i98 fm provides a variety of services for the Illawarra and surrounding regions. It provides updates in current affairs, traffic reports, surf reports, ski reports and weather forecasts while also providing the most widely listened to mainstream music hours after hour. Apart from in the news room and recording studio, there are many other ways in which the station provides services for the community, this includes service fundraisers such as ‘jump for wishes’ and the ‘truck convoy for kids’ which have amazing success rates with the truck convoy raising over $180,000 last year alone, with all of it going directly to the kids with cancer organisation.

i98 fm is a homogenous work environment, especially in terms of characteristics of it’s employees. All employees are extraverted, kind, welcoming, worldly, excitable, fun, skilled at networking, highly intelligent crafters of speech, follow a structured work routine – thus enabling them to remain relaxed and relatively laid back. They know who they are and what their skills are, naturally some people are stronger in some aspects of my list over others, however they manage to turn their ‘weaknesses’ into strengths or trademarks – for instance Maje is a very extroverted man, he has a strong character and personality and he is aware of this so he uses his fresh and blunt thoughts to give shape to his segment on the show in the afternoons.
