You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''4MBS Classic FM''' is an Australian [[community radio]] station which broadcasts classical music from [[Brisbane]] at a frequency of [[103.7]]&nbsp;MHz, as well as on [[Digital radio in Australia|digital radio]] and [[Internet radio|online]].

==Operations==
Its operations are conducted by about 300 volunteers and a small number of paid staff. Operational funding is principally derived from commercial sponsorship, listener subscriptions, a ticketing service, occasional sales of second-hand LPs, and an annual classical music festival.

4MBS Classic FM has a loose affiliation with a number of similar independently owned and operated stations in other parts of Australia, including [[2MBS]] Sydney, [[3MBS]] Melbourne, [[5MBS]] Adelaide and [[ArtSound FM]] Canberra.

==History==
The station first went to air on 1 March 1979 at 10.30am from a small area rented from the [[Queensland University of Technology]]'s [[Kelvin Grove, Queensland|Kelvin Grove]] campus with Handel's ''[[Ode for St. Cecilia's Day (Handel)|Ode for St. Cecilia's Day]]''.<ref>[http://4mbs.com.au/looking-back "Looking Back – First 25 Years"] ((Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304000822/http://4mbs.com.au/looking-back |date=4 March 2016 )), 4MBS</ref> In 1994 it was moved to a large house in the suburb of [[Coorparoo]]. In later years, a 70-seat performance studio was built next to the house. The transmitter is located on [[Mount Coot-tha, Queensland|Mount Coot-tha]].<ref>[http://www.acma.gov.au/postcode/results_callsign.asp?pc=4000&la=504&cs=4MBS "Transmitters for broadcaster 4MBS"] ((Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303213329/http://www.acma.gov.au/postcode/results_callsign.asp?pc=4000&la=504&cs=4MBS |date=3 March 2016 )), ACMA</ref>

In the early 1990s it became home to Australia's only archive of original recordings by women composers, donated by the [[International League of Women Composers]] in New York.((citation needed|date=September 2015))

==Key programs==
4MBS broadcasts a weekly program titled ''Music Lover's Choice'' with announcer Howard Ainsworth, which previously aired since 1967 on the [[Australian Broadcasting Corporation]].<ref>[http://4mbs.com.au/4mbs-classical-music-presenters "The 4MBS Classical Music Presenters"] ((Webarchive|url=https://archive.today/20140804233458/http://4mbs.com.au/4mbs-classical-music-presenters |date=4 August 2014 )), 4MBS</ref>

In addition to its FM program of classical music, 4MBS broadcasts since May 2011 on the [[Digital audio broadcasting|digital spectrum]] as MBS Light a selection of lighter classics, crossover music, musical theatre, jazz, and similar.

The Silver Memory Service broadcasts to custom designed receivers a program of music from the thirties and forties and music from screen and stage.

==4MBS Festival of Classics==
Since 1994, the station has staged the annual 4MBS Festival of Classics, which consists of concerts and other classical music related events that take place around Brisbane, featuring predominantly local artists. It is now Australia's largest classical music festival.

==Awards==
In 2004, 4MBS Classic FM was named Radio Station of the Year by the [[Community Broadcasting Association of Australia]].
