On The Dial: Mobile Networks don’t replace Free Radio; Baggs to Anchor KIIS 101.1; Endersby joins 6IX Perth
Mobile Networks are great but not a replacement for Free Radio
Commercial Radio Australia has released a report by Professor Reg Coutts finding that mobile broadband networks, particularly in regional areas, are not a replacement for free to air radio.
CRA chief executive officer, Joan Warner said: “There are a lot of misperceptions around the future of broadcast radio, mobile networks and the delivery of radio online and this report shows it may not yet, or even in the longer term, be technically or financially viable”.
With the submission of the Digital Radio Discussion Paper to the Federal Government earlier this year, the commercial radio industry commissioned respected telecommunications expert, Professor Reg Coutts of Coutts Communications, to analyse the use of mobile telecommunications to deliver free to air broadcast radio in Australia. It compares the reality of technical capability of both broadcast radio and mobile networks for mass live and local free to air radio delivery.
