3MBS is a fine music community radio station in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia and relies on listener support in the form of subscriptions, donations and bequests.

Founded in 1975, 3MBS was the first FM station in Victoria and led the way for the introduction of community radio in Australia. After 30 years based in a shopfront in Kew, 3MBS is delighted to make our home in the St Euphrasia building at the Abbotsford Convent. With new studios, digitally networked, 3MBS has become a community radio station of the future.

3MBS passionately supports fine music, especially Melbourne musicians and composers, and is the only locally-based classical music radio station in Victoria. Our purpose-built Performance Studio to record and broadcast live music performances from local and visiting classical musicians has created new opportunities for 3MBS to support and promote local fine music in Melbourne.

3MBS is run by a very small staff and many volunteers and new volunteers are always welcome. We would love to hear from anyone with an interest in music, radio and Melbourne.
