About Life FM Bendigo

Life FM Bendigo

105.1 Life FM (call sign 3WTL) is a not-for-profit Christian community broadcaster in Bendigo, Victoria, on 105.1 FM. It began in 1984 under the name Central Victorian Gospel Radio Inc. — the official name of the mission still today — and is non-denominational, serving as the media arm for all churches in Bendigo that believe in Jesus Christ. Its website is life1051.org.au.

The Life FM story is inter-denominational gospel radio sustained entirely by volunteers: Central Victorian Gospel Radio was established on 23 September 1983 and incorporated in 1986, conducting many test transmissions before the station began in 1984. It is fully supported and operated by local Christian volunteers, committed to seeing people in Bendigo move closer to Jesus. In 2010 the ACMA allocated the permanent 105.1 frequency to Central Victoria Gospel Radio alongside Fresh FM's 101.5 and Phoenix FM's 106.7. Broadcasting from 137 Marong Road, Golden Square, its Christian rock and gospel programming serves as the media arm for all of Bendigo's churches that share the faith.
