3RRR

3RRR (pronounced 'Three Triple R', or simply 'Triple R') is a community radio station — based in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia — whose logo sometimes denotes their involvement on releases as a record label. For their studio space as a recording location, please consider 'Radio 3RRR FM, Melbourne, Victoria'. For their mobile recording unit please use '3RRR Mobile'. 3RRR first commenced broadcasting in 1976 from the studios of 3ST, the student radio station of the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (now RMIT University), on an educational licence with the name 3RMT. In 1979 the radio station relocated to Fitzroy, and adopted its present name. 3RRR's operations are funded entirely by community sponsorships and public subscribers, which, by removing standard commercial pressures, allows for this diverse programming. In late 2004, supporters raised enough money for the station to purchase and move into new premises on the corner of Blyth and Nicholson Streets in Brunswick East after the 20-year lease on their previous studios, in Victoria Street Fitzroy, expired.
