Down But not Out

Community radio will keep fighting for a digital future
Community radio digital services face the axe in the budget just tabled in Canberra. Stations that have already introduced them may be forced to shut them down again, others will be prevented from going digital, following the federal government’s failure to provide the 1.4 million dollars a year funding needed to keep them going. Listen to some station managers telling how it’s affecting their digital programming and future plans.You’ll also hear Adrian Basso, president of the Community Broadcasting Association of Australia speak of an “underfunding mess” while SBS, the ABC and commercial broadcasters are gaining hundreds of millions of dollars from the budget. The station managers and Adrian Basso talked to “The Wire”, a five-days-a-week current affairs programme offered to more than 270 million community radios. The Wire’s own posting is at http://www.thewire.org.au/storyDetail.aspx?ID=10362.

Tell the government you value your community radio

May 7th, 2013 · Community, Media, Station News

 “Australian community radio has been instrumental in my recent international success. Like millions of Australians I am also a listener of community radio and I love it. I urge you Minister, rectify this budget shortfall” – Wally de Backer aka Gotye

That’s a snippet from Gotye’s letter to Communications Minister, Stephen Conroy.

As an artist and a listener, Gotye knows how important next week’s Federal Budget is for community radio.

Like you, he knows that if the Government doesn’t deliver adequate funding in the budget – which is just seven days away – community digital radio services will be at risk.

And, like you, he’s worried.

You’re behind the campaign, Gotye’s behind the campaign – but are your friends? Ask them to sign up now. [Read more →]
