Community broadcasting, cycling advocate. I also like puppies. CEO @cbfgrants, Board member @Bicycle_Network, views are mine

[Jo Curtin @jojocurtin]

How’s the timing! Thanks @sallycapp for your kindness when I was juggling that! She’s ok and back to sleep now. Fingers crossed. Poor poppet.

Separated bike lanes give me confidence to ride in the city. But the Future Melbourne Committee is considering pausing their rollout.

There's still time to make a submission to encourage them to NOT pause the rollout of separated bike lanes. Link below.

There's a bike lane emergency in Melbourne and we need you at Melbourne Town Hall tomorrow evening. Hear from our CEO Craig Richards.

The team at @Monash_Arts will help us gain a deeper understanding of the positive cultural, social and economic contribution of music radio. Proud to partner on this project and contribute funding support via @CBFgrants

[Monash Arts @Monash_Arts]

Community engagement runs deep in the DNA of community media. What does it look like in the context of COVID? And how can @CBFgrants support you to engage your community? #grants #community #communityradio #communitymedia https://t.co/nHu1MoMyE3

[Jo Curtin @jojocurtin]

Congrats @44adelaide & @C31Melbourne on these awesome audience figures!

Community TV continues to contribute to the diversity of authentic, independent voices and faces on Australian TV, and in turn, reflects our many vibrant cultures and strengthens our democracy and society.

[Channel 31 @C31Melbourne]

According to official OzTam rating, 625,000 Australians tuned in to Community TV across Australia in December 2020.

Even during the holiday season, the demand for local CTV content, entertainment & information remained constant.

Do young men lean out their car windows and shout stuff like "get a car" (and other more gross stuff) to men on bikes or is it just at women? Asking for a friend.

[Jo Curtin @jojocurtin]

I'm raising funds to support artists and music workers. They need our help more than ever this year. Support Act also extended their help line to community broadcasters impacted by COVID-19. Champions. Throw 'em a bone if you can? https://t.co/pUB0HHf0tp #ausmusictshirtday

[Jo Curtin @jojocurtin]

Yes, we need media reform, but we also need to support community radio to thrive for the future of media to serve all Australians in this country.

[Jo Curtin @jojocurtin]

Media diversity is critical to our culture, wellbeing and democracy.

And, as we saw with last summer’s bushfires, they are also tuning in for critical local emergency information that isn’t available elsewhere.

[Jo Curtin @jojocurtin]

Young people gain valuable exposure to the world of work by participating in community media. Lots of amazing community partnerships happening with schools and local #communityradio

Charities - including community radio - are more important than ever. But to stay sustainable we need to #fixfundraising.

Looking forward to participating in the fully virtual @technorama_aus conference tomorrow - looks like an excellent program of speakers. I'll be giving a bit of a wrap of how @CBFgrants has been helping stations during COVID. It's not too late to register: https://t.co/QubDBe69Vl

@trentontheradio Thanks Trent! See you (virtually) at Technorama next weekend?
