It’s just a game.
But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt when your team loses after the siren.

It’s just a teenage crush.
But that doesn’t mean you don’t still think back on the 3-week holiday at Barwon Heads in 1994 when you met Becky Saunders.

It’s just the wind.
But that doesn’t mean you don’t see monsters in the backyard plotting their way into your bedroom.

It’s just a radio station.
But that doesn’t mean it isn’t a part of who you are.

It’s just a radio station.
But that doesn’t mean it isn’t your collator of cultural events, your provider of political analysis, your unearther of underwater creature facts, your finder of fabulous films, your contributor of crucial conversation, your detector of divine and diverse music.

It’s just a radio station.
But that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t have a heart, a conscience, an understanding of the social issues that mean the most to its listeners.

It’s just a radio station.
But it doesn’t just press shuffle on the days’ playlist. It thinks about what is being played. It tries to connect the listener to the music and the artist. It even sometimes tries to connect the next song to the last.

It’s just a radio station.
But it is the heartbeat of Melbourne’s music and cultural scene.

It’s not just a radio station.
It’s so much more.
It’s one station under a groove.
It’s Triple R.
