(brought over from the British radio thread)
I agree. having experienced both British radio (in London) and Aussie Radio there is one big glaring difference - the formats in Australia are all the bloody same, even on DAB. how many 90’s stations do we need.
London DAB is innovative and attempts to grow the listening market. for example, Rainbow Radio (catering to LGBT listeners) and Various foreign language stations in languages like Punjabi.
No broadcaster wants to take a risk here with a format that’s out of the ordinary. Where is the innovation and diversification?
