Judging by past conduct of Tully Sugar, I very much doubt they understand nor care about this. Another cost of business to them. I’m sure they have their eye on the balance sheet if the stations switched to the abyss of 2SM network programming and clients dropped their airtime. Thank you @TV.Cynic for adding this to the discussion. ---

Agree @AustralianAerial, that strange line wasn’t lost on me either. It’s peculiar to say the least and from what I can gather, it’s a line from Tully Sugar’s submission. ACMA’s external comms staff experience seems to be as equally decimated as the staff in planning and field operations. It’s clear the writer isn’t experienced with such releases and the fundamentals of attribution and quotes. ---

Copied from a Facebook post. See below 👇 Some good news from Flow FM. The network has completed installation of the 93.9FM service at Bunnaloo in the Murray electorate. This means Moama to Morago, Blighty to Barham and Perricoota to Pretty Pine can hear Flow FM. This adds to 88.7 coverage north of Berrigan to Jerilderie and 96.9 coverage at Wentworth in the Far South West. Flow was successful in receiving NSW Government funding for services in Lake Cargelligo which will get coverage into Hillston and to the Wallanthery and Lake Brewster areas. ---

Great news! Looks like their stream is now back too! I gather no news on 101.5 Lake Cargelligo. Would be good to see them in Bourke too on their allocated 102.5 since Breeze and Rebel left town. ---

Interesting! I didn’t know Central Darling was proposed. I will have to dig into the ACMA site and suss out their frequencies. I couldn’t find a map like that on their website (which looks very basic). Where did you see that? ---

Meanwhile the eastern/northern Flinders Ranges districts in SA still await the 88.7 Hawker and 101.3 Wilmington services that were approved nearly 10 years ago and are on the ACMA register but for some reason have never made it to air. So to hear they’re expanding rapidly into NSW and VIC while not completing their designated SA coverage is a tad disappointing. This is of particular significance now that 5AU has left the AM band so basically a moderate to fringe signal of 5CS is all you get in these areas commercial-wise (minus the low powered FM repeaters in the Quorn township). ---

I remember those ones! Thanks for posting. Interesting that 93.9 and 101.5 were proposed to be on air 8-9 years ago but are only now in progress. And 90.5 in the Alpine region isn’t on air yet either! ---

Where in the Mid North does The Bluff FM coverage stop? How far north do you have to go? Appreciate @Weeman88 for for insight of raising this. Was there a problem with the 5AU mast?

> [@crankymedia](#): > > Where in the Mid North does The Bluff FM coverage stop? You can get some reception of the Bluff FM’s at Yunta Same at Woomera 5AU’s TX site was ok it never really got out very well due to the ground conductivity, also the transmitters were a bit sad 5CS on the other hand… the building was nearly condemned. I’d say Grant’s went FM for the extra revenue… its really hard selling AM in a town of mostly FM’s ---
