Australia's enthusiasm for community radio is on the rise, with latest survey results indicating that over 5.3 million listeners are tuning in each week. With 29% of these listeners rating Australian music among their top reasons for tuning in, radio program makers are in prime position to share their passion for local songs. Amrap is an essential link between the radio and music sector, providing distribution and website services to help both sectors thrive. Over 3,000 program makers from 300 stations use Amrap's music distribution service AirIt to find new releases for airplay. More than 1,000 use Amrap Pages to log their airplay lists and promote artists through station websites and social media. In this series, a broadcaster and a musician highlight the amazing support that community radio gives to Australian artists.
