3WAY-FM 103.7 marked 40 years serving the Victorian community of Warrnambool and surrounds with a celebration held on Friday May 16 and a Say G’day to 3WAY event on Sunday May 18.

The Friday evening celebrations saw representatives from the CBAA and CBF attend what was also the launch of brand new studios, with the courtyard outside also being named Carolyn Court in honour and memory of Carolyn Claridge, who was part of the founding group who established the station, and along her husband Chris, better known as Crunch, had hosted a Spirit of Australia music program among many other roles including station president.
