Unfortunately 3MDR's Listen Back / Ondemand function on our program pages is currently not working.

We have had to quickly change our provider and we chose to prioritise having our web stream working, so you can continue to tune into live radio via 3mdr.com.

We are working to fix the listen back archives, so you can catch up on your fave shows, but it may take a bit of time.
​
Your patience with us while we do this work is much appreciated.

3MDR would like to acknowledge the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation, the traditional custodians of the land on which we operate today - and pay our respects to their Elders past, present and future, and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

We had our very first Garden Bee on Monday 7th February, with a small crew of dedicated (and fully PPE'd) volunteers!! 

The results are fabulous!!  Many of the pathways have been opened up, so you can actually walk them now, and we found the edge of the driveway!!  We also got one of our garden beds built!!

A HUGE thank-you to Norman, VB, Bealy, Sue, Peter, Chris D & Dean, Chris R, & Barb for your mammoth efforts!!

We'll be having a weekend Garden Bee soon too...
​If you'd like to come and volunteer, fill THIS FORM in and we'll add you to our list.

We're nearly back to all systems go for our 2022 on air programs, give or take the odd period of iso, and there have been a couple of changes to the grid.

Jo from Heart Hour is moving up North, so her regular program has been retired... However, she has promised a special or two once she's settled in, so keep an ear out for those.

RockBottomRadio has seen the return of Marko... And he and Luke have moved to 10pm Thursday nights, with a longer two hour show.  So, be sure to stay tuned after Do Your Thing with Daniel for aural delights from all over the musical spectrum, with a focus on local emerging musicians.

SideTracks has expanded to two hours, following RockBottomRadio moving timeslots, and John can't wait to expand his weekly offering!! He's got some great ideas for new content... You'll need to tune in from 3pm on a Wednesday arvo, so you don't miss a thing!

We're hoping to have our new training modules set up towards the middle of the year, so we'll look forward to announcing some new shows and presenters then.

If you have any feedback about 3MDR's programming, please don't hesitate to email our Programming Committee via programming@3mdr.com

Emerald / Monbulk Wildlife Shelter is our final Community Group to be awarded a FREE month of On Air Announcements, as part of a COVID-19 Recovery Project funded by Yarra Ranges Council.

"Emerald / Monbulk Wildlife Shelter has been caring for orphaned and injured wildlife for over 30 years.   
Carol and her team of volunteers care for between 40 and 60 animals on any given day!
There are always a number of baby animals that require around the clock care with Carol feeding them through the night.

If you'd like to donate to support Carol's rehabilitation work at the shelter or just learn how to check a pouch and what to do if you find injured wildlife in the hills, check out Emerald / Monbulk Wildlife Shelter on Instagram or Facebook... Or better yet, donate to the Shelter's Go Fund Me."
