Based in a building that in previous incarnations has been the town's bakery and even the town jail, the station was established in 1994.
With studios in Walwa, Corryong and Tumbarumba, the station is able to broadcast throughout the Upper Murray region.
And for Anne Brett, that can only be a good thing when it comes to promoting Walwa.
"People aren't coming in to Walwa, they're leaving by funeral hearse.
"But we broadcast to Corryong and Tumbarumba, places which have a younger population, and we're hoping to encourage more people to come," she said.
"But we're also letting people in the community know what's going on around them in their community."
Anne has been part of the community radio station for the past year.
"It's the first time I've been involved in radio and it's not something I thought I'd ever end up doing, that's for sure," she said.
"The first time you're on is absolutely terrifying, especially if you're not computer literate."
Anne reads on a program for the print handicapped.
"I always read Pulse in The Border Mail," she said.
"I always read Mick McGlone's email of the week, it's one of the things I go to straight away."
But she also has guest slots and last week interviewed a dog.
"He's incredibly well trained ... He can do one bark for 'yes' and two for 'no' and tell you how old he is."
The station also relays SES warnings.
Back in the 1990s radio presenters were also regulars at football games, providing live radio commentary.
However, the locals say that by the end of the seconds and the start of the seniors games they could be a bit worse for wear.
Anne says the station has recently started outside broadcasts again and has received a grant from the Towong Shire to buy more equipment.
"We do want to do more things but you don't just need electrical equipment, you need the people willing to do it," Anne said.
