Come see the studios in person!

Mark your diaries! The annual PBS 106.7FM Open Day is back — Saturday October 18, 2pm–5pm at Collingwood Yards.

See live radio in action as PBS volunteers and announcers open the doors to the engine room of PBS. Announcers present on the day include Emma Peel (Switched On), Palmtree Paddy (Ports of Paradise), Claire Dickson (The Breakfast Spread PBS), Helen Jennings OAM (Roots of Rhythm on PBS 106.7fm), Benjamin Chesler (Always Open), Ella Stoekli (Stardust PBS), Kristen Solury (The Bleeding Black Hearts R***e), and Michael Mulholland (Junkyard PBS).

Take a studio tour, grab a snap with the iconic Easey Street doors, or even jump behind the mic in our sting booth!

Purchase the highly desirable 90s retro merch in person and renew your membership with help from our friendly volunteers. Kids can pick up PBS colouring sheets too.

And plan to extend your stay! From 2pm - 9pm on October 18, Stay Soft Market is taking place in the Collingwood Yards courtyard. Check out stalls selling everything from hand made gifts to pastries, grab a drink, and watch DJ sets and PBS Live Broadcasts:
2pm - 3pm: Stardust PBS's Ella Stockeli (DJ set)
3pm - 5pm: A live broadcast of Tiger Beats Elephant Grooves with Pradip Sarkar + friends
5pm - 7pm: A live broadcast of Babylon Burning on PBS FM with Jesse I + friends

See you there!

After doing a fair bit of unpaid overtime, I am quite proud of the musical lineup for this Friday's designated shopping period. Our market research suggests a direct correlation between customer engagement and number of artists stocked in store. Ergo, what happens if we maximise artist representation by only playing collaborations?

Join us in store or online as we feature 100+ artists from across the vaporwave scene in all manner of duos, team ups and combos. Too many to list, of course, but I can assure you that a few very familiar names will be making repeat appearances:

desert sand feels warm at night
waterfront dining
猫 シ Corp.
t e l e p a t h テレパシー能力者
Hong Kong Express

Only on Always Open - streaming across PBS 106.7FM Melbourne
