The RTRFM Fresh Blast program, supported by Healthway, sponsors CD launches for Western Australian bands or solo performers who are willing to stage their launch in a smoke-free environment and promote the Alcohol. Think Again message.

RTRFM’s Fresh Blast Program provides over $2,000 worth of sponsorship towards your CD launch, including:

• A radio promotion package (30 Sponsorship Announcements) to help promote the CD launch.
• A half-page advertisement in X-Press Magazine
• Up to $250 for any costs associated with the gig, e.g. venue hire, P.A. Hire, payment to support bands, printing of posters and flyers, decorations, sound and lighting crew, etc.
• A radio promotion package (20 Sponsorship Announcements) to help promote the CD after the launch.
• A RTRFM Presenter or someone of your choice to MC the evening.

The Sponsorship Announcements won’t promote a gig but the actual CD and encourage people to buy it. This promotion will start shortly after the CD launch.

A strong applicant needs to have a confirmed date at a venue (that does not already receive Healthway funding), with a CD ready to be launched and put into shops for sale. Furthermore to show that they are willing to promote the “Alcohol Think Again” and “Don’t Drink and Drive” messages and have disclosed to their venue that have applied for Fresh Blast sponsorship.

The Fresh Blast Program is complete for this year. RTRFM are looking to expand the program in 2012. Keep it locked and posted for possible changes
