We broadcast to six major communities and 30 homelands in northeast Arnhem Land as well as Darwin and Palmerston. Our music is carefully selected offering a blend of Murri, Country, Contemporary and new music. It is the first Indigenous radio station in a capital city and offers a great blend of country and Indigenous music. It first went to air on April 6, Due to strong community interest volunteers devoted their time to create an indigenous media organisation to promote an awareness of indigenous culture and issues to both indigenous and non indigenous listeners.
Radio 4US This includes 'the deadliest music', stories and acting as a voice for the community. In , the committee obtained a licence after 3 years of planning and negotiating to establish Radio 4US. In the year of , the studios were completed. Later in , the station was then transferred out to The Dreamtime Cultural Centre' where it is located now.
Since then the station has been rockin' it up with its own blend of deadly tunes and local Townsville news. Since that time Umeewarra Media has grown into the modern digital media centre that we have today. We have an Aboriginal Board of Management that ensures we have community ownership of our programming. BAMA was launched in after ten years of community discussion about the need for an Indigenous media service for the rapidly growing town of Broome.
Over the past 22 years, GME has transitioned from a traditional media service to a broader training and capacity building organisation with a vision to close the gap for all Indigenous peoples across the Kimberley region. NME is an organisation which provides Noongar people the opportunity to have their voices heard through radio broadcasts in the Perth metropolitan area. From its very visible studios at Beaufort St in Perth, NME is committed to the broadcast of positive, informed, empowering programming which support and promote the achievements and aspirations of the Noongar community it serves.
This service enables the sharing of news, information, special broadcast events, music and stories by all the indigenous radio stations in the region and is retransmitted full time in 18 remote communities, scattered over a million square kilometres, with an audience in excess of 5, The Radio Station is particularly important for the Indigenous people of the region, with news, community messages and announcements regularly broadcast in Kriol or the traditional local languages.
The station also encourages broadcasting of Indigenous music. From the former office and studios were refurbished and extended in order to allow an internal reception area with limited office space and importantly, the construction of a small staff flat. Previous managerial staff had been forced at times to camp on site in a caravan when other accommodation in the town was not available.
We also play a positive role in creating and developing projects that promote aboriginal culture, language, music and arts. Radio MAMA Works with other community organisations to deliver their message, helping them promote their services and activities.
In the s Wireless Weekly had run photographs of listeners gathered around a cumbersome radio set at Manly beach; now, at last, the industry could stop fretting about the problem of 'summer radio' as the Top 40 format was heard drifting over beaches all weekend. News, weather and traffic reports improved. Many commercial stations embraced 'actuality' broadcasts, with reporters like Macquarie's Brian White who in had become Australian commercial radio's first cadet journalist using telephones for broadcasting descriptions of news events and on-the-spot interviews.
In the late s, 2GB set out to become Sydney radio's first 'helicopter eye in the sky' with the backing of a sponsor. The success of 'conversation' programs in the United States demonstrated to Australian radio executives that the telephone had other uses. In Australia's Broadcasting Program Standards were amended to allow the recording and rebroadcasting of telephone calls. From Sydney radio presenters such as Pearce and 2UE's Ormsby Wilkins could legally host 'dial-in' programs, and were joined by a new generation of talkback hosts, including a former disc jockey, John Laws.
The rise of talkback radio ushered in a new generation of less authoritarian and more accessible religious broadcasters, such as 2SM's Father Jim McLaren, sometimes complemented by off-air counselling services.
If traditional religious programming was in decline due to commercial pressures and changing social mores, so was foreign-language broadcasting. But by the early s, such programs were disappearing from the commercial airwaves as managements looked to appeal to general, rather than special interest, audiences.
The Whitlam and Fraser governments shook up the Australian broadcasting landscape with a range of measures, opening the way for the long-overdue introduction of FM radio beginning with a fine music community station, 2MBS-FM and ethnic community radio.
In , after years of planning, Keith Graham and Mike Webb launched Sydney's first new commercial station in nearly half a century. Focusing on soft rock, with studios at Blacktown, 2WS set out to lure the growing listening and advertising markets of western Sydney. In , 2MMM topped the ratings in Sydney. An increasingly competitive atmosphere prompted a range of radio stunts. When 2SM announced, in , that it was going to 'take a jumbo under the Harbour Bridge' listeners crammed the Harbour expecting to see spectacular aerial acrobatics; instead what they saw was an elephant on a barge.
With its superior sound quality and appeal to younger audiences, FM radio came to be associated with music and comedy, and AM radio with news and talk. AM stations such as 2GB and 2UE increasingly vied for success by signing up talkback hosts with strong, sometimes confected, opinions. In the late s, legislative changes to ownership rules, a stock-market crash and a frenzy of interest in the media sector saw more than half of Australia's metropolitan commercial radio stations change hands, sometimes at ridiculous prices, and the entry of foreign players.
After the Triple M group merged with Austereo, Thompson was not idle for long. The safest source of advertising revenue for FM stations came to be seen as to year-olds. Station managements competed for this audience through on-air personalities rather than on the basis of innovative music content.

After the Murdoch purchase, an associated company, Regional Newspapers Pty Ltd, offered to buy Anglican Press Ltd, which was in receivership, and its principals were authorised by the receiver to enter the Anglican premises in Chippendale.

Owners of Sydney and Melbourne television licences meet to plan strategy to gain control of new licences to be issued in other capitals—that is, to participate in networking arrangements.
They fail to reach agreement on how this would operate. The Government announces the extension of the ABC and commercial television services to other capital cities. With regards to award of television licences for Brisbane and Adelaide due to occur in , the ABCB recommends that newspapers owners with interests in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide should not be allowed to own the new television licences as it considers such concentration would not be in the public interest.
