I agree with you.

But I’d just be happy with a soft AC and a proper rock station (like Rebel) on FM in Brisbane for example. Having to rely on fringe stations for such basic formats in a major metro market inducates a complete failure of the regulatory environment.

There isn’t a proper full time rock station on FM in Sydney or Melbourne and that’s a complete joke too.

The country doesn’t have a BBC R2 format despite R2 being the most listened to station in western Europe.

I could go on, but it’s depressing…

In Australia we don’t even have the mainstream formats covered, let alone niche formats.
