89.9 TheLight
89.9 TheLight (call sign 3TSC) is a Christian community radio station in Melbourne, Australia attracting more than a million listeners per month. It broadcasts on the FM band with the frequency of 89.9, on DAB+ digital radio and streams online via website and mobile app. Studios are located at 333 Mitcham Road, in Mitcham with FM transmitter on Mount Dandenong
The station's beginnings can be traced to 1977, when Melbourne Christian Radio was founded. It conducted test broadcasts in 1980, 1981, and 1982 as 3MCR before purchasing air time on commercial station 3DB.
89.9 TheLight is run by Positive Media Inc, which was formerly called Triple Seven Communications and 89.9 LightFM and Light Melbourne Inc. They conducted a three-month temporary broadcast in late 2001 and was informed in December of that year that they were successful for one of the four community licences available from the Australian Broadcasting Authority, now the Australian Communications and Media Authority. 89.9 TheLight began full-time permanent broadcasting on Sunday 1 December 2002.
In January 2017 it was announced that 89.9 TheLight reaches over a million people a month.
89.9 TheLight has its own dedicated news service that provides hourly updates throughout the day, and every half an hour during the breakfast (6 am-9 am) program. Previously, 89.9 TheLight had broadcast the Macquarie National News program every hour.
An exclusive simulcast of Nine News Melbourne at 18:00 with Alicia Loxley, Tom Steinfort, Tony Jones and Livinia Nixon airs at 18:00 every night of the week, except if the Nine Network is covering the cricket or the NRL Grand Final. The newsreader for that night chats with 89.9 TheLight every afternoon, previewing the bulletin at 18:00 hours.
The 89.9 TheLight Careline is a supportive service for people who would like prayer, an explanation of Christianity, or simply an understanding ear. Callers may also request to be referred to a local church. The Lord Mayor's Charitable Fund assisted with the operating costs of the Careline in 2003, 2004 and 2005. Careline is an independent nationwide service. "'Careline Connections' is a not for profit Company...provided as a Community service to listeners of Christian media across Australia."
