Mingaletta gets radio timeslot

The Mingaletta Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Corporation has been invited to deliver a regular weekly radio broadcast on a local radio station.

The Peninsula community organisation will broadcast a 45-minute program every Monday from 11.15am on Coast FM 96.3.

Aboriginal community development officer Mr Mark Hayward said the regular broadcast on local radio was a great opportunity for the small organisation to reach a wider audience.

"Our local community radio station Coast FM, via announcer Fiona Grieves, has invited Mingaletta to deliver a regular radio spot," Mr Hayward said.

"This is a fantastic chance to connect with and highlight the Peninsula community, businesses and programs that support the area.

"We will also discuss culture, heritage and promote Aboriginal groups, events, organisations and agencies that Mingaletta has associations with.

"Fiona will even spin a few songs that our Aboriginal community can enjoy.

"I will have special guests on to tell their story or talk about related programs that benefit the Aboriginal community as a whole.

"Even members of the community are invited to participate and tell their story or highlight up and coming events.

"If it's Aboriginal news or associated with the Peninsula community give me a call and we'll find a time for you to have your 15 minutes of fame."
