RADIO 3CR NEEDS YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT DURING RADIOTHON!
PLEASE HELP THE SUWA SHOW RAISE $600 BY CALLING 9419 8377 DURING THE SHOW
ON FRIDAY JUNE 15.
Yes it's that time of the year again. 3CR is hoping to raise at least $125
000 during this years radiothon and the SUWA (Squatters and Unwaged
Airwaves) show has been set a target of raising $600 towards that total.
Any and all donations are welcome and will go towards keeping Melbourne's
only grassroots community radio station on the air. Donations over $2 are
also tax deductible and there are radiothon prizes to be won including a
couple of spiffy bikes, CD packs and gift vouchers.
After 16 or 17 years of broadcasting the SUWA show continues to present
information of relevance to the unwaged, working poor and squatters as well
as providing news about trouble-making in general. As part of our focus on
direct action we plug local demonstrations and events and host regular
interviews with local and overseas activists, squatters, cooperatives and
grass roots organisations. Somewhere in between all of this we manage to
squeeze in a few choice tunes as well.
This last year has been a good one for SUWA. We have recently moved from
the Friday 11am slot and now broadcast every Friday afternoon between 5-30
and 6-30pm. The collective presenting the show has also expanded to include
six regular hosts (Phil, Sam, Peter, Iain, Margaret and Michael) as well as
a number of part time presenters. In the coming weeks we hope to start
regularly exchanging interviews and segments with a similar program in
Sydney called Autopia.
Please help SUWA and 3CR keep afloat by helping us reach our $600 target
during radiothon. To make a pledge ring in during the show on Friday June
15 or email us at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Thanks,
The SUWA Collective.
