    The Manager Broadcasting Carriage Policy Section Australian Communications and Media Authority PO Box 78 Belconnen ACT 2616 Expansion of digital radio to regional Australia: Proposed principles for licence area deeming. Response to ACMA issues paper – Brendon Agpasa August 2020 Introduction The radio broadcasters and Federal Communications Minister Paul Fletcher MP welcomes the opportunity to respond to the ACMA’s issues paper, Expansion of digital radio to regional Australia: Proposed principles for licence area deeming. This submission has been informed by consultation with national, commercial, community, narrowcast and narrowband radio licensees, Sector Representative Organisations, other sector bodies, key stakeholders and many others to provide digital radio channel plans. Background National, commercial, community, narrowcast and narrowband radio stations do more than deliver audio entertainment and information to audiences across Australia. The ABC, SBS, Commercial Radio Australia, CBAA, and ANRA appreciates that the ACMA is seeking feedback on digital radio rollout was granted the new DAB+ and Digital Radio Mondiale rollout for over a four-year period. Across Australia the costs of transmission via analogue radio will be reinvested in extending DAB+ and DRM rollout to regional, sub-metropolitan, remote and rural areas, as well as Australian island territories and surrounding regions. Digital radio has broadcasting in the licence areas of Sydney, Canberra, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide, Hobart, Darwin and Perth, while the ACMA is looking up for facilitating the digital radio rollout in regional areas where licensees make the commercial decision that they wish to offer the new services. New digital radio services will be allocated on a frequency blocks being 8A, 8B, 8C, 8D, 9A, 9B, 9C and 9D will be available for allotment in each licence area to multiplexes carrying national, commercial, community, narrowcast and narrowband services.
