There is a current, prominent “Blackball FM 106.8” community-based radio station active from the Blackball Community Centre. These types of stations often serve very localised areas and might not be widely broadcast or have a significant online presence compared to national or regional commercial stations.
The historical presence of such a station adds to the unique character and community spirit of Blackball.
If you’re interested in whether there are any current local broadcasts, your best bet would be to:
- Contact the Blackball Community Centre directly
- (Phone: 027 378 9520, Email: [email protected])
- Inquire with long-time Blackball residents – they will have the best knowledge of local community initiatives and past projects like a local radio station.
