Swiss Radio has a long history of broadcasting its programs in two languages, French and German. old reel As far back as 1980 it started on Radio 6NR 927 on the AM band.

At that time all the programs had to be pre-recorded on reels and handed in to an office at Kingsley Park.

Chur, in the south eastern area of Switzerland

Around 1986 Swiss Radio changed to live broadcasts with the help of a desk operator provided by Radio 6NR, and then from December 1988, it included a news broadcast with all the latest information direct from Switzerland, and had its own technician for the live broadcasts.

In 1990 all ethnic programming was taken off the air by 6NR, which gave it the chance to change over to the newly established Radio 6EBAFM World Radio, broadcasting on 95.3 MHz on the FM band. At the beginning of December 1990, most of the ethnic groups that were members of the Multicultural Radio and Television Association (MRTA) started to broadcast their programs from the studios at View Street in North Perth.

Around 1993 the MRTA purchased a unit at 386 Fitzgerald Street in North Perth and from then on, not only did the quality of the programs improve, but it also had a total of three studios available for live broadcasting or pre-recording of programs, equipped with phone talk-back lines, and at a later stage the internet was made available as well.

Since its early beginnings Swiss Radio has been going to air regularly on Tuesday evenings.

During 1995 Swiss Radio received an offer to broadcast an hour each week which was accepted by our main sponsor, the Swiss Club of Western Australia, and since then we have been broadcasting every Tuesday from 19'00 to 20'00h .........

On 22 of March 2009 the Swiss Club decided not to support the Swiss Radio anymore.
