96.5 Inner FM (official call sign 3INR) is a community radio station in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

The format is a mixture of magazine-style and music programmes, with an intention to appeal to all tastes and age groups.

[citation needed] Inner FM is the result of a change to an initially proposed plan for a number of sub-metropolitan community radio stations.

Subsequent to their first trial broadcasts, a new group was established in the inner most part of the original service area.

Inner FM began life in November 1987 when a group of local residents held a meeting to discuss the formation of a community radio station in the North Eastern region of Melbourne.

The first test broadcast period of what was then known as North East Community Radio was conducted in late February and early March 1988 from the Heidelberg Town Hall.

Programs are interspersed with community sponsors and public service announcements, and can be listened to live through the FM frequency as well as through an Internet Radio broadcast.

Under 96.5 Inner FM's "lifestyle" programming, shows such as Scouting Around and That's Entertainment have remained on air since the beginnings of the station.
