On air identification
Based in Shepparton, ONE FM 98.5 is considered to be one of the largest community radio stations in regional Australia. The radio station produces predominantly live local content to the Shepparton region.
The station has resumed the on-air use of its registered callsign, now identifying as "ONE FM 98.5". The change was made following local surveys (within Shepparton and surrounding areas) indicating the community generally referred to the radio station as "ONE FM" as opposed to the previously used frequency only identifier. The management opted to return the ONE FM brand to the station logos and promotional material and on-air.
