Federal Bureau of Investigation

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is the domestic intelligence and security service of the United States, which simultaneously serves as the nation's prime Federal law enforcement organization. Operating under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of Justice, FBI is concurrently a member of the U.S. Intelligence Community and reports to both the Attorney General and the Director of National Intelligence. A leading U.S. counterterrorism, counterintelligence, and criminal investigative organization, FBI has jurisdiction over violations of more than 200 categories of federal crimes.

Although many of FBI's functions are unique, its activities in support of national security are comparable to those of the British MI5 and the Russian FSB. Unlike the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), which has no law enforcement authority and is focused on intelligence collection overseas, FBI is primarily a domestic agency, maintaining 56 field offices in major cities throughout the United States, and more than 400 resident agencies in lesser cities and areas across the nation. At an FBI field office, a senior-level FBI officer concurrently serves as the representative of the Director of National Intelligence.

FBi Radio

FBi (call sign: 2FBI) station is an independent, not-for-profit community radio in Sydney, Australia. FBi places a heavy emphasis on local alternative music: it has a policy that at least 50 per cent of its music content is to be Australian, of which at least half comes from Sydney musicians.

FBi began 'test broadcasting' as an 'aspirant broadcaster' in 1995 following the then-Keating government's decision to allocate the last three FM licences in Sydney. The election of John Howard delayed the process as the coalition government focussed on radio licences for country towns. After making a series of short-term broadcasts over eight years, FBi Radio beat 16 other aspirant broadcasters to be granted a permanent licence by the Australian Broadcasting Authority in 2002.

Popular dance / hip hop aspirant station DEX FM were unsuccessful and FBi President Cassandra Wilkinson invited DEX founder George Crones to join the FBi board and merge the two stations.

A failed takeover attempt by one of the losing bidders for the permanent licence, Wild FM (a more commercially oriented dance music station) pushed FBi's full-time 24/7 broadcast to August 2003.

Fresh 92.7

Fresh 92.7 (call sign: 5FBI) is a not-for-profit community radio station based in Adelaide, Australia broadcasting at a frequency of 92.7 MHz. The station, whose General Manager is Troy Sincock, is designed for the young people of Adelaide, and its fundamental operating principle is to "promote all genres and age categories of youth music and to expose new genres and forms of music that the youth of Adelaide enjoy." The station has a reputation for playing a lot of electronic dance and house as well as hosting programs on various social issues. On air the station is referred as "Fresh 92-7". In October 2010, Fresh moved into new, state-of-the-art, digital studios in Adelaide's fashionable East End.

History

Plans for Fresh 92.7 were laid when three young people were visiting Melbourne in January 1997 and heard a youth radio station there (Hitz FM) and agreed that Adelaide could benefit from a similar broadcasting concept. They formed a non-profit association and charter, and assembled a team of volunteers, including members with experience in various broadcasting professions. Many of these volunteers originally used to run specialist dance music shows on the radio station Coast FM 88.7 and moved over to Fresh FM after its founding.
