Broadcast Services Act amendment a “win for common sense”
CRA CEO Joan Warner
An amendment to the Broadcast Services Act today will give regional radio station operators more flexibility in managing their stations.
Joan Warner, CEO of Commercial Radio Australia, said: “It’s a win for common sense.”
The amendment is around the definition of “trigger events” and the consequences when a station is bought.
“Local” country/provincial radio licence holders should be “Local” and not just on relay from a “hub”. If they can’t do it, give the licences to some one who can.
