104.1 Territory FM is one of Australia's most popular and the Northern Territory's premier community radio station[1]. Territory FM is "powered by music" - broadcasting a broad range of adult contemporary music from the campus of Charles Darwin University in Darwin, NT[2]. News is provided by the BBC between 5:30am and 6am[3] and then every hour until 6pm by Australian Independent Radio (AIR) News.
The station is broadcast on 104.1 Darwin and Palmerston and 98.7 Alice Springs and can also be heard across the Northern Territory in Batchelor, Katherine / Tindal, Tennant Creek, Nhulunbuy and Adelaide River[4].

[edit] Listenership
A recent survey commissioned by Roy Morgan research showed that 23% of Darwin and Palmerston residents listen to Territory FM. Territory FM is the most listened to station in Darwin between 12pm and 6pm with 27% of Territory FM listeners aged between 35 and 54 years of age.[1]
[edit] Licensing breach
On 19 August 2008 the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) released a radio investigation report on Territory FM (8TOP) after receiving complaints. ACMA found that 8TOP had failed to adequately encourage the community to participate in the station's operations and had also broadcast advertisements (untagged sponsorship announcements) in August and September 2007. However ACMA was "satisfied that its non-compliance arose from a misunderstanding." According to the report, two of the three complaints received alleged that 8TOP was "failing to represent its community interest in line with its licence conditions." However, the investigation found that the requirements were being satisfied. The station agreed "not to repeat the breaches,"[5] and ACMA renewed the station's licence for five years.[6]
