Marcus Bekker / Station Engineer
Marcus Bekker
Marcus is one of a kind, which is kinda scary because he’s the only one who knows how everything connects, networks, transmits and “works” in general. His love of everything “radio” started as a kid when he first saw the little red STEREO lamp light up on his parents’ car radio.
Since then he’s spent a lot of time on high mountains in rain, snow and sunshine: climbing towers and stringing up antennas. Basically, when you tune to CFM, and your radio lights up with the sound of our station, that’s down to Marcus and his expertise. Conversely, if you tune to CFM and hear silence, or static, that’s down to Marcus too… so call him. When he’s not buried in cables, Marcus loves piloting his plane called Dixi (ZK-DXI) as shown in the pic here with Pauanui in the background. Give him a wave if you see DXI scooting around the Coromandel skies.

Rob cut his broadcasting teeth on community based, regional radio in Central Otago back in the 80s. After nearly two decades as a ‘nationwide’ announcer he's stoked to be back doing local radio.
Fabian is a local musician/teacher who has turned back to Radio after some time away. He has grown up on Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Queen and Billy Joel and often sings along to songs in the studio. Fabian is married to a wonderful woman with two beautiful children living right here in the Coromandel. His passions are playing and watching cricket, playing piano around the community and attending fun local events all around the Coromandel Peninsula. His dislikes include writing blurbs about himself and speaking in the 3rd person. Critics of Fabian say this could be viewed as ironic given his chosen career pathway… they might have a point there… maybe he should rethink… anyway! Listen in during the Breakfast show from 6am during the week where Fabian talks to locals like you! Right here on Coromandels CFM.
