The Croatian program has helped a lot of members of the Croatian community and being that it broadcasts till 3 am it helps lonely people keep in touch with the community.^{[citation needed]}

In March 2006 Ivica moved to 88.3fm frequency due to a few setbacks on the previous frequency. He joined Marica Chok on Croatian Voice Melbourne.
