Music Programming
One of the guiding principles of the community broadcasting sector is our commitment to support and develop local music. The Codes of Practice state that stations are required to play a certain percentage of Australian music, but many stations go above and beyond this mandate.
Community broadcasters are renowned for supporting new, local, independent and particularly Australian music. Many musicians have had their first airplay and interviews on our stations. We are in a unique position to play and engage with a broad range of musical styles. Our support of the music industry and diverse music played is one of the key reasons people listen to community radio.
