Upcoming Events

May 1st, 2026

May 1st, 2026, marks exactly 40 years since Voice FM officially took to the airwaves as a fully licensed community broadcaster.

To celebrate four decades of being Ballarat’s local voice, we’re hosting a massive on-air anniversary special.

Tune in all day as we open the archives and welcome back previous presenters to share their favourite memories. We’ll be tracing our journey from the original 3BBB days to now, playing the iconic hits that defined our first broadcasts.

It’s a day of history, music, and community—don’t miss a moment of the celebration!
