What radio services are the ABC and SBS offering?
The ABC is keen to use digital spectrum to transmit national radio services more widely throughout Australia. Parliamentary News Network and Triple J, for example, cannot be received by many people in regional Australia and could be transmitted via digital television when it is rolled out to regional Australia from 2004. The ABC will assess the demand for radio services via digital television and the competing priorities for spectrum to determine whether this is a cost-effective use of resources. SBS is broadcasting two of its multilingual radio programs across Australia on all its digital television services.
