We’re excited that Vision is about to take another big leap forward in our dream to see God’s Word reach every corner of Australia through media.

Two years ago, we had the opportunity to secure our first city-wide radio station in Hobart, Tasmania.

And now, it’s happening again, but this time in Brisbane, Australia’s third largest city, ten times the size of Hobart, with two and half million souls. It’s also an opportunity to launch a brand new era for Vision on DAB+ Digital Radio, which is now well-established in every major Australian city.

Like every great journey, Vision’s expansion in Brisbane and our move into DAB+ digital radio is beginning with a single step. It’s not every day that we get to be part of significant things like this, so, if you have a heart to see Vision keep growing, we’re inviting you to consider the part you could play to help secure this gospel opportunity in Australia’s third largest city.

The great news is that both Vision Christian Radio and our music channel V180 will be heard across Brisbane on DAB+ digital radio, starting with an initial four month trial commencing in April.

But we don’t want Vision to just be there for a short trial period – we’re in this for the long term, and to do that, we need to raise some funds for this special project.

If you’d like to be part of securing this exciting new opportunity just donate on the button below or contact us on 1800 007 770.

FAQs

What is DAB+ radio?

DAB+ Radio is an advanced digital radio technology that allows broadcasters to offer their popular analogue stations in digital quality. It is a cost-effective and spectrum-efficient technology that offers superior sound quality and more space for additional radio stations. With DAB+ Radio, you can enjoy crystal-clear audio without any interference or static. Click here for more information on DAB+ radio.

How does DAB+ radio work?

DAB+ Radio works by transmitting digital radio signals instead of analog signals used in traditional FM or AM radio. These signals are compressed into smaller packets, allowing more information to be transmitted over the airwaves. This means that broadcasters can offer more radio stations at a better audio quality than FM or AM.

DAB+ Radios automatically tune into available radio stations, and information such as song titles, artist names, and news headlines are displayed on the screen. Some models even allow you to pause, rewind or record live broadcasts.   

Who can listen?

Anyone with a receiver, including in most new cars. Almost one in five Aussies now listen to DAB+ radio on a weekly basis. 

I don’t have a DAB+ receiver! Where do I get one from?

Why start in Brisbane?

That’s where the door has opened—but it marks the start of a whole new chapter for Vision.

• Australia’s third-largest city (2 ¹⁄₂ million souls)
• Major cultural & business hub
• Very diverse population
• Will host the 2032 Olympics
• Home to Vision’s HQ

Will Vision keep the existing radio network?

Absolutely! We continue to roll out more stations across the country. DAB+ is just a new way of that happening.  

How can I help?

Our minimum outlay for setup, launch and ongoing access will be over $1 million. Vision has negotiated a trial period to give us time to raise this amount to give us certainty to go ahead with a long term commitment. If you are in a position to make a special gift to help us secure this first important step in our DAB+ journey we would love to have your support.
