96.5 Inner FM (official call sign 3INR) is a community radio station in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

96.5 Inner FM broadcasts on a frequency of 96.5 MHz. Its main coverage area is the inner north eastern suburbs of Melbourne. Its format consists of largely of easy listening / nostalgic music, and community programs.

The studios of Inner FM are located at Warringal Shopping Centre (formerly called Centro Warringal) in Burgundy St, Heidelberg. The transmitter is at the Austin Hospital, with signal transmission between station and transmitter achieved by an analogue "line-of-sight" UHF link at a frequency of 847 MHz. For more about this link, see these links here. [1] [2]

Inner FM is staffed by non-paid volunteers, who are involved in all aspects of running the station. Overall management rests with a committee elected by the members. (This is in accord with the proper form for an Incorporated Not-For-Profit association, constituted under the Associations Incorporations Act 1981 (Victoria).[citation needed])

Inner FM broadcasts 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The format is a mixture of magazine-style and music programmes, with an intention to appeal to all tastes and age groups. As of August 2024, live broadcasting is from 6 am to midnight, with pre-recorded programs overnight on weeknights.

Inner FM can also be listened to through a live audio stream, accessible via the station's website.

A survey[citation needed] conducted by the Department of Transport and Communications in 1992 showed a 40% overall awareness of community radio, and a survey conducted by Ramsay Research at the same time, showed a local listening base of 8.6%.

Inner FM is listed as one of the "Official media" by the Banyule City Council.[citation needed]
