3KND Kool’N’Deadly

Broadcasting our VAN Talks podcast in the form of a one-hour weekly current affairs program, 3KND is Victoria's first and only Aboriginal-owned and -operated radio station

Our partnership with 3KND holds a truly special place in the heart of VAN. More than just a collaboration, 3KND serves as the foundational "home" station for our company. It is where Charles first took to the airwaves with the Connection Matters Radio program, laying the groundwork for the community-driven broadcasting work we continue to build upon today.

This ongoing relationship marks an exciting new chapter of growth and collaboration. As part of our expanded partnership, VAN team members now work directly from 3KND’s offices in Bundoora. Sharing a physical workspace allows our teams to collaborate closely on a daily basis, fostering fresh ideas and streamlining our creative efforts under one roof.

Central to this partnership is our shared commitment to grass-roots media. VAN remains dedicated to producing and delivering our weekly VAN Hour program through 3KND, ensuring our community has consistent access to meaningful, localised content. Beyond our current schedule, 3KND provides the ideal launching pad as we develop and broadcast a suite of brand-new programming currently in the pipeline.

At its core, this partnership reaffirms our enduring commitment to community broadcasting. By pooling resources, sharing physical spaces, and amplifying local voices, VAN and 3KND continue to demonstrate the power of authentic, community-focused media to connect, inform, and inspire. We are immensely proud to stand alongside 3KND as we grow together.
