Dear ICASA,
We the undersigned are imploring you to expand Whale Coast FM's broadcasting region. When one travels, like one does, it would be nice to pick up 96FM not only in but also beyond the borders of Hermanus.
In some suburbs like Voelklip, people can't pick up a signal at all. Please grant 96FM dedicated bandwidth with a broader broadcasting spectrum so that we can listen to the Rhythm of the Overstrand in all the regions of the Overberg.
Cut off date for this petition is Thursday 13 July
Thank you.

I can't pick up signal at all and my neighbour Amalia Ghio get a loud thumping sound when she tunes in so has given up.
Please allow the increase request in order that our Guests (conservatively some 5 400 people per year for just 1 accommodation establishment) can listen as they tour our beautiful region!
Oh yes, please ICASA. WhaleCoastFM is me, my family and friend's favourite radio station and I would love for it to be available to even Worcester, Somerset West, Cape Town International, Bredasdorp, Swellendam, Riviersonderend and a much wider region in general. My elderly family is in Greyton and they are so dissappointed for not being able to hear us on their radio. A radio station is a wonderful way of keeping contact and send messages to our loved ones. We discuss music and programmes and when I say: "have you heard Heidi playing that old song this morning...."..just to realise they were not able to tune in.
When staying in CT, visiting family, I would love to be able to keep up with the news in my home town (Sandbaai).
Having seen firsthand the value the station brings to the Overstrand and its many listeners, I have no doubt that the benefits felt could serve the greater Overberg region in much the same way.
Yes please to this!
Please expand broadcasting region Lorraine Fourie Franskraal

I work from home and can't get signal at all in Voelklip, very frustrating as Whale Coast is one of my favourites and since my business is all about Hermanus it would be nice to be tuned into my local radio station. Please expand Whale Coast FM's broadcasting region and give them dedicated bandwidth.
