About Me |

3RRR (pronounced "Three Triple R", or simply "Triple R") is arguably Australia's best known community radio station, based in Melbourne. RRR first commenced broadcasting in 1976 from the studios of 3ST, the student radio station of RMIT University, on an educational licence with the name 3RMT. In 1979 it relocated to Fitzroy, and adopted its present name. During the late 1970s and early 1980s, it became synonymous with the post punk and new wave subcultures. It has developed a devoted listener base, many of whom donate their time or money to keep the station going; either as volunteers or through the annual "Radiothon". In late 2004 supporters raised enough money for the station to purchase and move into new premises on the corner of Blyth and Nicholson Streets in Brunswick East after the 20 year lease on their previous studios, in Victoria St, Fitzroy, expired. RRR 's mission statement was defined in 1990 as:
To develop a critical approach to contemporary culture. Most of RRR 's programming consists of specialist music programmes, whose hosts have complete autonomy; the station does not have playlists. As such, the nature of what RRR broadcasts varies wildly depending on time of week. RRR is funded entirely by community sponsorships and public subscribers (currently around 11,500), which, by removing standard commercial pressures, allows this diverse programming. With an eclectic mix of programmes and a commitment to independence and integrity, RRR has been cited as a model for community radio stations and a cornerstone of Melbourne's alternative/underground culture. LISTEN ONLINE Wherever you are in the known universe, you can listen to RRR online by going to RRR'S HOMEPAGE and clicking the NOW STREAMING link in the right hand panel.
