Description
ABOUT US : STATION PROFILE
Although much about Triple R has changed since its early days as an educational broadcaster, its core philosophy and direction have remained the same. Commencing in 1976 at RMIT under an experimental licence, Triple R Broadcasters Ltd. was granted a full 'E' class public broadcasting licence in 1978 as 3RRR. Today, 3RRR is Australia's most well known community broadcasting station and has the continuing involvement of RMIT and Melbourne University following the withdrawal of most of the tertiary institutions in the early eighties.
A large part of Triple R's success and survival is due to the support of our listeners who subscribe to the station each year. Triple R has by far the highest level of listener subscription support of any community station in the country and 70% of the station's audience is between 18 and 35 years of age. The average subscriber age is 28. Approximately 150 volunteer broadcasters produce and present 63 programs and over 20 regular segments in the current Triple R format.
Subscription is financial listener support. The more financial listener support we have, the more resources Triple R has to develop and improve station facilities.
