Community Radio Federation Limited

3CR is a community radio station established in 1976 to provide a voice for those denied access to the mass media. This includes the working class, women, Indigenous people and hundreds of community groups. In 2024 we maintained and operated a community radio station for this purpose. Around 400 volunteer programmers presented over 115 programs that went to air each week. The station broadcast in approximately 18 languages, including English, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. 3CR provides programming of interest to a broad audience and specific interest groups. Communities broadcasting on 3CR cover a wide array of issues from social justice, the environment, culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities, the arts, music and more. Listeners can tune into our analogue broadcast on 855AM, digital broadcast on 3CRDigital, stream live through the web at 3cr.org.au or download podcasts of our shows. Unlike almost all other media organisations in Australia, 3CR is genuinely owned by the community. 3CR s highest decisionmaking body, the Community Radio Federation (CRF), comprises representatives of Affiliate member organisations, elected station worker and subscriber representatives. The CRF meets reguarly and oversees the aims, objectives, purpose and vision of 3CR.
