Rock FM 91.9
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rock FM 91.9 is a small radio station in the suburb of Port Kennedy, located in Rockingham, Western Australia. The radio station broadcasts over a small radius of under 100 metres, depending on landforms in the area (example: open spaces). The limitations on Low Power Open Narrowcasting services in residential areas may cover an area within a 2 kilometre radius from the transmitter site, and thus the radio station does not apply to the Australian Communications and Media Authority guidelines for a license.

Rock FM 91.9 has been broadcasting in the local Rockingham community since 2001, when creator Matthew Layton wanted to send a voice to his local street and surrounds. The station commenced broadcasting in the suburb of Waikiki on December 24, 2001. By mentioning community announcements, the idea of a small street radio station became very successful. At the time, Matthew was 11 years old. Today Matthew Layton is 16 years old, and continues his passion for broadcasting a small radio station in the Port Kennedy community. The station broadcasts on 91.9 MHz on the FM frequency.
Matthew Layton, born on April 29, 1990 is the owner and DJ of Rock FM 91.9. Since commencing the radio station in 2001, Matthew has been the main operator of the radio station.
