Contemporary Australian Music Radio: Formats and Products
The Australian radio industry has undergone significant regulatory and industrial change since the 1980s. This project provides the first comprehensive analysis of how key Australian music radio programs and stations use pop and rock music to attract and maintain audiences. It documents how and what forms of music are distributed, and the formation of particular audiences, stations and advertisers. The music format itself is taken as a key source of engagement between station, advertiser and audience. Examining the public, community and commercial sectors, it will produce new ways of understanding the role of music formats, and their importance to the viability of the Australian music industry in the production/promotion of new artists.
