The community radio stations with no future

Scores of smaller community radio stations could be left out of the digital future altogether.

As the big industry players move to digital broadcasting many stations may end up with no future and have to shut down.

Commercial radio, The ABC and the larger metro-wide community stations are currently making the transition to transmitting on digital radio.

About 30 large city based community stations can now be heard on both traditional radio (FM and AM) and also on digital radio.

Oz IMC here is looking good. Important story from Ray Jackson near the top too.

For the last 2 months the Sydney Alternative Media website has been dormant. The lead story remains one on the ructions in the TWS national green group.

The reason is that the editor, owner, this writer has return to legal practice so there are time constraints.
