An idea to group all common stations together across the cities.
AM to FM conversions:
- All ABC/SBS stations to FM.
- All city-wide community stations to FM.
- All commercial stations to FM in Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth (not Sydney and Melbourne).
Interesting points:
- The existing 0.8Mhz spacing and current allocation in each of the five cities remains. This avoids having to immediately re-plan surrounding regional areas.
- Nova becomes Nova 100 across Australia!
- All SCA stations nationwide are now found between 104.1 and 105.5.
- If the grouping of the ABC stations can be replicated nationwide they can take a similar approach to the way BBC do IDs. eg. “You’re listening to Triple J - 92FM” or “Radio National 90 to 91FM”.
- Community stations are grouped to the similar frequencies in all cities. ie. Ethnic radio is 99.3 to 99.9 , Christian radio is 103.3 to 103.9, Indigenous radio is 98.5 to 99.1.
