Ensure Your 3MBS Remains On Air for the Next 50 Years
The 3MBS legacy
The station is proud to have been the first licensed FM broadcaster to commence transmission in Victoria on 1 July 1975, marking this anniversary as a significant milestone in the state’s media history. Thanks to the tireless efforts of 3MBS founder Brian Cabena and fellow passionate classical music lovers, the station paved the way to meet the needs of a devoted listenership that has now grown into a community of over a quarter of a million monthly listeners.
Over the past fifty years, the station has evolved to suit the listening habits of the community. In addition to 103.5FM, listeners can now tune in via DAB, digital streaming on the 3MBS website, and the Community Radio Plus app. This year will see the construction of a dedicated podcast studio—a space where we will delve into specific musical topics and genres, and explore how Australia’s emerging artists are shaping the next generation of music-making.
