3MDR mountain district radio 97.1fm is a community broadcaster based east of Melbourne in the forest covered mountains of the Dandenongs.

The signal can be picked up much further away and can be webstreamed online anywhere in the world (with the necessary implements, computer, internet etc). Something for Everyone!
Our presenters are passionate about broadcasting and are actively involved in the community. There is a program for all tastes and interests. 3MDR broadcasts 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Our programming includes music, live performances, news and lifestyle, talk-back and local community arts and culture. We have specialist music programs that play everything from metal, blues, country, folk and hip-hop. MDR has a high Australian music content and supports independent artists. MDR proudly hosts a wide variety of ethnic programs, including Greek, Romanian, Sri Lankan, Tamil, Hindi, Croatian, Italian and Samoan. MDR is an emergency broadcaster and provides vital bushfire information and potentially life-saving updates on Code Red fire days. 3MDR runs free Community Service Announcements for community groups based in the Mountain District License area.
