A history of Mackay by K.H.Kennedy, Mackay Revisited, other local histories and personal memoirs held in the Library collection, particularly those of 4MK founders the Williams family, provided useful information about significant events, local politics and industry issues that affected the Mackay community during the study period. Former and current radio staff members were also generous in allocating time for interviews.

Localism in radio fulfils a civic function in regional communities. But it cannot operate effectively in commercial radio without a strong policy framework. A study of localism policies in Australian commercial radio reveals the long-term effects of broadcast regulation and deregulation on commercial radio’s programming and practices. For many decades the cultural practice of listening to the radio was a very different experience in rural and urban Australia. Commercial radio stations were an audio ‘parish pump’ for their local communities. Some 80 per cent of the community tuned in to their local station and listeners developed a degree of ‘ownership’ of their sole commercial radio service. Commercial radio is an influential yet underrated medium and a neglected area of research although it attracts Australia’s biggest radio audiences. The sector is dominated by regional commercial radio services which outnumber their metropolitan peers in a ratio of six to one. For close to 70 years government broadcast-localism policies created a unique form of commercial radio in non-metropolitan Australia. A case study of commercial radio from 1931 ─ 2007 in the north Queensland town of Mackay demonstrates radio’s significant impact on community identity formation and reinforcement. Commercial radio exercised considerable social, cultural and political power in regional Australia during a period of government-endorsed broadcast monopolies. In regional Australia, localism regulations displaced advertising as the predominant constituting force of commercial radio’s discourse, programming, practices, profitability and structure. Local ownership and local content were actively supported by successive governments as a support for rural communities and a form of resistance to metropolitanism. Listening to the sole local commercial radio station became a community-defining practice. Radio audiences accord a high level of trust to the medium and this feature was enhanced for rural Australians by localism requirements. Radio remains the key site for broadcast localism in regional Australia. Deregulation in the 1990s catalysed a radio boom with new commercial stations opening across the nation. A consequence of this plurality of services has been a decline in live and local programming as network owners use syndicated, prerecorded and relay programming to cut costs. As a result, in many regional areas ABC local radio became the mainstay of broadcast localism. The opposing forces of globalisation and localisation are at their most apparent in the development trajectory of regional commercial radio in Australia. Commercial radio services no longer reflect distinct communities; local content is minimal and national and global matters predominate.

This was following an alleged attempted armed robbery of shop on Tuesday evening at Sale. The offender allegedly fled in a stolen car, also occupied by a woman, and police took chase. Police Minister Lisa Neville said it was an "appalling" act, but improvements to the old analogue network were already planned. A $12 million fully encrypted system should be fully operational by mid-2018. The duo believed to be involved in the attempted robbery were pursued to the nearby town of Traralgon where the woman was arrested. A 21-year-old man was later arrested on the roof of a nearby shed.

  • Dxpedition Report from Rose Spit, Haida Gwaii
    Rose Spit mini-DXpedition 11 July, 2011. Rose Spit loggings for 11 July, 2011: Medium Wave and Long Wave Here is a compilation of what I heard on an overnight DC only DXpedition to Rose Spit, about 25 km from the closest power lines, on the north east corner of Haida Gwaii. This spit is sandy, and covered in short grasses and strawberry plants, so ideal for remote DXpeditions, as it is accessible by 4x4 wheel drive vehicles. Conditions were not very good with the A index around 13, and K indices between 2 and 4, and solar flux at 90.6. The loggings below on MW are almost all from using a 750’ BOG aimed at New Zealand, unterminated. Here’s an aerial photo of the Spit. I was located just a few hundred meters past the tree line, in about the center of the spit, which faces N/NE. The larger photo below shows Rose Spit looking back to the West/South West to the treeline. Lot’s of room for BOGs! The figure below shows a view in the opposite direction down the spit to the N/NW where the 750’ BOGs were located. The NZ wire could have easily been double the distance. A more likely scenario for next time might be a phased BOG array towards NZ or dual Wellbrook delta loops. My wonderful DXpedition vehicle: A Nissan Frontier, 4 door, 4x4. Very comfortable, with a folding down front passenger seat, making a perfect platform for the radios and computer. Also a comfortable rear seat to sleep.

    Campaign Monitoring Process 1. Dispatch Creative Audio to Networks: All material for monitoring must be dispatched to networks via AudioNET for Key Number identification in the AirCheck system. Dispatch can be processed by the creative agency, media agency or the client themselves. (Charges apply) 2. Export Campaign from SMD. AudioNET currently relies on a .csv file from SMD to match campaign bookings with airplay. 3. Email the SMD export, Material Instructions and the Media Plan to [email protected]. • Keep AudioNET updated with all changes to campaign bookings, including Upweight campaigns, dropped spots, key number changes, spot volume changes as they occur to avoid delays in receiving your reports. 4. Subscribe to reports: From the list of Reporting Options below, nominate reports required, weekly, monthly or at the end of campaign. Report packages can be decided on a client-by-client basis and altered at any time. All reports are available in PDF and/or excel format. 5. Auditing Process: Your designated account manager will audit your client’s activity weekly, a week in arrears. Standard weekly reports are emailed through on any day between Tuesday to Thursday as the auditors work through each of their client’s radio campaign activities. The time to complete an audit and provide files is variant, dependent on the size and complexity of the campaign. A prompt delivery of weekly reports is also dependent on the accuracy of the campaign booking information provided to us (SMD & Material Instructions), whilst we compare these with how each station has aired your booked campaign. When booking discrepancies do arise, our auditors then start the manual process of reconciling ‘where has the error occurred’.

  • Jason Costigan
    Speech by Jason Costigan MEMBER FOR WHITSUNDAY Hansard Wednesday, 30 May 2012 MAIDEN SPEECH Mr COSTIGAN (Whitsunday—LNP) (4.08 pm): It gives me tremendous pleasure to rise as the first LNP member for Whitsunday, fulfilling my dream of representing a region that is very dear to my heart. First, though, I take this opportunity to congratulate the Speaker of the House on her historic appointment; the Premier, the Hon. Campbell Newman MP, on his historic election; and all members on their success in being part of the 54th Parliament. I look around the House and think back to 1865, when the foundation stone was laid—the same year that my great-great-grandfather came to Mackay as a pioneering police officer, having previously served as an officer of the Royal Irish Constabulary before arriving in Queensland. Pat Costigan served in Mackay and nearby Walkerston and by 1873 took up his posting as the first officer in charge at Nebo. Five generations later, there is still plenty of Nebo in my DNA. In fact, the Costigans have been in Queensland before there even was a Queensland, with William Costigan being part of that famous but ill-fated expedition to the north led by Edmund Kennedy way back in 1848, landing on the shores of Rockingham Bay north of present-day Cardwell. I come from humble stock in what used to be called the Brigalow Belt, well before the term ‘Bowen Basin’ became part of Queensland’s vernacular, with the emergence of the juggernaut that is now the coalmining industry in the Mackay-Whitsunday hinterland.
