Heritage FM now online ...
tune into HeritageFM and you can connect online to hear their local broadcasts
and some HertiageFM history ...
After months of hard work and planning the then 93.7 Heritage FM began broadcasting on Australia Day 1998 from studios in the Orchard Avenue, Armadale. In the lead up to this historic occasion a small group lead by then Mayor of Armadale, Councillor Spike Fokkema worked hard to establish a broadcasting facility that the community could be proud of. The opening day's broadcast began at 10.00am - 96FM’s Darren DeMello hosted the first hour on-air - featuring Australian music in the lead up to a simulcast of the City of Armadale's Australia Day Skyshow, these simulcasts continued on the station over the next few years.
For the first few months on air the station was only able to broadcast from 4pm Fridays to 11pm Sundays however in July 1998 Heritage FM was granted a licence to broadcast 24 hours a day.
Throughout 1998 more and more locally produced programs were added to the schedule. In 1999 the station applied for and received a grant to purchase new studio equipment and this was installed into a new larger studio during early 2000. In 2002 the station moved to the current studios in Mills Road, Gosnells and in mid 2002, the station changed to the current 107.3 frequency.
Special mention must be made of the following people for their hard work and tireless dedication to the station over the years - they include, Spike Fokema, Martin Jansen, Henry Zelones, Anne and Henk Heuvink, Susan Iwanyk, Ryan Honschooten, Brett Tizard, Rosalie Powers, Phil Youd, Fiona Williams, Eric t'Hart, Neil Haring and many others. We would like to encourage anyone who was involved in establishing the station and has a story to tell to contact us so we can add your name and information to our History Page. Photographs of events and copies of news clippings and memorabilia would also be appreciated.
To be continued …
If you would like to get involved in the exciting and ongoing future of 107.3 Heritage FM please contact Robyn at the station on (08) 9398 3100.

Thornlie lights up for Christmas cheer
as posted on PerthNow
CONSULATE Court in Thornlie is one of Perth's most spectacular streets during Christmas - now it could become one of the most charitable, too.
Ten of the 13 houses on the street have joined in an annual Christmas lights display for the past 15 years.
Residents are also taking gold coin donations for Princess Margaret Hospital and non-perishable food items for Anglicare WA.
The concept began three years ago when resident Kathy Sharp noticed visitors ``actually asking if they could make a donation''.
"We have thousands of people come up each year, so I contacted the Make-a-Wish Foundation and got a `wishing well' for collections.''
The street has in the past raised $3500 for Make-a-Wish and $3400 for PMH.
Ms Sharp believes the street will surpass this this year.
"Local people will come up prepared with coins or a food donation, and when others have seen that they've jumped out and put money in the tin,'' Ms Sharp said.
A collection point is at 11 Consulate Court, Thornlie.

Man arrested after alleged abduction, car chase
as posted on ABC720
A man is in custody in Western Australia after allegedly abducting a woman and crashing a car on Albany Highway in Cannington following a high-speed police chase.
The pursuit came after an earlier incident in Thornlie where three cars were involved in a minor collision.
Inspector Mike Valentine says police believe the man was attempting to stop a car in which the woman was in and he then forced her from one vehicle into another.
He says the woman is thought to know the man.
"We now have the driver in custody and there was a young woman in the vehicle, who we believe may have been the victim of the abduction, and we've taken her to hospital at this stage," he said.
Police will continue their inquiries.

Man quizzed over chase
as posted on TheWest
A 25-year-old Huntingdale man will appear in court today after crashing the car he was driving during a high-speed chase through Perth’s southern suburbs.
At 11pm last night police tried to stop a Holden Commodore on Caulfield Street, Thornlie.
The driver accelerated and reached 140km/h while attempting to evade police.
When the driver reached Spencer Road and attemptedto turn onto Nicholson Road in Ferndale he lost control of his car, which rode a median strip and ploughed through a give-way sign before sliding across the intersection and cannoning into a taxi.
The taxi driver and passenger were unharmed.
The driver of the Commodore and his male passenger were taken into custody, and the 25-year-old was treated at Royal Perth Hospital for a dislocated ankle and several lower leg fractures.
