3Cr Annual Report 2007 2006 $$ S EED S O F DISSENT Melb ou rn e ’s in d e p e nd en t v oice since 1976 3CR philosophy 3CR is a dynamic community hub that has produced radio for over 30 years. Around 400 volunteer programmers present more than 130 programs that go to air each week. The station broadcasts in approximately 20 languages including English, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Listeners can tune in, stream live through the web or download podcasts of our shows. Many 3CR broadcasters are community activists and therefore uniquely placed to present alternative current affairs, news and views. The station stages a number of special broadcasts annually to promote human rights issues including Indigenous, women’s and worker’s rights. 3CR provides programming of interest to a broad general audience and to specific interest groups. We actively discriminate in favour of Australian artists and composers, and play at least 55% Australian music. Groups broadcasting on 3CR cover the areas of social justice, the environment, ethnic communities, the arts and music, and trade unions. When major social justice events are happening in WHY 3cr? Melbourne – such as strikes, rallies and demonstrations – 3CR is usually the first place social justice activists and supporters tune in to.

  • Music on PBS: a History of Music Programming at a Community Radio Station
    Music on PBS: A History of Music Programming at a Community Radio Station Rochelle Lade (BArts Monash, MArts RMIT) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy January 2021 Abstract This historical case study explores the programs broadcast by Melbourne community radio station PBS from 1979 to 2019 and the way programming decisions were made. PBS has always been an unplaylisted, specialist music station. Decisions about what music is played are made by individual program announcers according to their own tastes, not through algorithms or by applying audience research, music sales rankings or other formal quantitative methods. These decisions are also shaped by the station’s status as a licenced community radio broadcaster. This licence category requires community access and participation in the station’s operations. Data was gathered from archives, in‐depth interviews and a quantitative analysis of programs broadcast over the four decades since PBS was founded in 1976. Based on a Bourdieusian approach to the field, a range of cultural intermediaries are identified. These are people who made and influenced programming decisions, including announcers, program managers, station managers, Board members and the programming committee. Being progressive requires change. This research has found an inherent tension between the station’s values of cooperative decision‐making and the broadcasting of progressive music. Knowledge in the fields of community radio and music is advanced by exploring how cultural intermediaries at PBS made decisions to realise eth station’s goals of community access and participation. ii Acknowledgements To my supervisors, Jock Given and Ellie Rennie, and in the early phase of this research Aneta Podkalicka, I am extremely grateful to have been given your knowledge, wisdom and support.

  • Speak! the Community Listens
    Speak! The Community Listens ABC Radio, Nova and Triple J are all household radio names. Between AM and FM core radio stations, we get our international and national news, entertainment and music. But for those of us who want something a bit closer to home, or something slightly out of the mainstream, there is community radio. Community radio first made its appearance in 1972, following the election of Gough Whitlam, whose government believed in developing grass-root social participation (Seneviratne 1993, pg. 4). In 1993, there were just 118 community radio services across Australia, with 2.5 million people tuning in each week (Seneviratne 1993, pg. 5). Now, Community broadcasting is Australia’s largest media sector, with over 5 million people tuning into over 440 radio services each week (Community Broadcasting Association of Australia 2017). Community radio has been a major avenue for individuals to voice their opinions and experiences to a broader community. Even though community radio, due to its limited funding, is mainly staffed by volunteers, many of the community radio broadcasters have professional experience. The Australian community broadcasting sector is also recognised internationally as a successful form of grassroots media (Community Broadcasting Foundation 2017). As such, community radio should be considered in a professional light. Earlier this year, a brave 14 year old radio host, Lilly Lyons, made headlines when she used community radio to reach out to other sexual assault survivors (Costello 2017). She described the radio as ‘helping her get her voice out there’, a voice that continues to inspire other survivors, reminding them that they are not alone.
