Hello 3MDR Community!!
We’ve got a few more programming updates for you!!
Retirements
Independent Country: After 22 years on air, Wal Adams has decided to hang up his headphones. A few of Wal’s highlights from his time on air include:
- Broadcasting with Smiley, Michael Day, Denver, Margaret, Sandra & Andy Sneddon.
- Doing a 14 hour show one night… From 7.30pm Friday to 9.30am Saturday!!
- And he loved showcasing new Australian Country artists on his show each week.
Saturday Morning Country: Unfortunately it seems Smiley will not be returning to 3MDR at this time. We hope to get back in touch with him and we’ll update you when we find out more.
Slingsby’s Miscellany: Slingsby’s final show will be this Tuesday 20th June at 9am. Slingsby started his show as a lockdown project and now he’s too busy being out and about to fit us in.
New Shows

Brassed Off: Mark Gardner is kicking off his new show tonight, Friday 19th June at 6pm!! Showcasing all brass music, with a large dose of new Aussie and local tunes.
