Future Delivery of Radio Services in Australia

The CBAA, after consulting with members, Sector Representative Organisations and key stakeholders has made a submission to the ACMA's Future Delivery of Radio Services consultation paper, and is now available to read! Thank you to everyone who provided input into the process.

The CBAA's submission emphasised that any changes to legislation, regulation or how services are broadcast must continue to enshrine key principles for the public good: that there is diversity in terms of media ownership and control, and that a mix of broadcast services remain free-to-receive. We put forward positions in support of options for extending digital radio, and mechanisms to support the future of free-to-air radio in the digital age.
