The Australian reports community broadcasting’s digital radio shortfall story that radioinfo broke last year: A funding shortfall in this year’s budget is putting at risk the transition to digital broadcasting for many of Australia’s community radio stations, including Koori Radio, 3RRR and FBi. Despite an alleged commitment from Communications Minister Stephen Conroy last year to fully fund the transition to digital, a $1.4 million cut in the May budget will stall the project and leave community radio in what its supporters have called the technological dark ages.
