Introduction Since 1999, researchers from Griffith University have undertaken national research on Australia’s community broadcasting sector. This research has involved two national projects. The first project (1999-2001) was station-based and was designed to gather data on the sector’s stations and participants. The second study (2003- ), currently underway is an audience-based study which has gathered qualitative data on community broadcasting audiences. This audience study, Australia’s Community Broadcasting Audiences Talk Back, is designed to complement the quantitative study of community broadcasting audiences completed by McNair Ingenuity (2004) and also to complete the circle of community radio stations and their audiences initiated by the first Griffith University study.

  • Hearing the Voice in New Technology
    Hearing the Voice in New Technology Michelle O’Connor In 1974, the progressive policies introduced by the Whitlam government’s media ministers, Senator Doug McLelland, and his successor, Dr Moss Cass shook up the moribund Australian media with a series of radical initiatives that aimed at enabling Australia to keep pace with global innovations such as FM broadcasting, which eventually put this nation ahead of the rest of the world. McClelland and Cass acted to open up the FM frequency band (then only being used for TV broadcasts), as part of their policy on minority and public access to the media. Realising that the Control Board’s complex and expensive licensing processes could have held up the process for years, Dr Cass exploited a loophole in the (1905) Wireless Telegraphy Act by issuing temporary experimental community broadcasting licences in each state. Community radio stations were licensed on both the AM and FM bands, ranging from the fine music stations like 2MBS and 3MBS to student stations like 4ZZZ Brisbane, to innovative broadcasters such as ethnic organisations, 2EA Sydney and 3EA Melbourne to possibly the most adventurous of all – those based on education institutions such as 5UV Adelaide, now Radio Adelaide. Deb Welch is today General Manager of one of those pioneer stations Radio Adelaide and she suggests the higher education sector was critical to the establishment of the community broadcasting sector. The educational institution could provide an operational subsidy to the station which assisted in the development of infrastructure, staffing and programming to allow community radio stations to do what they wanted to do, and said they would do.

    The Learning and Teaching Partnership of the Community Radio and Tertiary Education Sectors at Radio Adelaide, 2SER and 2MCE Michelle O’Connor Abstract Recognising the historical partnership between the community broadcasting and higher education sectors, this paper reviews the pioneer educational program Talking to New England as collaboration between the University of New England and 2SER. It also documents the contributions to learning and teaching at Charles Sturt University (CSU) over three decades by 2MCE and evaluates the potential contributions of the station to the development of new teaching resources such as educational podcasting. This paper also outlines a pilot project at CSU established to investigate whether the “explaining voice” as a style of vocal presentation closely aligned to radio broadcasting traditions, could be adopted for university audio learning. In 1974, the progressive policies introduced by the Whitlam government’s media ministers, Senator Doug McLelland, and his successor, Dr Moss Cass shook up the moribund Australian media with a series of radical initiatives that aimed at enabling Australia to keep pace with global innovations such as FM broadcasting, which eventually put this nation ahead of the rest of the world.

Executive Summary This project evaluated the potential contributions to learning and teaching at CSU afforded by radio station 2MCE-FM. The station broadcasts to Bathurst (92.3mHz) and Orange (94.7mHz), and is also available to a CSU-wide audience via an online service. In particular, the project considered the benefits of developing audio learning materials based on the notion of the ‘explaining voice’ – a style of vocal presentation closely aligned to radio broadcasting traditions. 1.1 Aims This pilot project aimed to evaluate: 1. The extent and effectiveness of any previous or current use of 2MCE-FM’s airtime and resources for learning and teaching; 2. The nature of potential uses of 2MCE-FM’s airtime and resources for learning and teaching across all campuses, particularly including online streaming and podcasting; and 3. The benefits of adopting a distinctive and effective CSU ‘sound’ for forms such as online streaming and podcasting, based on the ‘explaining voice’ style of presentation closely associated with radio broadcasting.

    Media Release 10 October 2019 Network 10 In 2020… Now You’re Talking. Love, laughs, masks, horses, scheming, cooking, dancing, jungle camping and more love. We’re not going to lie, it’s been a big year here at Network 10, and trust us when we say it’s only getting bigger in 2020. Kicking off in early January, our line-up of homegrown content across all platforms includes 10 “major franchises” (forgive the jargon), the biggest comedy shows on TV, proven local drama series, unique factual content (more jargon), innovative news and current affairs, some of the country’s most-loved sporting events and – yes – a brand new look and brand new judges for MasterChef Australia. Network 10 It’s a year-long schedule, spanning television, online, social media, podcasts and A CBS Company pretty much anywhere else people want to engage with our content. We call it “the 10 playground”. Our viewers think it’s TV as it should be. Network 10 Chief Content Officer, Beverley McGarvey, said: “A year ago we talked about cementing our position as leaders in escapist entertainment and promised we would have differentiated flagship content targeting our key target market of under 50s – 50 weeks a year. “We delivered on that promise and Australians responded. We’ve seen year-on- year TV share growth in all key demographics since August. 10 Play and 10 Daily have delivered record audience numbers. 10 All Access is an out-of-the-box success. Our 10 Speaks podcasts are winning new fans every day. “This year we’ve successfully added new, multi-platform content that will grow in the years to come, including The Masked Singer Australia, Dancing With The Stars and Five Bedrooms,” she said.
