Community Radio 3BBR-FM has been nominated for three National Awards, and its programs and recordings have been recognised through national syndication.
- Gippsland Live and 3BBR-FM Concert Hall have been jointly nominated for Excellence in Australian Music for the broadcasting of local live performance, and 3BBR live fine music recordings have been accepted for national broadcast in Fine Music Live.
- West Gippsland Week has been nominated for Best News / Current Affairs, and
- Continental Drift has been nominated for Best Music Program, also being distributed nationally through the Community Radio Network.
“To gain this recognition against well funded metro stations reflects the effort and quality that our local presenters are able to deliver,” said station President Paul Strickland. “While local community radio is run entirely by unpaid volunteers, does not mean that it is ‘amateur’ in the sense of poor performance.”
Continental Drift presented by Garry Havrilay features cross-cultural music of the world, and can be heard on Sundays from noon and Tuesday nights at 10pm. Gippsland Live is our weekly showcase of local live performance, heard twice a week on Wednesday evenings from 8pm and Friday afternoons at 2pm. 3BBR-FM Concert Hall presented by Joseph Barake can be heard on Sundays from 2pm and West Gippsland Week is heard on Friday’s at 6pm and Saturdays at 8 am.
The winners of these awards will be announced in mid-October at the annual conference of the Community Broadcasting Association of Australia.
A list of all nominees is now available on the CBAA website.
