In September/October 1993 Radio Vaal broadcasted live from the Vaal show grounds for 3 weeks on a temporary broadcasting license. The purpose of this broadcast was to test the water to see how effective a radio station in the Vaal Triangle would be. The results are clear.Since October 1993 the brains behind the station worked on a continuous basis to secure a permanent radio station for the Vaal Triangle.A broadcasting license was granted in April 1995 and 90.6FM was born and subsequently started broadcasting on the 1st of August 1995.We are a community radio station which sells advertising to sustain itself and all profits are ploughed back into the community via charities.90.6FM is controlled by a board of directors, elected from their members. Members are people representing institutions in the Vaal Triangle with the community at heart. We service all major towns in the Vaal Triangle with a radius from Vereeniging +- 65km.
