[edit] History

3KND was one of the later entrants into the temporary community broadcasting period in Melbourne as part of the lead up to the granting of four additional community licences for the City. It was granted the only AM licence available for community radio at that time. The 1503 frequency had been previously vacated by 3AK as it moved to occupy 1116 AM.

3KND was licensed at the same time as 3JOY (Joy Melbourne - Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender community), 3TLC (Triple 7 / Light FM - Christian radio), and 3SYN (Student & youth radio).

Internet streaming was introduced in 2006.
