With digital radio landing in cities across Australia in May this year, it seems the
future is at our fingertips.The new technology offers pictures and text, and pause and
rewind options, as well as many other possibilities.But the community sector has been
given less than a third of the broadcasting space allowed to commercial and national
radio stations, meaning the advantages of the digital age could be almost non-existent.
Now Sydney’s community stations must figure out the best way to make use of the digital
leftovers.
Don’t know if anyone has used it before, but I find the use of ‘digital leftover’ very appropriate in this case…
