River 949 splash the cash

Last week the Ipswich Council handed down its budget, which revealed that rates would increase by 4%.

Based on the average ratepayer, Ipswich residents will be out of pocket around $1.30 per week. Outrageous.

That's where River 949 came to the rescue with a fun, 'seize the moment', topical idea.

The River 949 Breakfast show "Marnie & Mike" decided to give away cold hard cash. Every listener who went to air on the show for a day was presented with $1.30.

And like any big cash giveaway, there were winners promos running all day. Hear the promo below:
