Sydney Mardi Gras Parade 2016 Broadcast

sydney-gay-and-lesbian-mardigras-logoIn an unprecedented partnership with SBS and Australia’s only LGBTI radio station JOY 94.9, the 2016 parade was broadcast live with matching commentary on SBS Online and the Mardi Gras website, with JOY 94.9 FM in Melbourne, SBS Digital 3 and the Community Radio Network broadcasting the commentary audio across Australia.

Hosting the commentary were:
  • Dean Beck
  • Adam Richard
  • Shannon Power
  • Greta Larkins
  • Emily Dwyer
  • Matt McDonell
Live crosses from the parade featured:
  • ​Dylan Adler
  • Grace Marshell
  • Scott Tetley
  • Josh Olds

The commentary broadcast is further evidence of the commitment made by SBS to make the Mardi Gras Parade more accessible to a wider audience.

While SBS filmed the parade live, Australia’s only LGBTI radio station JOY 94.9 provided the commentary with featured presenters.

“JOY is dedicated to providing a voice of the LGBTI communities, and providing the commentary for this flagship event is another way where we can break down isolation for those who aren’t able to celebrate the Parade in person,”
JOY 94.9 Program Director, James Findlay.

The Community Radio Network gives the opportunity for over 100 community radio stations across Australia to take the commentary of the Mardi Gras Parade and allow audiences not usually exposed to LGBTI celebrations, particularly in regional and rural areas.

Please enjoy this podcast, the entire parade condensed into this one package of diversity.
