About us

Coromandel's CFM is true local commercial radio. Not a network feed with a local sticker on it, but a station built from scratch in this community, for this community, over the past eight years. Five transmitter sites give full Peninsula coverage from Thames to Whangamata to Whitianga and everywhere between. The station has been surveyed number one in its market, has around 40,000 social media followers, and its website pulls in about 10,000 visits a week. During emergencies the Coromandel tunes to CFM for information.
