of The Urban Monkey Coffee Shop in Bundall.

Andrew won a wonderful night for 2 including breakfast at The Surfers Paradise Marriott Resort & Spa.

We got the Thumbs Up from the guys at Urban Monkey!

DEBBI PARKER THE WONDER WOMAN OF 94.1FM

Debbi Parker has been with 94.1FM since day. She has over the past few years been involved in the day to day running of the station handling a variety of tasks, but just recently has taken over the role of Radiothon Co-ordinator. This the third year Deb has been involved and the first year to be totally in charge.

Work on Radiothon starts 3 months before it starts on air. And this year because we had such a great prize of the Toyota Yaris, we ran the fund raising event over 5 months instead of the normal 7 days.

The job involves getting prizes, organising staff, volunteers and making sure all new and renewing members’ details are correctly entered into the computer. It’s also Deb’s role to co-ordinate all prizes and make sure the correct prizes are given to the many winners.

On the day of the Yaris draw there was a rush of signups and everything had to be in place before the draw could start. So it is not a job for everyone and she handled it with ease.

Deb is a born and bred Gold Coaster.

So it’s no surprise her first job was with ‘Tropicarnival’, being mentored by experts in the entertainment industry by Paul Sharratt & Judy Ferber.

Working in this industry meant Deb was given amazing opportunities and experience in entertainment, television with Starcast Productions & Channel 9 Brisbane, and access to the ‘goings on’ in the iconic 4GG studios during the ‘80’s.

Deb is very proud to be the one who introduced ‘Barley’s Angels’ a beer appreciation class for women in Queensland, this was before the Craft Beer revolution here on the Gold Coast

All that experience has culminated in Deb being able to manage the office, our Facebook page and social media and selling sponsorships. She has also been known to go on air – but says it’s not her thing. And on top of all that now totally looks after the Support Group Membership too.

She’s the woman behind the man behind the microphone – Literally!
