Barbara Baxter Retires from CBF

1/30/2019

Comments

After 27 years supporting community media, Barbara Baxter from the CBF Grants Support Team is retiring!

Barbara joined the CBF as an first Grants Administrator in 1991 after discovering her love of community radio at 3MDR (where she was a founding member). Barbara has provided grants advice and support for community broadcasters across Australia, while at the same time, juggling responsibilities as CBF's Finance Manager.

Over the years, Barbara has seen many changes at the CBF and in community media. Her dedication and commitment to supporting broadcasters has been unwavering. On behalf of the community broadcasters you have helped – thank you. On behalf of the CBF Support Team, thank you for your passion, commitment and dry sense of humour. We’ll miss you!

‘Barbara and I have worked together for 18 years now and it’s really hard to imagine the CBF without her. To be without her remarkable memory, her command of detail and her wry, wicked sense of humour. I could praise her strong work ethic, her complete reliability, her dedication and commitment all day. And, it would all be true. I will certainly miss her for that amazing contribution to the work of the CBF, but what I’ll miss more is the opportunity to spend so much time with someone who over the years has become a valued friend.’
Ian Stanistreet, CEO Community Broadcasting Foundation.

R.I.P Jason Shaw - Age 49 - The Club Show Mondays on 3MDR

1/9/2019

Comments

It is with great sadness that 3MDR reports on the sudden passing of The Club Show’s Jason Shaw at the all too young age of 49.
 
Jason was a highly valued member of the 3MDR family since joining the radio station in 2001.  The Club Show was a Monday evening favourite for many listeners as Jason, along with a number of co-hosts over the years, played a mix of Australian and international club artists from the 70s, 80s and 90s.  Jason’s passion for the genre extended beyond broadcasting on radio and, as DJ Red, he touched the hearts of many  club and dance music lovers at parties, functions and clubs.

Monday nights will never be the same on 3MDR.  Jason and his good friend Dazmo (pictured below at 3MDR's 30th Anniversary Gala Ball 2015) presented back to back programs for many years on 97.1fm with The Club Show leading into The Late Night Shenanigans each week.

 
Jason first stepped into the wonderful world of community broadcasting in 1997 at a station called CITY-FM.  This station missed out on a permanent broadcasting licence and Jason then became a member of 3MDR to continue his passion for broadcasting.
 
Since joining 3MDR, aside from presenting a weekly program, Jason was actively involved in many aspects of the operations assisting with production work, sourcing and installing equipment, website maintenance and Community Service Announcements.  Always willing to help out around the station, Jason was a warm and welcoming member of the organisation and will be missed greatly by his family, friends, fellow presenters, listeners and members of community radio 3MDR.
 
Long time friend, Dazmo, will be honouring Jason’s contributions to community radio 3MDR with a special tribute show on Monday 14th January from 8:00pm.
 
3MDR extends its deepest sympathies to Jason’s family at this sad time.
