Rob has finger on The Pulse

While Rob Cameron is now a veteran radio presenter, he is passionate about newcomers taking on the role.

Cameron is well known throughout the region for his Front Page show on community radio station 94.7 The Pulse and is excited about the influx of new talent at the station where more than 20 people a year undertake the Intro to Broadcasting course.

Rob makes a point of inviting the new graduates onto his show to get a feel for the way it works and he is particularly proud of Georgia Kostadinoff and her interview last week with Liam Hair on living with autism.

“It is so important,” Cameron said.

“These are stories that need to be told. They inspire others and it fills me with pride to listen to it.”

From July 2025, The Pulse has operated as an independent incorporated association, staffed overwhelmingly by volunteers, and is facing new challenges.

A week-long Pulse Radiothon from 10 to 16 November is aiming to increase funding for the station and raise awareness of community radio and will begin with a party in the studios at 68-70 Little Ryrie Street on Friday 7 November with live music from Mt Pleasant, Stonni and Karyn Bourne. The party is free for subscribers or $20 for nonsubscribers.

“I love listening to people and am excited about the magic of why community radio works,” Cameron said.

“Our purpose is to guide the next generation.”
