1079 Life (callsign: 5RAM) is a Christian radio station in Adelaide, South Australia. 1079 Life broadcasts on the 107.9 MHz frequency.
History
1079 Life began broadcasting on October the 6th, 1993. But it was 20 years of preparation and planning before then that brought the dream into a reality.[1] The station began broadcasting under the name "Alta Mira FM". Later it was renamed "Life FM".
In September 2016, Life FM rebranded and changed its name to "1079 Life", dropping the FM in the title in recognition of the emergence of digital radio, not just the FM band.[2]
The station has been an incubator for local media talent in Adelaide, most notably Brenton Ragless and Kate Collins, who began with 1079 Life hosting the evening show. Both are now with the Nine Network on their prime time news show.[2]
Format
The station's motto is Life. Love. Adelaide.
Breakfast and Drive shows are both run as magazine programs with a sampling of the latest adult contemporary and Christian music breaking up the segments on news, opinion and lifestyle. There are also sport, music and talk programs throughout the week.
1079 Life won a SACBA award for Community Engagement in 2014.[3]
The station has won 3 SANFL Media Awards, "Best Commentary" in 2004 & 2008 and "Best Radio Interview" in 2007. 1079 Life also simulcasts Nine News from 6pm weeknights.
