Community Broadcasting is Australia’s third media sector. It is made up of over 300 broadcasting outlets, including radio and television stations and remote Indigenous services.
The CBOnline Project collects information on the activities of these diverse and dynamic stations, helping inform the public about the valuable role they play in our communities and encouraging the exchange of information within the sector itself. More...
The Community Broadcasting Association of Australia (CBAA) is seeking a CBOnline Manager to co-ordinate national station and audience data collection and develop user friendly and engaging online websites and databases to showcase results to government, listeners, sector organisations and the wider public.
The latest Community Broadcasting Database (CBD) report was released in November 2009. The report, Community Broadcast Database: Survey of the Community Radio Sector, 2007-08 Financial Period, provides a summary of data collected from Australian community radio stations about their activities over the 2007-08 financial period.
Despite a strong pre-Budget Vision 2015 campaign by the CBAA and the sector no additinal funding was secured. A full rundown of the Budget outcome is provided here.
