3CR to provide alternative coverage of S11 events
Monday September 4th - Wednesday September 13th
Melbourne's political community radio station, 3CR will give a voice to the
S11 protestors and those with alternative views on the World Economic Forum
- providing coverage independent of the corporate and commercial media. As
a community run and community owned radio station that does not depend on
advertising or government funding for our survival, 3CR is in a unique
position to provide coverage not tainted by the almighty $dollar$.
3CR Community Radio will broadcast special coverage of the issues and
events of the World Economic Forum and the September 11th - 13th protests.
During the three days of the meeting 3CR will be presenting live programs
from the Crown Casino and be broadcasting hourly updates from 7am through
to 10pm everyday.
Special coverage will begin on Monday September 4th with 3CR Breakfast and
Hometime shows focusing on the impact of globalisation on women around the
world. This will start a week of interviews and information produced by
3CR's current affairs programs that will explore different global concerns
on each day of the week prior to the S11 protests.
(Monday - women; Tuesday - Third World; Wednesday - workers; Thursday -
environment; Friday - indigenous peoples).
In addition, the station is currently working closely with the Melbourne
Independent Media Centre and will be contributing audio stories to the
website melbourne.indymedia.org for access right around the world.
3CR will also be distributing special S11 programs via the ComRadSat, the
satellite service of the Community Broadcasting Association of Australia
(CBAA). On Monday and Tuesday mornings between 10 - 11am community stations
right around Australia will be able to access an hour of live coverage of
the S11 activities.
