About Muslim Community Radio
During the time period of Muslim’s Holy month Ramadan, the station started broadcasting on temporary license in 1995. Gradually, it started broadcasting every week in 1997. Hence, it receives a permanent FM broadcasting license on 24th May 2001. In 2011, the station’s association with Al-Ahbash made the Australian National Imams Council stop the renewal of this station’s license issue. The council was against the promotion of sectarian’s marginalizing views. But Australian Communication and Media Authority rejected the request and issued five years license to the station in 2011, against which many Islamic groups protested and criticized.
