PBS has been getting lots of enquiries about the journey to our new home, so it's time for another update on the PBS move to Collingwood Yards. It's been a long process, made longer by – you guessed it – COVID.
We have managed to raise around 80% of the ever expanding budget (thanks again COVID) of $2.2 million. Thank you to everyone who has donated so far. It’s going to be amazing, and we can't wait to be broadcasting from the new premises by the end of the year, but we are still asking for those who love the station to help us Make It Home.
You can get behind PBS by making a tax-deductible donation to our Make It Home appeal by clicking here, or calling 8415 1067. Every donation will help, and below are some suggested levels of support.

PBS HQ
"PBS is unlike any other radio station, so any support you can provide for them will have great impact in the community for hundreds, if not thousands of local musicians and the wider music-loving community." Kylie Auldist, musician and PBS member
"Moving premises is not something most people look forward to. Fortunately, PBS hasn't had to move very often in the 40 years of my involvement with the station. This next move promises to be our most exciting. We have faced many challenges in the past and are grateful for the support we have received from our members in dealing with them. It is to be hoped that our members will once again support us as we enter this new chapter of our journey." David Heard, Acid Country
