Australia’s Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital
Economy Senator Stephen Conroy, announced that people in rural and
remote Australia can now listen to an expanded range of ABC radio
services.
“This is great news for people living outside our major cities, who
from today can listen to a wider range of ABC radio stations via the
Viewer Access Satellite Television (VAST) platform,” Senator Conroy
said.
“For the first time, people living outside our capital cities will be
able to listen to the ABC’s digital-only radio channels: Dig, ABC
Country, ABC Jazz, ABC Digital Extra, ABC Grandstand and triple J
Unearthed.”
“The new ABC services, along with the existing SBS radio services,
mean people will have access to more radio stations. This is another
step that the Government is taking to close the gap in radio and TV
services that has long existed between the cities and the bush.” he
added.
