3CR would like to announce a timely and important new show to our grid - Refugee Radio. This new program aims to give asylum seekers and refugees a voice; a chance to speak out and let you know that they are just like us, people with hopes and aspirations, people who deserve to be treated as we would expect to be treated if, by the accident of birth, we found ourselves in their position. Refugee Radio is on air every Sunday at 10 - 10.30am on 3CR.

3CR would like to send out a huge thank you to everyone that has donated to our 2013 Radiothon. While the political donations are rolling in, we are still not there yet!

If you have made a pledge, pay by Sunday 30 June to receive a tax deductible receipt for this year.

In this federal election year, 3CR Community Radio will be asking you to make a political donation that matters. As the two major political parties slug it out - the choice is clear – a donation to 3CR is a vote for 3CR’s progressive alternative coverage of social, cultural and political issues.
To celebrate our 2013 Radiothon, 3CR's Burning Vinyl will be broadcasting live from The Old Bar every Friday in June from 2-4pm
