In this photo, 3ZZ’s Mario Pinti shows off his portable tape recorder which has the ‘3ZZ Access Radio’ logo proudly displayed on the front. Behind him is the Melbourne skyline.

3ZZ was a community supported, and ABC-owned, ‘ethnic broadcasting’ station, which allowed everyday people to present on air in their own languages.

While the station closed after only two years – despite community lobbying to keep it open – 3ZZ laid the foundations for community stations such as 3ZZZ, which went to air a decade later.
