In 1985 an association known as Community Radio Endeavour Warrnambool (CREW) was formed. The purposes of the Association were documented in the “proposed statement of purpose”.
To obtain a public radio broadcasting licence for the Warrnambool area and establish a broadcasting station to carry out the terms of such a licence
To seek to involve all persons in Warrnambool and district in all aspects of the operation of such a station
To attempt to provide through such a station programming which caters for interests not provided for by national or commercial stations in Warrnambool and district.
Following many “test” broadcasts, a licence was granted in September 1990. 24 hour broadcasting commenced with over 100 volunteers. The station ID 3WAY (standing for Warrnambool And You) was adopted.
