JOY 94.9 Out Loud Proud

JOY 94.9 Out Loud Proud isn’t just another radio station—it’s a voice, a movement, and a celebration of Melbourne’s diverse LGBTIQA+ community. Broadcasting since 1993, this non-commercial, listener-supported station breaks the mold with fearless queer programming that refuses to be boxed in. Whether you’re tuning in for underground queer artists, hard-hitting queer news, or unapologetic drag queen-hosted shows, JOY delivers what mainstream radio won’t.

Hit play on their live stream right now and you’ll hear Melbourne’s queer heartbeat in real time—no ads, no corporate playlists, just raw community energy. Their lineup is a riot of queer perspectives: from trans-led talk shows to lesbian poetry slams, bisexual pop culture deep-dives to radical queer history hours. The JOY 94.9 playlist? A defiant mix of queer anthems, local LGBTIQA+ talent, and global beats you won’t find on commercial FM.

What makes this station special? It’s where Melbourne’s rainbow finds its frequency. The overnight shows might feature transgender DJs spinning queer club bangers, while Sunday mornings bring reflective discussions on intersex rights. Every program is created by—and for—the community it represents. Check their website for bold specialty shows like "Dykes on Mics" or "Out of the Pan," where LGBTQIA+ issues get mic time commercial radio ignores.

Stream JOY 94.9 in crisp digital quality 24/7—no registration walls, no paywalls, just unfiltered queer airwaves. Their real-time playlist updates let you track every radical track hitting the air today, while weekly Top 10 charts spotlight emerging queer artists. Whether you’re after fierce queer dance parties or intimate non-binary storytelling sessions, this station proves radio can still be revolutionary.

Turn it up loud. This is queer airspace.
