Rhema FM returns after flood damage

Flooding damaged the station's transmitter, which will be replaced in a few weeks but is broadcasting at around 20 per cent power. 

Chief executive John Marks said the station's staff were keen to begin broadcasting after the tragedy, which claimed the Stroud home of announcer Shayne Holstein. 

“Now that we are back on air, although at a lower signal power, we will be able to contribute to the relief efforts through awareness," he said.

Rhema FM has been broacasting since 1985.
