ABC Central Victoria (call sign: 3ABCRR) is an ABC Local Radio station based in Bendigo, Victoria.[1] The station opened in January 1993 and covers Bendigo, Echuca, St Arnaud and Kyneton.[1]
The station's local programming includes a breakfast show presented by Jonathan Ridnell on weekdays and Megan Spencer on Saturdays, and a weekday morning program hosted by Fiona Parker (also heard on ABC Western Victoria and ABC Mildura Swan Hill).[1]
On 9th January 2026, the station's transmitter site at Mt Alexander was damaged in the Victorian bushfires, causing the station to go off-air terrestrially. Community radio station Phoenix FM, which was not affected by this, immediately suspended normal programming and became a repeater of ABC Central Victoria for emergency information.[2]
