ANZAC Day is going high tech in 2017!!

Upwey/Belgrave RSL, Yarra Ranges Life TV and 3MDR – Mountain District Radio – have formed a local partnership and will be LIVE streaming the dawn and mid-morning services from the RSL.
The services will be LIVE broadcast on 3MDR (97.1fm) and LIVE streamed via Yarra Ranges Life TV’s Facebook page at 6am and 10am.

The idea behind this partnership is to connect local residents to these services, who are not able to physically attend.  The partnership is working with a number of local Aged Care Residences to have the LIVE stream beamed into their activity spaces for their residents to enjoy.  This type of community connectedness activity is the backbone of community broadcasting and RSL community engagement.
“We see this as integral part of our role as community radio broadcasters.  It’s really important to 3MDR that we create opportunities for our local residents to actively engage with the station and the wider community around them.” (3MDR President Pierre Rispoli)

"Our mission is to Inform, Engage and Entertain our audience; with a focus on promoting "Unity In Community".  We are humbled to be able to partner with Upwey Belgrave RSL and 3MDR to produce this first for the Yarra Ranges - A LIVE Dawn Service Simulcast; both on Community Radio and vision on the Yarra Ranges LIFE TV's Facebook page." (Yarra Ranges Life TV Executive Producer Patrick Boucher)

Anyone with a Facebook login is welcome to stream the LIVE feed via Yarra Ranges Life TV’s Facebook page:
https://www.facebook.com/YRLife.tv/
 
The 3MDR LIVE broadcast can be heard on 97.1fm or via web streaming at 3mdr.com
 
Upwey/Belgrave RSL would like to invite everyone to attend the ceremonies at the RSL – 1 Mast Gully Rd, Upwey.

New Premises Update

3/10/2017

As most of you are aware, 3MDR has been actively seeking new premises to better accommodate the operations of the radio station.  It's been an arduous task, and ultimately fruitless, to date and many people have dedicated time and energy to this project over many many years.

It's official!  Cardinia Council has confirmed that The Emerald Hall is to be demolished to make way for the long awaited Hills Hub Development Project.  After a lengthy community consultation process the decision has been made to demolish the existing building to allow for maximum use of the land space.  Now that this has been confirmed, 3MDR must find new premises whether they be of a temporary nature while the new building is constructed or a permanent location to house 3MDR for many years to come.  Either way, 3MDR will need to be relocated at the end of 2017.

Members of 3MDR have been actively engaged with Cardinia Council regarding the design of the new Hills Hub and endeavoring to secure guarantees from Council that 3MDR will be adequately, and affordably,  accommodated in the new facility to operate as a fully independent community radio station.

A working group has been established to not only liaise with Cardinia Council regarding 3MDR's requirements but to also investigate all options whether they be located in Cardinia or in neighbouring towns within 3MDR's licence area.
