Three D Radio is run by volunteers, with no paid staff and is funded by contributions made by its listeners and the very occasional grant.
The Triple M callsign was purchased in the early 1990s by Village Roadshow, for their national radio network of stations under that name.
Although the terms of the deal were not disclosed, the major cash injection allowed the station to purchase modern equipment and maintain running costs for quite some time.
[1] There are over 60 diverse programs going to air each week to an average cumulative audience of over 110,000 listeners.
Announcers are free to choose the music that they present; however, there are strict quotas which ensure that content is at least 40% Australian music, of which half is local South Australian releases and a quarter is local unsigned material.
