February Member Update

Broadcasting Highlights

This has been a big month for JOY, with two successful outside broadcasts taking place, one at Carnival and the other at Pride March. We were able to introduce some new presenters to our OB team and it was great to welcome back some old hands

CEO Update

Summer in Melbourne is always fun, but summer for JOY is frenetic. From January – March you will see the JOY team out and about at festivals and events and most importantly – broadcasting live. Four outside broadcasts across five massive events. From Mardi Gras, to Chill Out, Melbourne Queer Film Festival to La Trobe University Pride Celebrations and Women’s AFL – we will be bringing you the best of our diverse community.
