LGBTQI+ community radio station JOY 94.9 this year again joined forces with SBS Radio for a special Mardi Gras weekend broadcast. 

This included a live broadcast of the 40th anniversary parade of the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, held on Saturday, 3 March.

The action from Taylor Square was made available via the Community Radio Network, reaching listeners from Taree (2BOB) to those in Western Australia.

CRN also distributed JOY's Mardi Gras special editions of Not My Cup Of Tea, The Gender Agenda and 21st Century Women.

We ducked down to the parade and took some photos of the team in action.
