3CR will be hosting another radiothon this year, in a bid to ensure the Melbourne community invests in progressive and alternative coverage of radio media.
The radiothon will be held during June 4 and 17 and the radio will continue to broadcast it’s normal programs.
Now in its 36th year, 3CR is a local institution and gateway for empowering those often denied a voice in mainstream media.
“The reason that 3CR was established 36 year ago stands today,” says 3CR Chairperson James McKenzie, “it’s because people want an alternative.
With a passionate crew of more than 400 volunteer programmers broadcasting 130 programs each week in over 20 languages, the station relies on its annual radiothon to keep the station on air for the next twelve months, covering bills, license fees, equipment upgrades and a skeleton administrative staff.
