ABOUT PBS 106.7 FM
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 FM is one of Australia’s largest community radio stations/websites whose charter is to represent under-represented music. We cover every imaginable genre of music, from hip hop to electronica, hardcore, punk, grind, metal, blues, roots, jazz, world, indie, country, rockabilly to dub, reggae and more!
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!
Finally, you can help PBS-FM and the community by spreading the word. Help save your friends from a world of high repetition commercial radio and introduce them to a true alternative. They will discover a music scene they never new existed.

The PBS website receives millions upon millions of hits every month from browsers worldwide (in January 2007 we registered over 6.5million hits); it’s a great place for you to get your band seen.
