We have a huge target of 1,000 new supporters during our 10-day drive!

By signing up as a regular supporter, you’ll be part of something bigger than just listening to radio. You're connected to a network that discovers tomorrow's headliners before they even know they're going to make it big. This community exists because you make it real. fbi champions emerging artists and youth culture, broadcasting 24/7 and streaming worldwide - not because we flip a switch, but because your collective energy powers every signal we send out into the world. Sydney’s music, arts, and culture are growing every day, and by supporting fbi, you’re also shaping not just ours, but also the next generation's scene. The help we’ve received from the community allows us to continue building the infrastructure for what’s coming next. Without you, there is no community in community radio :) ★ Sydney's future starts with your decision today. Go to fbi.radio/support to become a regular supporter today ★

The heart of emerging music, arts and culture.

We are a radio station powered by a community of local broadcasters and creatives.

For over 20 years, we’ve been championing new local music, voices and stories. fbi.radio supporters are the reason why this station remains 100% independent. Without any regular or significant government funding, it’s the generosity of people like you who ensure our volunteers can make the best radio they can. It means that the music you don’t hear anywhere else has a home, the voices that are otherwise quiet are loud, and the stories usually lost are told. 

Listening to fbi.radio will always be free. Your support keeps it that way.

Benny, Guano C, and Ify stand in the fbi.radio music library. All three are looking at the camera, and Ify and Benny are smiling. Guano C looks fake confused. He stands in the middle with his arms over Ify and Benny's shoulders.
Ruby wears a Collarbones t shirt and pretends to play the DJ decks, Al sings into a pringles can. Both are wearing dark sunglasses in the FBi studio.
The three members of MUNA stand on the street outside fbi.radio with Tanya Ali. All four of them are facing the camera and smiling in dappled sunlight, with arms around each other's backs.
