Radio

GLOW Radio, a major new platform has been designed to amplify underrepresented local artists, has officially gone live today.

John Laws, one of the most enduring voices of Australian radio, has passed away at the age of 90, almost a year since his final broadcast.

For the first time in its entire history, Ausmusic T-Shirt Day will be championed across all of Australia’s major commercial radio networks.

The recommendation to "require yet another review is frustrating," says Annabelle Herd, CEO of PPCA, which led a campaign to remove the cap.

The document, titled “Economic Impact of Removing Radio Caps for Sound Recordings, lays out a case for the removal of those caps.

Reps from ARIA, PPCA, join Mushroom Group, and three majors to voice their support for David Pocock’s Copyright Legislation Amendment.

"A single radio station can afford to pay one broadcaster a higher annual salary than the entire music industry receives from all commercial radio stations combined."

Former radio lobbyist and previous CEO of CRA, Joan Warner, is taking on radio with a new push for artists to be paid more.

The music industry has launched a campaign and a petition, demanding artists be 'paid fairly for their music'.

The Government said expanding Double J would 'increase the discoverability of Australian artists on radio at all stages of their careers'.
