Welcome to Radiothon 2026, Triple R’s largest annual subscription and donation drive.

It’s a very important milestone for us this year – our 50th birthday! What better way to commemorate than by making it our Radiothon theme. That’s right, we’re Celebrating 50 Years!

What an unbelievable achievement that Triple R is still standing strong, raging against the machine. Against all odds, this independent, listener-funded, volunteer-presented, community-driven radio station is still here!

Since 1976, Triple R has shaped and inspired the culture of this city. We have championed our local music and arts scene, shone a light on issues and topics not covered anywhere else, and been a platform for otherwise unseen and unheard artists and organisations.

At a time when algorithms are increasingly soundtracking people’s lives, when misinformation is everywhere, and when division and mistrust of institutions is on the rise, it is clear that we need Triple R more than ever. Let’s ensure that this genuine alternative and nemesis to mediocre radio everywhere remains here to stay.

So, please don’t be complacent when it comes to protecting such a rare and important cultural institution. Triple R might not make it another 50 years without your enthusiasm, passion, and support.

Your subscriptions and donations will help fund the station and allow us to continue doing what we love to do – tell stories, share music, elevate voices.

If you believe in the power of Triple R, please help us Celebrate 50 Years! Subscribe and donate now.
