PBS Membership Benefits
PBS is a station about music. We keep you in touch with what is happening in your scene, locally and abroad, with interviews and live performances every week. PBS keeps everyone in the loop and contributes to keeping Melbourne the creative city it is with music at its core.
We need your support to make this all possible!
Everyone who becomes a PBS Member* receives these great benefits:
- PBS Waves magazine home delivered twice a year
- Special Member entry price to PBS events
- PBS eNewsletter every week
- Access to exclusive member giveaways of tickets, records, CDs and more throughout the year
- Great music from a great radio station that supports and promotes music and music making
Plus, everyone who signs up gets a PBS membership pack, which includes:
- A PBS membership card, which provides discounts to more than 100 businesses and services around town
- An exclusive PBS bumper sticker
- Keep It Real, Keep It Live: PBS Recordings from Collingwood Yards 2022-23 compilation download - tracks you can’t buy at records stores or online.
Or go packless! If you'd prefer to receive nothing in the mail, we're happy to oblige. You'll keep the warm fuzzies of supporting PBS, and feel a little lighter knowing you've said 'no thanks' to potential land fill.

We Made it Home!
We are at our new home in Collingwood Yards and it looks (and sounds) amazing.
We have finished the first three of our new studios, with a fourth radio studio not far away, and have completed work on Studio 5 which allows us to host bands and musicians performing live-to-air from a purpose-built studio.
This move has been made possible through support from listeners and members, we absolutely couldn't have done it without you.
We also had help from the Victorian Government (through the Community Support Fund), the Helen Macpherson Smith Trust, Creative Partnerships Australia via Plus 1, and The Community Broadcasting Foundation.
