datacast channels can’t carry radio programs, it seems?
Each datacasting licence is subject to the condition that the licensee will not transmit matter that, if it were broadcast on a commercial radio broadcasting service, would be a designated radio program.
Fair point, but you needn’t transmit it at full HD. 480p would probably suffice. Let’s face it, who wants to see Hadley’s face in HD, his head looks like a beaten favourite.
That can be changed if you suck up to the communications minister enough.
TBH I don’t think it’s worth anyone’s time or effort. There’s enough radio apps and streaming available that people can already listen to radio stations from wherever.
Breen, who was doing an outside broadcast from Suncorp Stadium, told his audience just after 4pm on Friday (May 5) he’d given the job three of his best years, but it was time to return to his family in Sydney.
He then played the song My Home Town by his favourite artist, Bruce Springsteen, stressing afterwards that Brisbane would always be home to him.
I’m certain it will. Drive is a key shift and to network it would totally undermine the much talked about ‘local’ strategy that Nine promotes for all its talk stations. There are several possible replacements around - or it could be somebody completely unexpected
I’m sure 4BC would be ecstatic if he said he was interested. And yes, he would be excellent as he always is. However, my sense is that he regards himself as being semi-retired now and his interest in being back on the radio, after several years away from it, doesn’t really extend beyond doing some fill-ins, like he did on afternoons over summer
I dare say it’s probably the first time KAK has hosted a show on 2GB since she hosted afternoons for a year in 2001, the year prior to Alan & Ray jumping from 2UE to 2GB and Chris Smith moving from behind the scenes to hosting afternoons.
