RSN Racing & Sport (ACMA call sign 3UZ, verbally referred to as RSN 927) is an Australian radio station in Australia. It broadcasts a sports radio format to Melbourne, and to much of Victoria through various repeater stations.
First broadcast as 3UZ on 8 March 1925, it was sold in 1986 to the state's racing harness and greyhound racing bodies, as well as the three Melbourne-based throughbred clubs (Victoria Racing Club, Melbourne Racing Club and Moonee Valley Racing Club) as well as Country Racing Victoria. The metropolitan clubs continued to hold individual stakes following the formation of Racing Victoria as the state's principal thoroughbred racing authority in 2001. RSN's programming was previously syndicated to racing radio services in Tasmania and the Australian Capital Territory, however as of 2024 it broadcasts to the state of Victoria only.
In 2021, Racing Victoria took control of the thoroughbred industry's stake in RSN via its integrated media arm, making it a sister to its television station and web site, Racing.com. The harness racing and greyhound authorities continue to hold stakes in RSN.
Today, the majority of the station's programming is dedicated to coverage of thoroughbred, harness and greyhound racing.
