Resources For Radio (2010)

Wed, 28 Apr 2010 01:18:41 +0000

A continuation of the 2009 ‘Digital Convergence’ project. Onto It Media and Triple R Melbourne are consulting with Australia’s community radio makers to discover what stations have got, what stations want, and what stations need. We’re adding our findings to an online catalogue – www.resourcesforradio.com – so all community radio makers can share and discover resources for radio.

The catalogue is interactive so users can ask questions about each resource, tell us what they want, or what they’ve got.

Digital Convergence (2009)

Wed, 28 Apr 2010 01:17:13 +0000

The project identified software being developed by Australian community radio stations that could be useful for other stations. Nine software projects were identified within the sector and surveys were issued to stations asking them (a) which resources they were most interested in getting access too (b) Whether they were willing to back the developers to complete their software projects by providing letters of support (for grant applications) and/or provide financial investment and (c) if prepared to back financially, how much would their station be prepared to invest.

Survey results were collated and provided to the community broadcasting foundation and stations that were developing software to encourage them to develop software for wider sector use. To date four of the software resources identified have received grant funding for further development, and two are being competed solely through station investment.

The ‘mobile Broadcasting for Community Radio’ manual outlined a number of ways station can use Australia’s new 3G telecommunications networks to stream audio from remote locations. The manual demonstrated the considerable financial savings stations could achieve through using new internet based streaming technology over traditional outside broadcast hardware and telecommunications lines. It contains a step-by-step guide on setting up a broadcast using mobile technology. It also contained reviews on road-test products and internet services.
