Are you riddled with remorse about being a free-loading listener? Do you wake up in a sweat from nightmares about not giving back to your beloved community radio station?
Well now’s your chance to finally quell those guilt gremlins and support Triple R – welcome to April Amnesty 2026!
What on earth is April Amnesty, you say?
April Amnesty is one of Triple R’s two major subscriber drives each year. Didn’t get around to subscribing and donating to the station during Radiothon last year? Maybe you lost track of time or were short of a dime? Never fear, because April Amnesty is another great time to join our Triple R community and absolve yourself of any lingering shame!
How much longer can you escape the crushing guilt of not subscribing? We reckon some people must have been wondering that themselves for the last 50 years. Well, maybe it’s finally time to reconsider, because yes! That’s right! Triple R is turning 50, and there’s no better present than subscribing in our 50th year, to help ensure that we stick around for 50 more.
The original version, circa late 1970s/early 1980s.
This year, we’ve had a lot of fun bringing back to life a subscription slogan from the early days of the station, with the help of illustrator Riwaz Kazi. You can check out more of his work here.
Secure your subscription to Triple R any time during the month of April, and not only will you help keep our station running smoothly and on the airwaves for a little longer, but you’ll be rewarded for your efforts, and automatically entered into a massive prize draw to win some really wonderful prizes. More on them below!
But, why subscribe? Radio is free!
Radio might be free to you the listener, but behind the scenes, there are many costs that go into running a station. Everything from our equipment and employees, to the transmission and technology comes at a price!
So, if you enjoy what you hear on the Rs, and you believe in the power of community radio, subscribe and donate whatever you can to keep us on air for another year. There’s never been a more important time to support independent, algorithm-free radio on the airwaves. Our beautiful radio station is powered by our passionate, diverse, and knowledgeable volunteer presenters, and every subscription and donation keeps them, and Triple R, on the airwaves – so thank you!
Aside from keeping this truly unique and independent service alive and kicking, there are also many brilliant benefits that come with subscribing, including:
- Exclusive access to Live at RRR events in the Triple R Performance Space;
- A subscriber card that unlocks discounts to businesses all across town;
- Full access to Triple R’s audio archives online;
- The opportunity to enter heaps of brilliant giveaways, all year round;
- Triple R subscriber preview film screenings at local cinemas;
- And of course, the iconic 3RRR bumper sticker.
Then there’s the prizes, thanks to some very generous prize donors! Everyone who subscribes during April Amnesty will also go into the running to win some super special April Amnesty prizes – you can read all about them here!
If you have a business, you might opt to subscribe your business, too! Our Business Subscribers get a few extra perks as well, including:
- $500 value automatically added to your first sponsorship package booked and paid for with Triple R;
- Five subscriber cards for you to hand out amongst the team and share the discount love;
- A year-long business subscriber listing and page dedicated to your business on the Triple R website;
- And for most businesses, your subscription is tax deductible!
Without a doubt, the very best part of subscribing is knowing that you're helping Triple R remain on the air and in our lives. And we can’t thank you enough for that.
What about donating?
Donations can be made for any amount – and any amount over $2 is completely tax deductible because of Triple R’s charity status.
You might like to top up your subscription with a donation, or donate an amount that reflects how important Triple R is to you.
