Dear 3MDR listeners and supporters

3MDR will be raising the broadcast antenna at the transmitter site on Tuesday 22nd October 2019.

Over the last 18 months 3MDR has been working with Yarra Valley Water to Raise The Mast.  This is an occupational health and safety measure for workers at the transmitter site.
3MDR will be off the air for several hours on Tuesday 22nd October from 8am while the communications riggers remove the old antenna mounting and install a longer mast.

3MDR will still be available online at 3mdr.com via the live stream.

3MDR hopes that the raising of the antenna will remove the need to switch off the transmitter whenever works are undertaken by Yarra Valley Water and other telco operators on the tower.  It is also hoped that 3MDR's signal will be stronger within some of the black spots within the licence area.

This project comes at a cost of approximately $10000 and 3MDR is most grateful for the funding support provided by the Community Broadcasting Foundation.  For more information on what the Community Broadcasting Foundation does by way of advocacy and funding in the community broadcasting sector click on the image below.

It's that time of year again folks!

3MDR's annual Radiothon kicks off on Monday 7th October.

​This year we're asking for your help to Fertilise The Frequency.

Thank you all so much for your ongoing support for community radio 3MDR as a subscriber or member over the last 12 months.  It's been a cracker of a year as we continue to develop the Forest Park Homestead broadcasting space.

By Fertilising The Frequency during October with a new or renewed subscription, you'll be keeping 3MDR on the airwaves.

As with every year, 3MDR has been blessed with the generosity of many prize donors.  Plant your subscription seed at 3MDR.com for your chance to win some fabulous prizes.

Head to the 3MDR Radiothon page HERE to check out all the goodies in the wheelbarrow.

Tune into your favourite shows and pledge your support by calling the studio (while the music is playing) on 9752 5678 or call the office during business hours on 9752 5637 or simply hop online HERE to Fertilise The Frequency.

To celebrate what we're hoping will be 3MDR's best Radiothon ever we are hosting a Fertilise The Frequency Garden Party on Sunday 20th October at Forest Park Homestead.  The Slip Dixies will provide the musical entertainment on the veranda, so gather family and friends, pack the picnic and join us at Forest Park Homestead and finish off the 2019 Radiothon in style!

Keep an eye on your inbox and 3MDR's social media pages  and an ear on the wireless for Fertilise The Frequency Radiothon updates.

Thanks again for your ongoing support.  The whole 3MDR family of volunteers, subscribers, members, sponsors, donors and listeners really appreciate it.
