The ABC states in its submission to the Senate hearing into the proposed Xenophon amendment to the ABC Act that would force the ABC to restore SW services that only 20 people in the NT have contacted them about loosing the service. The ABC claims that most of the population in isolated areas are listening to ABC NT Local Radio on VAST. The ABC also states that the NT SW broadcasts were only ever for the NT and any reception outside the territory was fortuitous.
