<br />
Beating a staggering 1,065 bands that entered the competition through www.novafm.com.au , The Touch won $10,000 as well as national airplay on Nova stations to help them along their journey to stardom. <more><br />
<br />
Combining interlocking riffs of television with the electronic dance sounds of Bloc Party, The Touch was shortlisted by an industry-judging panel as one of the top ten bands in Australia. <br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
The public then voted for their top five bands which played special shows and encouraged as many fans to sign up to their profile page at www.novafm.com.au to help them win.<br />
<br />
The Touch frontman Josh Moore says that the win will help open a lot of doors for the band and the money may go towards the release and distribution of an upcoming untitled EP. <br />
<br />
“We’re very thankful for the opportunity that Nova gave us, you don’t often get a launchpad into the general public like that so we’re stoked – we’d like to thank everyone who voted and got behind us for the competition,” he says.<br />
<br />
“We’ll now get the exposure that we want and it gives us a little bit more freedom to do what we want music wise.”<br />
<br />
Nova 919’s Adelaide Show DJ Troy J Been says Adelaide might not have the population of Sydney or Melbourne, but the city had the talent and creativity to take on the best in the country.<br />
<br />
“There’s really something going on in Adelaide! We’re absolutely ecstatic that The Touch has been recognised at a national level,” he says.<br />
<br />
“You’ve only got to see Josh and the boys live once to see they’ve got what it takes! You’ll definitely be hearing a lot more from The Touch – we love ‘em!”Radio Newshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15045998475697875944noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2077691161242205417.post-5155036555553776132010-04-01T00:22:00.000-07:002010-04-03T05:42:20.500-07:00ACMA declares no more automation<strong>SCOOP APRIL 1</strong> The ACMA will this morning issue a press release announcing that commercial radio stations are and have been in breach of their licensing conditions if they provide automated programming including where the air shift is networked from a sister station or interstate source.

After the footy the guys will be crashing out at the Novotel… in Manly! <br/>So that the ladies aren’t missing out, Ricki-Lee will be taking the winners’ sheilas out to lunch far away from the male shenanigans.<br/>To score an invite to the “Man Trip” Nova 969 listeners will need to prove that they’re more of a man than Ricki-Lee – by beating her in a Man Quiz. If the listener gets the question right before Ricki-Lee they will be deemed man enough to go along… get the answer wrong and all they’ll get is a stubby holder.<br/><br/> <br/><br/>“Honestly this is a thinly veiled attempt at me getting a leave pass and using work as an excuse. It’s pathetic but it’s worth it. I can’t wait!” said Merrick Watts.<br/><br/> <br/><br/>Andrew “Marto” Martin can also hardly believe his luck, “So let’s get this straight – there’s fishing, go-karting, golf and a night at the footy right?

Initial predictions were up to 50,000 receivers sold in the first 12 months. Permanent high power digital radio services have only been on air for a short time and we are very pleased with these initial results,” Ms Warner said.<br/><br/>“The report gives us a basis on which to work for the continued marketing, promotion, development and growth of digital radio across Australia,” Ms Warner said.<br/><br/>The main findings from recent consumer research** commissioned by CRA show:<br/>• 63% of Australians are aware that DAB+ digital radio has launched in Australia<br/>• 38% of people in metropolitan areas are likely to purchase a digital radio in the next 12 months. <br/>• 80% of people who own a digital radio would recommend it to a friend<br/>• 69% of people who own a digital radio believe it has delivered on expectations<br/>• 74% of people are willing to spend between $50-$200 for a digital radio device<br/>• 71% of digital radio owners purchased for the digital quality sound<br/><br/>Platform of listening was introduced to the industry’s radio audience measurement system in January 2009 to track listening on analogue radio devices, DAB+ digital radio devices and via the internet.<br/><br/>In Survey 1, 2010, in an average week nearly 95% of people in the five state capital cities listened to radio. Of those, 3.7% people listened to radio via the DAB+ digital radio platform and radio listening via the internet was 4.2%. <br/><br/>Radio listening on the internet attracted a slightly higher cumulative audience (504,000) than digital radio but the time spent listening on the DAB+ digital platform is higher at 8 hours and 16 minutes each week, compared to the internet listening at 5 hours and 31 minutes.<br/><br/>“We have to remember digital radio is a new technology, the internet has been available as an alternative way to listen to broadcast radio for many years and already digital radio time spent listening is greater than time spent listening via the internet platform,” Ms Warner said.<br/><br/>The report also shows that radio broadcasters have launched up to 16 new DAB+ only services in each market. Of all the people listening on the DAB+ platform, 20% were listening to the new DAB+ only stations launched by broadcasters.<br/><br/>“This industry data is obviously being made available very early in the life of digital radio but the industry is keen to ensure that data in relation to digital radio was measured from the outset of the technology so that we can look back in ten years and see how far we’ve come,” Ms Warner said. <br/><br/>“There are areas for further work like the introduction of digital radio into all cars as standard and the roll-out of digital radio to regional areas so all Australians can access this great medium. The industry will work hard to ensure these next steps come to fruition,” Ms Warner said.Radio Newshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15045998475697875944noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2077691161242205417.post-62037425422216040702010-03-21T01:34:00.000-07:002010-04-03T05:42:11.848-07:00Mal Garvin The ultimate betrayalSource The Age: IN JANUARY last year, Mal Garvin was awarded the Order of Australia for ''service to the community'' and for ''the development of social welfare programs that support and guide young people, and as a broadcaster and author''.<br/><br/>Garvin, well-known in Melbourne a decade ago for his weekly religious radio broadcasts, is an evangelist who founded a youth program called Fusion in the 1960s.

GECC, which has been operating a service known as 94.7 The Pulse under a temporary licence, will provide a long-term community broadcasting service on the 94.7 MHz FM frequency. <br/><br/>‘We feel this is a positive outcome for the Geelong community,’ said ACMA Chairman, Chris Chapman <a name='more'></a><br/><br/>‘GECC has provided a temporary community broadcasting service since 2004 and it is quite evident that GECC has benefited from this experience.’ <br/><br/>GECC will use the 56 kW licence to provide a community broadcasting service to meet the general community interest in the Geelong RA1 licence area. <br/><br/>GECC was the only applicant for the long-term community broadcasting licence. There are already two long-term community broadcasting services available in Geelong: 3GPH serving the print handicapped community interest and 3GGR serving the Christian community interest.Radio Newshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15045998475697875944noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2077691161242205417.post-2917918090776840442010-03-15T15:47:00.000-07:002010-04-03T05:42:11.588-07:00Neil Mitchell Law and Order survey<strong>Source 3AW</strong>:This item will also appear on our sister site <a href="http://www.palsforjustice.com">People Against Lenient Sentencing.</a> Law and Order will be a major issue in this coming state election and 3AW's Neil Mitchell wants to know what you think on this hot topic.<br/><br/>Today on the Mitchell Program, Neil announced he is surveying Melbourne to obtain a snapshot of what you really think on Law and Order.<br/><br/>This morninRadio Newshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15045998475697875944noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2077691161242205417.post-64011520151839403612010-03-14T14:06:00.000-07:002010-04-03T05:42:11.414-07:00Melbourne's own 3DB oops 3AWWith 3AW now referring to themselves as <strong> Melbourne's Own </strong> you may find yourself asking - 'where have I heard that before?'<br/><br/>If you said when Bert Newton was in charge of 3DB you would right. <br/><br/>Between 1986 and 1988 the station was known as Melbourne's own 3DB, the new beginning.
