3CR's Girls Radio Offensive loves Melbourne punk! In order to keep promoting the punk scene for another year, they're holding the Stinkfest benefit gig this Saturday 6 April. The fact that it just happens to coincide with Dale's (Girls Radio Offensive programmer) 40th birthday is a mere cherry on top!

3CR launched its digital radio service in April 2011 - but now community digital radio services across Australia are at risk. The Government committed $2.2 million to fund digital community services for four years, but $3.6 million is required to maintain these services in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth. Without action this shortfall means all of the community digital radio services will have to be switched off in at least two of the five capital cities currently broadcasting. It could be Melbourne!
3CR will celebrate International Women's Day on Friday 8 March with 24 hours of women's only programming. Program highlights include live outside broadcasts from the Fitzroy Stars GYM on Gertrude street with 3CR's own Jody Beeton, women's current affairs, music, poetry and much more. See grid or download the word document.
Being a subscriber of 3CR means that you're actively supporting independent community media and coverage of issues and people that the mass media ignore. Are you paid up? Make sure you are, it's just $65 and $35 concession and if you join up as a new member between 18 to 24 February you'll go in the running for a digital radio (donated by Roberts Radio, pictured).
