Community radio broadcasting schmozzle

I’m not sure that value proposition is going to convince too many people to listen to public/community radio.

Once again Canberra falls short of the standards set by its 2 big neighbors.

They could just send the listener a CD of recorded content every week.

Certainly, but it does require you to own and pay for a 3G capable device. And 32Kb/s for 40 minutes every day would neatly eat up all of the data on your Telstra Next G $49 cap. Too bad if you wanted to listen to a higher quality stream at four times the bitrate.

All to listen to something that you used to for free on your car’s built-in radio. I’m not sure that value proposition is going to convince too many people to listen to public/community radio.

and their listener

Ha! I see what you did there!

I meant for the listener

3G wireless can handle an audio stream pretty well.

That’s a pretty expensive way to listen to the radio

Does 88.7 broadcast off this tower? Would explain the terrible range and coverage.

Streaming doesn’t work for those who listen to a station whilst driving.
