  • Music on PBS: a History of Music Programming at a Community Radio Station
    Music on PBS: A History of Music Programming at a Community Radio Station Rochelle Lade (BArts Monash, MArts RMIT) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy January 2021 Abstract This historical case study explores the programs broadcast by Melbourne community radio station PBS from 1979 to 2019 and the way programming decisions were made. PBS has always been an unplaylisted, specialist music station. Decisions about what music is played are made by individual program announcers according to their own tastes, not through algorithms or by applying audience research, music sales rankings or other formal quantitative methods. These decisions are also shaped by the station’s status as a licenced community radio broadcaster. This licence category requires community access and participation in the station’s operations. Data was gathered from archives, in‐depth interviews and a quantitative analysis of programs broadcast over the four decades since PBS was founded in 1976. Based on a Bourdieusian approach to the field, a range of cultural intermediaries are identified. These are people who made and influenced programming decisions, including announcers, program managers, station managers, Board members and the programming committee. Being progressive requires change. This research has found an inherent tension between the station’s values of cooperative decision‐making and the broadcasting of progressive music. Knowledge in the fields of community radio and music is advanced by exploring how cultural intermediaries at PBS made decisions to realise eth station’s goals of community access and participation. ii Acknowledgements To my supervisors, Jock Given and Ellie Rennie, and in the early phase of this research Aneta Podkalicka, I am extremely grateful to have been given your knowledge, wisdom and support.

  • Public Hearings in Melbourne and Alice Springs – 20-21 July Tuning Into Community Broadcasting
    MEDIA ALERT Issued: 18 July 2006 HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Chair – Jackie Kelly MP STANDING COMMITTEE ON COMMUNICATIONS, Deputy – Julie Owens MP INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND THE ARTS Public hearings in Melbourne and Alice Springs – 20-21 July Tuning into community broadcasting The key role that community radio and television broadcasting plays for ethnic, indigenous, vision impaired and regional areas will be discussed during public hearings held in Melbourne (20 July) and Alice Springs (21 July). These are the second hearings for the inquiry into community broadcasting being conducted by the Standing Committee on Communications, Information Technology and the Arts. In Melbourne, the Committee will hear from Channel 31 (C31), which is a not-for-profit television service providing locally-based entertainment, education and information targeting the many diverse communities within Victoria.

  • Commercial Radio
    MEDIA RELEASE 8 May 2009 Melbourne first on the east coast to switch on digital radio Commercial radio stations in Melbourne MIX, GOLD, SEN, 3AW, 3MP, FOX, MAGIC, TRIPLE M, NOVA, VEGA, Sport 927, Radar, Pink Radio, Koffee and NovaNation create radio history on Monday, 11 May 2009 when they begin broadcasting the first permanent DAB+ digital radio services on the east coast of Australia. Joan Warner, chief executive officer of Commercial Radio Australia the industry body that has driven the move to digital radio said Monday was another milestone for the industry in Australia following the switch on of DAB+ digital radio in Perth last week. “The possibilities for digital radio in the sport loving state of Melbourne are very exciting. AFL final calls on radio with scrolling text scores and stats or the Melbourne Cup with photos of winners or pause and then rewind if you missed the end of the race - these are all possible with the new capabilities of digital radio,’ said Ms Warner. “DAB+ services in Melbourne have been greatly anticipated with many of the digital radio manufacturers such as Pure, Sangean, Teac, Roberts and Yamaha based in Melbourne. The digital radio switch on in Perth went very smoothly and traffic to our www.digitalradioplus.com.au website has been very high with listeners seeking more information about digital radio.” “The switch on of digital radio is a culmination of seven years work with the Federal Government, the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA), commercial broadcasters, the ABC and SBS, together with retailers and manufacturers of digital radios to ensure a comprehensive and coordinated switch on of a compelling new way of listening to radio,” said Ms Warner.

  • Speak! the Community Listens
    Speak! The Community Listens ABC Radio, Nova and Triple J are all household radio names. Between AM and FM core radio stations, we get our international and national news, entertainment and music. But for those of us who want something a bit closer to home, or something slightly out of the mainstream, there is community radio. Community radio first made its appearance in 1972, following the election of Gough Whitlam, whose government believed in developing grass-root social participation (Seneviratne 1993, pg. 4). In 1993, there were just 118 community radio services across Australia, with 2.5 million people tuning in each week (Seneviratne 1993, pg. 5). Now, Community broadcasting is Australia’s largest media sector, with over 5 million people tuning into over 440 radio services each week (Community Broadcasting Association of Australia 2017). Community radio has been a major avenue for individuals to voice their opinions and experiences to a broader community. Even though community radio, due to its limited funding, is mainly staffed by volunteers, many of the community radio broadcasters have professional experience. The Australian community broadcasting sector is also recognised internationally as a successful form of grassroots media (Community Broadcasting Foundation 2017). As such, community radio should be considered in a professional light. Earlier this year, a brave 14 year old radio host, Lilly Lyons, made headlines when she used community radio to reach out to other sexual assault survivors (Costello 2017). She described the radio as ‘helping her get her voice out there’, a voice that continues to inspire other survivors, reminding them that they are not alone.

  • Company Statement from Macquarie Media Chairman, Russell Tate
    COMPANY STATEMENT FROM MACQUARIE MEDIA CHAIRMAN, RUSSELL TATE Saturday 17 August 2019 On Thursday on his 2GB and 4BC breakfast show, Alan Jones made certain comments in respect of New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, which caused offence to many people. Recognising the offence caused by his remarks, Alan on Friday publicly apologised for them. In his apology, Alan recognised that his comments were “careless, unnecessary and wrong”, and “should have been more clearly thought out”. He indicated that he had apologised sincerely to Prime Minister Ardern for any offence given, and had certainly not intended to suggest any harm through his comments. Notwithstanding his apologies, I have today discussed the matter with Alan and advised him that any recurrence of commentary of this nature will result in the termination of his contract.
