SCOOP APRIL 1 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. All shifts including mid-dawns are going to have to an announcer live to air with stations having a minimum number of 6 daytime jocks. The move will send shockwaves across the industry and station bean counters to the drycleaners. Our source for this item was Issie Joshing.

I heard Bill Caralis almost had a heart seizure upon hearing this on Thursday morning. Just imagine all of those people currently driving cabs, stuck in call centres etc etc who should be on air right around this fair country. Radio might just sound a little more realistic if the jock was returned to his/her rightful place. Long live live, long live local! Cheers Fergs

The station expected to be hit the hardest is PH (Parliament House) FM.. where a number of autobots have been hosting key portfolio shows for the past few years.
A spokesperson has assured listeners that the station's theme track INXS - Original Spin, will still feature prominately. - April 3, 2010 at 2:00 AM
