**Triple R Station Profile**

For more than 40 years Triple R has shaped and inspired the culture of Melbourne. Since its inception as an educational broadcaster in 1976, Triple R has become Australia's most influential community radio station with over 14,000 subscribers and an estimated 440,000 weekly listeners.

Broadcasting on 102.7FM and 3RRR Digital, the Triple R grid houses over 60 diverse programs. Music shows cover every genre imaginable from pop to punk rock, from R&B and electro to jazz, hip hop, country and metal. Specialist talks programs delve into topics as varied as the environment, human rights, politics, medical issues, gardening, cultural ventures and local interests.

With the exception of Breakfasters, all of Triple R’s programs are presented by volunteers. Broadcasters who are drawn to the station because of its unique, independent ethos and its commitment to quality public radio. All Triple R’s broadcasters have a passion for what they present and are genuine music fanatics or devoted experts in their fields.

The voices heard on Triple R are as varied as its listeners. And, it’s many of these listeners who keep the station on-air year in, year out. Triple R is a fully independent non-profit community radio station which relies on sponsorship and listener subscriptions to keep running – listener funded radio. We’re not beholden to shareholders or advertisers; we’re here to serve our community of listeners and offer them a genuine, intelligent and considered alternative.

Triple R is not a commercial radio station - it relies on sponsorship and listener subscriptions to pay the bills, try to keep up with the latest broadcast related technology and improve and maintain the station's facilities. Most of these subscriptions are signed up during the annual Radiothon. For two weeks in August listeners are given the opportunity to win some truly awesome prizes if they call in and subscribe. If you happen to subscribe at another time of the year, there are still a truck-load of benefits heaped upon you. Local retailers and service providers who are sponsors will offer you discounts. In addition, concert tickets, movie passes, t-shirts, books and CDs are given away to subscribers all year-round.


Triple R 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 other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
