Power FM (ACMA call sign: 5EZY) is a Hot Adult Contemporary (Hot AC)-formatted commercial radio station based in Murray Bridge, South Australia. Broadcasting on 98.7 MHz, the station has repeaters at Victor Harbor on 99.7 MHz and in the Adelaide Hills on 100.3 MHz.[1]
The station launched on the 12th of May 2000[2] with the South Coast and Adelaide Hills repeater licenses being granted on the 7th of March 2002[3] and 21st of October 2005[4] respectively.
In November 2021, Power FM, along with other stations owned by Grant Broadcasters, were acquired by the Australian Radio Network. This deal will allow Grant's stations, including Power FM, to access ARN's iHeartRadio platform in regional areas. The deal was finalized on 4 January 2022.[5] It is expected the Power FM SA stations will integrate with ARN's KIIS Network, but will retain their current name according to the press release from ARN.
