Our shows, from Breakfast to Nights and across the weekend, run on a simple premise – entertain and inform. Although i98FM is in itself a media outlet and part of a greater media resource, we also utilise traditional and digital media to further connect with our audience and ensure our brand reaches far and wide. A cross section of mediums we use to support i98FM’s messaging include WIN Television – Facebook – Instagram – streaming  and the i98FM APP.

Tourism Shellharbour

Isha Knill

Our world is changing faster than we can keep up.  Pressure on families to stay financially viable, raise happy kids and still somehow remain happy parents is overwhelming, particularly for Mothers. Many families are still stuck in an old family model where women carry a large chunk of the family responsibility but with both parent’s working, this model is no longer sustainable. It’s no-one’s fault, our thinking just hasn’t caught up with the new world that is forming.  If we want to instill the values that matter most and manage the outside influences that come into our homes, we need to adapt to this new world which means the way we ‘family’ needs to change.  Isha helps parent’s, particularly working Mother’s adapt to the new world but still retain the old-fashioned values that build happy resilient, resourceful kids fit for a continually changing future.
