Victorian Broadcasting Network 3HA Covers Western Victoria

Because of its favourable geographical situation and its modern vertical steel radiator standing 250 feet in height on top of Mount Bainbridge, five miles from Hamilton, which is 1,140 feet above sea level, 3HA covers all western Victoria, the Wimmera and the south east of South Australia.

It is a unit of the Victorian Broadcasting Network (“The Age” Broadcasting Service) and the Macquarie Network which means that it is included in the most important network features whereby its programmes are among the best in Australia.

3HA makes a special feature of local live artist programmes every day. The 3HA Women’s Club is another important feature with a membership of about 10,000 and branches at Hamilton, Mount Gambier, Naracoorte, Heywood, Portland, Warrnambool, Horsham, Coleraine and Casterton.
