50 NATIONS - ... ever wondered what it means to run a radio station? |

Well, ... imagine 50 people
of different cultural backgrounds who speak 50 different languages,
have 50 different hues of skin colour and physical features, together
in a room and all talking about the same thing from 50 different
perspectives and you will have a glimpse of how exciting the world
of 2000FM is.
The broadcasting environment is full of traditions, customs from all over the world, which forged a culture bound together by curiosity, tolerance and respect for each other. We all have a high degree of respect and appreciation for the Indigenous people of Australia and Australia of to-day as well as for the opportunity to be part of a multicultural nation by design not by accident. We look at the world around us and laugh together; we mourn the victims of atrocities and suffering in their struggle for basic human rights and freedom all around us. The social cohesion of the culturally diverse society we have forged in Australia is uniquely ours, and a contrast to what has gone wrong with multiculturalism everywhere else in the world. Australia of to-day is futuristic in its social dimension. We excel in the power of language, the greatest of human discovery and invention. We cherish the power of radio to enrich people's lives through information and education, for it remains the most convenient form of communication humans ever devised. Such a beautiful tool in the wrong hands creates disasters but in the hands of those who love to be of service to their community, it has become a source of life and encouragement. There are more than 300 volunteer broadcasters in 2000FM. This is a service dedicated to enriching the cohesion of our diversity via tolerance, understanding and respect for each other. A service for all nationalities with people as its key element; the noble objective of 2000FM.
