Subscriber Benefits

Subscribers, first of all, benefit from knowing they are a vital part of a unique family of community radio stations (4MBS ClassicFM, MBS Light & Silver Memories) broadcasting classical music, jazz, operetta, musicals, comedy & nostalgia, from Brisbane, in south-east Queensland, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.

For many people, being able to chose when it comes to listening to good music is well worth not only becoming a Subscriber but also renewing year after year.

Annual Subscriptions

To cater for as many of our listeners as possible while, at the same time, offering Subscribers a number of levels of support they may wish to give to 4MBS, five annual subscription levels are available.

Category Description Subscription Amount Tax Deductable Component
Platinum The highest level of annual Subscription. It's designed for the music lover who wants to make a higher contribution than the Maestro level but on an on-going annual basis rather than becoming a Life Subscriber $1,100 $1,023
Gold Designed for the music lover wishing to make an added contribution to the broadcasting of fine music $330 $253
Silver Also allows the Subscriber to make an added contribution to the running of our three unique radio services $110 $33
Standard The most common Subscription level which works out to less than the cost of a Sunday newspaper each week $77 Nil
Seniors The level which acknowledges the valuable support of senior members of the listening community $70 Nil
Concession This level, very popular with pensioners & full time students, is around a dollar a week $55 Nil

Life Subscription

Many supporters have demonstrated their commitment to assisting our three community stations to remain on the air long into the future by becoming Life Subscribers with a number of those supporters taking out life subscriptions for children, grandchildren or other, younger family members. The purchaser of such a Subscription also receives the benefit of a substantial tax deductability component.

Description Cost Tax Deductable Component
