Melbourne community radio station PBS 106.7FM is preparing to launch its biggest annual fundraiser to date, urging listeners to “dig deep, plug into the mainframe and amplify this open circuit community of music-lovers and tastemakers”.
The completely independent, non-profit, people-powered community radio station, which relies heavily on listener support, will kick off its Radio Festival on May 16 and this year’s theme is ‘Complete The Connection’.
The 2022 tagline follows major changes behind the scenes, with PBS relocating to its new home at Collingwood Yards during the pandemic and asking listeners to help complete the final connection for the station’s inaugural two-week Radio Festival at its new digs.
"PBS is always there for musicians and music lovers through good times and not-so-good times,” PBS 106.7FM General Manager Adrian Basso said.
“The station’s annual radio festival is the time when music lovers show they are there for PBS, by keeping the station on air by signing up as station members."
Singer-songwriter Grace Cummings added: "PBS has always been an integral part of music in Melbourne. I grew up listening to the station and it’ll stay on my dial. Thanks for playing the classics as well as giving musicians like me a chance to be heard. All my love always to everyone at PBS.”
