The policy of CMS is to encourage all languages to broadcast for at least an hour each week, providing time on an equitable basis. Programming priorities include youth, women and emerging communities.CMS Mission http://www.cmsradio.org.au/ 2006 9 July 2008 (CMS Radio) History The EBC (Ethnic Broadcasters Council) as it was then called, started broadcasting by purchasing airtime on community station 2XX. Up to 25 language groups were broadcasting for half an hour each per week during the 1980s. Discontent in the early 1990s saw the EBC and 2XX sever ties with each other. EBC were off the air until August 1992 when they were able to apply for their own test broadcast licence. EBC were back on air on Tuesdays and Fridays using the facilities of ArtSound FM. In 1999 the EBC received a full-time test licence to broadcast on 103.5 FM. Soon after the on air identity was changed to Canberra Multicultural Service and the frequency moved to the present 91.1 FM. Then an application for a full broadcasting licence was applied for. This was granted on 15 June 2001.CMS History http://www.cmsradio.org.au/about_us/history.shtml 19 April 2008 9 July 2008 Werner Albrecht (CMS Radio) https://web.archive.org/web/20080718193933/http://www.cmsradio.org.au/about_us/history.shtml 18 July 2008 dead Current FM 91.1 CMS now has programming in around 30 languages.
