A Brief History of 3ZZZ Oromo Radio Program

The Victorian Oromo Community Association approached the management and committee of Ethnic Community Radio, 3ZZZ in early 1995 in order to start a radio programme in Afaan Oromo for the growing Oromo migrants in the city of Melbourne. The first group of migrants consisting of three or four families arrived in Melbourne, Australia in 1984 and it was a big step in our lives to contemplate this project. The Oromo Radio program started broadcasting in Afaan Oromoo on 10th August 1995 by the veteran Oromo artist Shantam Shubisa with the object of:
  1. Establishing the Oromo community and its language, Afaan Oromo, as one of the major ethnic languages here in Australia;
  2. Making Oromo community members feel that we can exercise our democratic rights in this country and show that we can make it here what we failed to achieve in our own home country;
  3. Serving as a means of communications for major government policies;
  4. Keeping our community members in touch and get in depth understanding of what is happening in Oromiya; and
  5. Using as a means of entertainment.
Thanks to the development of Internet, the Oromo Radio Program is now recognized as one of the major sources of information and entertainment for Oromo who live around the globe. The management and broadcasters of this program invite you to listen to us and provide us with your comments so that we can serve you better.
The Oromo program can be heard Sunday, 1-2 pm, on 92.3 FM (Melbourne)
