It looks like the council gave the a grant so they have rebranded and made a new website. This was from Bay fm FB page "Bay FM 100.3 is grateful for the grant given to us, through the
“Mayor and Councillor’s Community Benefit Fund”. This grant has enabled us to develop
and release a new website, including new branding and a whole new look."
Anyone whose station isn’t on iHeart can register here: Submit Your Community Radio Station to iHeartRadio | Community Broadcasting Association of Australia
Being on iHeart is free if you take up the stream hosting package from the CBAA.
It’s free even if you have another stream host. You just need to meet some basic technical parameters.
Some kind of work going on with 88.5 2RRR late this morning.
First RDS disappeared.
Then audio & stereo carrier.
Now TX off from 12.07pm.
Now back on air a few minutes later.
RDS Encoder programming lost, no PS & PI showing as 5200.
Now all back to normal 15 mins later 
A bit of shameless self promotion, but here’s some pics and info about my recent studio upgrade work at 2GLF.

89.9 Pulse FM Hawkesbury off-air at the moment.
Did they suffer storm damage this arvo?
They were still sounding awful when I scanned the dial last night. Being off air for a bit could be a good thing.
Switch Brisbane excluded from Transurban tunnels.
Getting metro community radio stations into tunnels has been difficult in Sydney too. I don’t think there’s a legislative requirement, and the tunnel operators barely know retransmission exists let alone how to add another station into the existing system. If you find the right people and hassle them for long enough, you might get added when they next do a hardware refresh (which is maybe every 10+ years? 
).
The good news for Switch is that they’re on DAB+, and that should be retransmitted into all the tunnels.
As far as I’m aware none of the tunnels in Brisbane retransmit DAB+
Nope they don’t have DAB in any of the tunnels and no 1197 is not retransmitted in the tunnels and this has been the case since the beginning as far as i am aware
Lucky I said ‘should be’, not ‘is’ 
But that’s insane. Why is DAB+ not in any of the tunnels? Do the commercials not care? 
I guess they feel it’s not worth the investment, given DAB hasn’t set the world on fire here.
To answer both those, I’m not sure the commercial stations in Sydney overly care whether DAB+ is rebroadcast in the tunnels or not, so I can’t see why they would be any different in Brisbane.
If you have trouble getting the community broadcasters into the Sydney tunnels, then you’ve been talking to the wrong people, though money & being worthwhile will be a factor.
The Tunnel operators 100% know retransmission exists & how to add another station, the tunnel operators/owners are the ones who install, maintain, & operate the rebroadcast systems, they have nothing at all to do with any broadcasters, Commercial, National or Community.
Yes there is legislation about rebroadcast systems in tunnels for safety, but for smaller community stations, the tunnel operators have to weigh up costs to rebroadcast a station, over how many listeners they might miss out on getting safety info to over the rebroadcast system if they don’t have that station as part of it, & the same goes for DAB.
DAB may be getting close to the listener levels to make it worthwhile to rebroadcast in tunnels & meet the safety requirements, but probably not for most smaller community stations, as there’s probably more people listening to old school CD’s or streaming Spotify or using iPod style music player going through the tunnels, than listening to smaller community stations like Switch 1197.
I recall discussion that the Legacy Way tunnel has community station 101.1 from Logan (when it can’t be easily received in that area)
We do have a topic for radio in tunnels.
How do override tunnel emergency messages work with DAB? Does they need to simulate the configuration of the original muxes to get radios to switch over seamlessly given the number of different programmes on each mux?
The ACMA has registered a new community radio broadcasting code of practice, establishing an updated set of rules about what can and can’t be played on community radio.
The code was developed by the Community Broadcasting Association of Australia (CBAA). It is the first broadcasting industry code to be registered since the ACMA asked all industry bodies to review their codes in 2022.
ACMA Chair Nerida O’Loughlin has welcomed the new code and its strengthened community safeguards.
“The new community radio code is the result of substantial work undertaken by CBAA over several years. The ACMA acknowledges the highly collaborative way the review was undertaken and the broader community broadcasting sector’s commitment to the development of the code.
“We are particularly pleased to see stronger protections around news content on community radio, including requirements for impartiality and for reporters to take special care where facts may be contested and not settled,” Ms O’Loughlin said.
Under the new code community radio broadcasters are also committed to align their programming decisions with contemporary community standards, prioritise First Nations voices when reporting on or discussing First Nations issues, and strengthen complaints-handling processes.
The ACMA expects all broadcasters to regularly update their rules to reflect changing broadcasting practices and contemporary audience expectations. This includes providing safeguards to those accessing their content in new ways.
“We remain of the view that it is high time that the broadcasting industry voluntarily extend their rules to cover all TV- and radio-like content they make available online. This would ensure audiences benefit from the same safeguards, regardless of how they access the content,” Ms O’Loughlin said.
The new community radio broadcasting code will commence on 1 July 2025. The existing code will remain active until that time.
The new community radio code is available at: https://www.acma.gov.au/industry-codes-practice
https://www.acma.gov.au/publications/2024-10/rules/community-radio-broadcasting-codes-practice-2025
The ACMA has approved the revised Community Radio Broadcasting Codes of Practice 2025.
The ACMA has registered the revised Community Radio Broadcasting Codes of Practice 2025 (the Codes).
The new Codes will not come into force until July 1, 2025. The Community Radio Broadcasting Codes of Practice 2008 version remains in force until this date.
We thank our members for contributions to updating the Codes which helped us make the Codes more clear, and easier for your staff and volunteers to comply with.
The CBAA will support stations to ensure staff and volunteers understand the changes before they come into effect on July 1, 2025. We are already working on training and guidance materials to support all broadcasters understand and comply with the Codes.
The new Codes will be accompanied by practical easy-to-use guidance material to help each station check off the things it needs to do to comply with the new Codes. This guidance material will provide templates for policies, processes to follow and suggestions for best practice.
