Our Radiothon is a bit different this year... We are giving away on air campaigns, instead of asking our local businesses and supporters to supply prizes... However, a few were still keen to super generously donate vouchers for us to give away...
A HUGE thank-you to:
CAFE HAVE YA BEAN - $30 Voucher
THE FAT GOAT - $50 Voucher
UPWEY IGA - Cadbury Chocolates
THE BLUES TRAIN - $270 Voucher
UPWEY AMCAL CHEMIST - 6 X $10 Vouchers
SILHOUETTE GROOMING & PET SUPPLIES - 2 X $20 Vouchers
CÓRDOBA MUSIC & 5 STAR MUSIC - An Acoustic Guitar

Considering how tough it's been for businesses this year, you might want to nominate one of these to win one of our ON AIR Campaign Giveaways... 25 words or less via engagement@3mdr.com ~ Winners announced in November 2020.

Forest Park Homestead Renos

There have been some busy bees at Forest Park Homestead over the past few months.  With the school mostly closed, the opportunity was seized to have some much needed renovation / upkeep work done to a few areas of the Homestead. 
Most significantly, the structural mat at the front step has been demoted to just a regular mat at the front door, the side deck and rotted weatherboards at the side have been replaced.
There's also been painting, broken windows replaced and a little outdoor office [aka beer garden] established.
We look forward to being able to show it all off to you as soon as we can!!

Our second studio ~ The Drawing Room [aka Studio 2] ~ is ON AIR!!
Just in time for Radiothon this year and following months of work by the 3MDR Tech Team.
This has allowed heaps more presenters & shows to return to live broadcasting from Forest Park Homestead [within our COVID Safe Plan requirements] and we are LOVING it!!!
Dr Watson broadcast the very first show from the Drawing Room ~ 'Bring Down The Birds' on Monday 12th October at 7pm ~ and there's been a steady stream of happy presenters in the space ever since.
This second studio will also allow us to train new presenters and run great training for our current volunteers.

Are you ready to Come Together | right now for 3MDR’s annual Radiothon extravaganza?

Yes folks, 3MDR’s once a year call out to you, our beloved listeners, to put your money where your ears are and subscribe to help this mighty fine station stay on the airwaves for another 12 months

Come Together | right now kicks off on Monday 12th October & runs til Sunday 25th October

With 2020 being one of the most challenging years in living memory, local radio has played an important role in keeping listeners connected, providing company and comfort during  these difficult and often isolating times

                 To celebrate or perhaps commemorate the crazy year that 2020 is 3MDR has an EXCLUSIVE
Come Together | right now T-Shirt
available for purchase at $30ea with every subscription taken out during the 2020 Radiothon

We firmly believe that all of the incredible volunteering efforts from 3MDR's presenters over the last 12 months are worth 100% of your support.  A subscription rate rise was on the tables but, after careful consideration, it has been decided to keep the subscriber rates at the same prices as they have been for the last decade.   3MDR continues to provide More Community Radio Bang For Your Buck.
If you've been missing your favourite show, as not all of our fabulous presenters have been able to produce content at home or return to live broadcasting... Fear not, our second studio has just been finished and will be on air for Radiothon, so more shows will be returning.  There will still be some shows missing from the grid, but these presenters are super keen to return as soon as they can.

The 2020/21 3MDR Listener Subscriber Rates are: 

$20 Youth (under 18)
$30 Concession / Offbeat Friend / Strapped (for cash)
$40 Standard
$50 Family
$50 Community Group/School/Sports Club
$50 Performers
$100 Business
NEW CATEGORY $1000 Best Friend For Life - pay once and your good for life!!!

 
$40 Concession Membership
$50 Standard Membership


As the prices will be remaining ridiculously cheap, we are encouraging our listeners to add a tax deductible donation if in a position to do so.
We have some suggested amounts, with our favourites being:
 Frequency Flyer Cessna for $97.10
Frequency Flyer Jumbo Jet for $971.00

 Or maybe round up your purchase to one of these amounts
 We’ve added this as an option in our 3MDR.com shop
All donations over $2 are tax deductible
