We broadcast from three FM radio transmission towers across South Gippsland & also via Internet Live Streaming & Podcasts.
Our FM radio coverage includes Bass Coast & South Gippsland Shires and a small area of Cardinia & Wellington Shires. The major towns in this region are Cowes, San Remo, Wonthaggi, Korumburra, Leongatha, Inverloch, Foster & Yarram.
Radio Data System (RDS) – Text messages on radio displays
RDS allows text messages to be sent by 3mFM & displayed on your FM radio. While this is more common in car radios, it is may also be available on some home & portable radios.
We are currently upgrading our RDS messaging service to include more information such as song Artist – Title & 3mFM Show name.
During this upgrade, RDS message updates may be intermittent & ‘strange’.
