3CR - Melbourne - 855 AM (AAC+)

3CR Community Radio - Melbourne isn't your typical FM station. Broadcasting on 855 AM with crisp AAC+ quality, this independent Melbourne gem thrives on raw, unfiltered voices often overlooked by mainstream airwaves. Tune in for the unexpected – from fiery social justice debates to niche music shows celebrating underground artists you won't hear anywhere else.

Forget algorithmically generated playlists. 3CR’s schedule feels alive, handcrafted by presenters who actually care. One hour you're immersed in Indigenous storytelling, the next you're headbanging to unsigned punk bands or learning about urban farming. That's the magic of community radio – no corporate overlords dictating the charts, just real people curating real sounds.

Streaming online means breaking geographic barriers. Whether you're in Melbourne’s northern suburbs or halfway across the globe, catch the AM signal digitally reborn in HD-quality audio. No paywalls, no tedious sign-ups – just hit play and let 855 AM’s rebellious spirit shake up your routine. Bonus? Unlike commercial stations drowning in ads, 3CR keeps interruptions minimal, letting the content speak for itself.

Curious what's live right now? Their ever-updated playlist reveals all: obscure folk ballads, fiery political roundtables, or maybe a DIY electronica set recorded in someone’s garage. No two days sound alike. That’s why loyal listeners treat 3CR less like background noise and more like an audio lifeline to Melbourne’s beating heart.

Turn the dial to something different. 3CR won’t spoon-feed you top 40 hits – it’ll challenge you. And honestly? That’s exactly what good radio should do.
