Stephen Wilkinson
Stephen has been involved in community broadcasting as a volunteer and employee in
Production, Technical and Board roles for over 30 years. During this time, he has helped many community stations across Australia with advice and installations.
In his early days he gained experience with his local 200W community station by upgrading STLs, transmitters and rebuilding studios.
He also has an audio engineering background in multichannel recording and mixing in studios and live to air multi-microphone productions, as well as mixing for Live sound reinforcement. Experience was also gained by assisting ABC Radio with outside broadcasts and live recordings including the Opera House and Sydney Town Hall.
He has a post graduate degree in Design Science (Audio) from Sydney University.
Stephen joined Hope Media in 2004 and shortly after became Technical Operations Manager overseeing the Production and Technical Departments. In his time at Hope Media (Hope 103.2, a metro FM station in Sydney, and Inspire Digital on DAB+), he has overseen and implemented a new transmission facility, a total refit of the studio facility to digital and continuous upgrades to IT infrastructure. He also currently oversees the Technical Operations of 96five in Brisbane, Salt 106.5 on the Sunshine Coast and Juice 107.3 on Gold Coast.
He has helped many community stations around Australia and earned the ‘Most Valuable Person in Christian Media’ Award in 2014 from CMAA.

Brian King
I’m a passionate technician and long time award winning member of Technorama, with a genuine love for community radio and everything audio/ visual.
This is my 38th continuous year as a volunteer at my local station.
I have served on the board of PVFM on 3 occasions, and hold the role of Technical Co Ordinator at that station, and hold Life membership.
I also am the head contract engineer for Radio 3ZZZ, and in the past have helped, and still help a number other stations around Victoria.
I hold formal qualifications in electrical and electronics, and this has led me over the years to be contracted to build studios and transmitter sites not only for community stations, but also commercial radio.
I did for a number of years engineer football outside broadcasts for both 3AW and SEN, and have engineered hundreds of Outside Broadcasts for community radio stations (including live CRN events). I have also taught the CMTO pathways OB course and Technical for Non Technical for some stations.
When not playing radio, these days, I can be seen occasionally playing piano / keyboards in tribute shows as a Musical Director. Playing live music has always been my other passion
