3SFM Smart FM 99.1

3SFM Smart FM 99.1 is the hit-music station of Swan Hill, the river town on the Victorian stretch of the Murray where the Mallee begins, paddle steamers still work the water, and the river has always set the town's pace.

The playlist leans hits and pop - familiar chart songs and sing-along favourites that suit a country town's rhythms, from the morning school run to the drive home past orchards and irrigation channels, with the volume turned up for the long straight roads of the Mallee.

Local radio still matters out here - the nearest big-city signals are hours away by road - so a station like Smart FM doubles as town square: community notices, sport and weather between the songs, all with the Murray's muddy patience. Free to stream online, it makes an easy hits web radio listen - the sound of Swan Hill, from the riverbank and the paddle-steamer wharf to anywhere in the world.
