This “cash for comment” thing just won’t go away. Yet another condition has been placed on 2UE’s licence this week, while in Adelaide Leon Byner’s made front page news in The ‘Tiser for all the wrong reasons (see the stories in News and Paper Clips). And even though the council has acquitted him and the mayor of any wrong doing, the ABA may have a different interpretation and be less lenient.

Where will it all end? There are plenty of radio people who consult all sorts of organisations on media. Should they all be investigated? Or only those who make the newspaper headlines?

How many sporting personalities have an allegiance to a particular club where they’re also employed in some capacity? Almost every station with a sports show has at least one. Strictly speaking, should they be next in the ABA’s sights? Or are these totally different circumstances to the Byner case?

And what about TV Current Affairs programs – should The ABA look into their dealings in the same way as it has probed radio?

Or tell us about anything else to do with radio that’s on your mind this week.
