Digital Left-Overs?


Community Radio short-changed in digital switchover
February 28, 2009 04:35 AM PST
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.
