PBS FM is one of Australia's leading community radio stations. Our charter is to play under-represented music, and we've been doing so for over 30 years.

All our announcers are volunteers, as are many of the people behind the scenes. Still, it costs around $15,000.00/week to keep us going!

Our income is derived predominantly from memberships; we are not a commercial station nor do we get government funding.

If you'd like to support PBS FM and Fret Net in particular, and help keep us on air, please consider joining. Please note that none of this money, not even one single cent, goes to me. It ALL goes towards the running costs of the station. I'm a volunteer and give my time to PBS and Fret Net for free.

There are different levels of subscription, but I suggest these:

  • PBS Proud Supporter - A$75
    Standard subscription for individuals.
  • Performer - A$110
    Share the cost amongst your band mates, and get a little plug on the show every week! Plus, you get an entry on the Fret Net Supporters page.
  • Business - A$550
    For businesses to show the guitar community their support for Fret Net, and get an on-air acknowledgement on the show every week! Plus, you get an entry on the Fret Net Supporters page.

Alternatively, call our subscriptions manager, Monica Hanns, and she'll take care of you. The number is 8415 1067, or 03 8415 1067 if you're outside of Melbourne but still in Australia, or +613 8415 1067 if you're outside of Australia.

Thanks!
