PBS 106.7 FM

PBS FM exists to bring the Melbourne community, and the world-wide community (through our webcast), independent radio. PBS FM aims to represent under-represented music. We’re a specialist radio station that is largely run by volunteers. For over 25 years, PBS-FM has been a beacon of independent, freeform, passionate, real and unpretentious radio. PBS is a champion of specialist and under-represented music and is proudly non-corporate, anti-fashion and wanker-free.

PBS announcers are music-loving folks who volunteer their energy, musical knowledge and vast record collections to prepare in-depth, specialist, music-freak programs. From our humble inner-city studios, with a small core of staff and an army of dedicated volunteers, we broadcast 24 hours a day to the wider metropolitan area of Melbourne and beyond, and stream live to the world here on the web.

Every PBS announcer has total and utter autonomy over what they play. Their programs are a reflection of their own evolving musical tastes, enthusiasms and discoveries a musical journey which is shared with you, the music-loving listener.

It is our hope that PBS is a joyous, adventurous and educational experience that turns you on to music that's eternally cool, and provides a real alternative to manufactured notions of what's "hip" in the increasingly corporate musical mainstream.

PBS 106.7FM doesn’t play hits... we make hits. Tune in and you will no doubt here tracks long before they are played on commercial stations. Underground will live forever!

We broadcast great music 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We also run a huge website that is updated daily with a plethora of reviews, interviews, giveaways and news. PBS also has a biannual print magazine, Easey, which is sent to all our members and is also available for free from the station and all PBS FM events.

As mentioned before, PBS FM is predominantly run by volunteers. All of our announcers are volunteers and with the exception of a small skeleton of paid staff, the station is run by volunteers. We welcome new volunteers to the station everyday. You can come and get experience or fine-tune your skills in a variety of areas.  From administration to production, to marketing, to writing or taking photos for the website or working behind the scenes on the website and more, there are plenty of areas to help out around the station. A lot of PBS FM’s paid staff were once volunteers!
