ABOUT THIS STATION
3MDR Community Radio is a non-profit cooperative dedicated to Community Engaged Broadcasting and to vigorously supporting local music, arts, cultures and the environment.
‘MDR’ stands for Mountain District Radio and we broadcast 24 hours a day 7 days a week across a transmission area extending from Ferntree Gully to Emerald, and Silvan to Berwick. Tune in via 97.1 on your FM dial or via our livestream or onDemand services.
3MDR provides an alternative to commercial and national stations, giving a platform to music and issues of social justice; and many people, causes and opinions that may otherwise not be heard.
The programs we offer include a wide variety of specialty music, live performances, news and lifestyle and local community arts and culture. We pride ourselves on featuring heaps of Australian music and supporting independent artists.
You can also tune into a wide variety of community language shows including Greek, Romanian, Sri Lankan, Tamil, Hindi, Croatian, and Samoan, which are all proudly hosted at 3MDR.
3MDR runs on the hard work, passion and dedication of two part time staff, over 100 volunteers, and the generosity of the subscribers, donors and sponsors. We couldn’t stay on the airwaves without all your support.
