History

[edit]

Casey Radio began life as Market City Radio in 1983, and the first testtransmission was carried out from JC Mills Reserve,Dandenong on 6 May 1984. A further transmission later occurred from the Dandenong Show.

After a 2-year hiatus, the station was revived by several early members, particularly life member Fred Harrison (originally from3RPP), who assisted in the original licence application.[12]

Station facilities were established atFountain Gate Shopping Centre on Magid Drive,Narre Warren in 1987. The frequency allotted for testing was 88.3 MHz, and the test transmissions were broad, extending to thePeninsula and theCity of Knox. Some listeners even reported receiving the signal fromCoburg andGeelong (which are 42 km and 83 km away respectively). These test transmissions continued four times a year (a week each time).[13]

Graeme Lewis and Andrew Tokely formed part of a technical team that oversaw the construction of the original transmission tower in April 1991. A full-timebroadcast licence was later granted on 7 July 1991. Broadcasts were originally between 6am and midnight.[14] The station celebrated its officially opening on 30 September 1991, and moved to another location at theshopping complex shortly thereafter.

David Lentin (a formerMelbourneradio personality andVictoria Policedetective, now deceased) became president of the ailing station in 1996. He and longtimevolunteer Jim Hines are credited for turning 3SER around, and were responsible for the decision to venture intooutside broadcasts at local sporting events.[15]

Later in the mid-1990s, the station moved to a location inNarre Warren on the corner ofPrinces Highway and Webb Street.[16]

In September 2002, 3SER FM moved into their current council-owned premises inCranbourne East known as the Casey Complex. TheCity of Casey retained ownership but agreed from 2003 to provide financial support andgrants in exchange for station presenters highlighting the term"Casey Radio" during announcements.[17]

Webcasting of the signal began on 15 July 2005.[18]

In 2007 after almost 16 years, efforts to improve the stations' broadcast signal required building a new comms building and antenna and the disassembly of the old one. This was a joint cooperation between theCity of Casey andTelstra.[19]

After Mr Lentin took ill in late 2007,Geoff Ablett stepped in as station manager whilst also balancing a few stints asCity of Casey mayor.[20]

The 2008-09 period was tumultuous for the Cranbourne station, having secured a further 4 years of councilfunding but still trying to establish "transparent management practices".Efforts were made to establish a sub-committee, new board members welcomed and salaried staff were employed.[21]

3SER began refreshing itsidentity andlogo, utilising theCasey Radiomoniker (to which had a couple of iterations between 2011 and 2014), and some funds had been put aside to bring a newwebsite to fruition. New stationsignage at the Casey Complex was installed.

TheCity of Casey quarantined an allocation of $75 000 in funding from the 2017-18 financial year in part due to perceived poorgovernance and relationship with the council. Areport to the council on progress made is due in 6 months, upon which time the held funds may be released.[22][23]

Sport

[edit]

Casey Radio is a media partner of theVictorian Football League andVictorian Premier Cricket competitions,[24] an arrangement that has continued since it began in 1993. The station hosted a special Saturday morning radio program in winter for the VFL, and summer for the Victorian Premier Cricketcompetition, and then follows this by broadcasting matches of both competitions live on weekends. Currently it broadcasts theS.E.F.N.L. Game of the Day on Saturdays and the VFL Game of the Day on Sundays.

Casey Radio also broadcasts from many charity-related sporting events, as well asIndoor cricket,Netball,Baseball (Claxton Shield),Basketball(NBL),Picnic Racing, (Non TAB)Soccer andBoxing.
