Strewth, 3CR, Melbourne's own community radio station, has been a real champion for the underdog since the mid-70s. They popped up with a mission to give a voice to the working class, women, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples – a fair go for everyone, right? Remember that time your mate tried to get their band on the air? That's the kind of spirit they’ve always had.
This wasn't your average radio station; 3CR quickly became known as Melbourne's voice of dissent, a platform for those often overlooked. They championed social justice and provided a space for underrepresented voices to be heard, sparking conversations and challenging the status quo. Think of it as the rebellious cousin of your typical radio station.
It’s a testament to their resilience and commitment that they’re still going strong all these years later, a true Aussie battler in the media landscape. They've consistently provided a vital community service, proving that a bit of passion and a good antenna can go a long way. So next time you're flicking through the dial, give 'em a listen – you might just hear something that'll make you think.
