PBS Radio Festival 2020 “ 18 - 31 May - Join - Renew - Donate
PBS won't let a little isolation stop the station! PBS Radio Festival 2020: You Can't Stop The Music Monday May 18 “ Sunday May 31 #PBSRadioFestival #YouCantStopTheMusic
The global pandemic may have shut down many aspects of life as we know it, but PBS 106.7FM's annual Radio Festival is not one of them. The good folk at PBS are once again calling on its listeners to dig deep and support the station that supports them, with its oh-so-apt 2020 theme You Can't Stop The Music'. Bringing you the best emerging, independent, specialist and underrepresented music 24-hours a day, 365 days a year for over four decades, PBS is the antidote we all need in these trying times, and is seeking your help to keep the station alive and the tunes spinning long into a post-COVID future. So alert the group chat, bombard your next zoom meeting and call everyone you know, because this is going to be a big one!
From Monday 18 May to Sunday 31 May you can join up or renew your annual PBS membership, or simply make a donation via the PBS website, during the station's biggest online and on air fundraiser of the year. Tune into 106.7FM to catch tales from PBS' past, cherished memories, guest appearances and your favourite PBS presenters sharing their thoughts on the many, many benefits of being a PBS member including, of course, a treasure trove of prizes.
PBS has supported the Melbourne music community for over 40 years. Over that time most of the station's income has been derived from sponsorship and membership. With many businesses closed due to COVID-19, most of our traditional sponsors are not in a position to support us at this time. Therefore, it is important for our survival that listeners sign up as members and that current members renew. Many people affected by the current restrictions are finding a sense of normality in listening to PBS. I urge them all to dig deep and support us with memberships and/or donations during our 2020 Radio Festival. You Can't Stop The Music!
- David Heard - Acid Country Presenter

"PBS has spun The Teskey Brothers since we first started releasing music in 2016. We definitely wouldn't have had such a good start without their early support. It's really important that this great radio station can continue to support bands like us forever so please sign up to be a member during this year's Radio Festival."
- Sam Teskey of The Teskey Brothers
