ABC shortwave broadcasting to the Pacific to be reviewed

There's to be a review of Asia Pacific broadcasting services, as part of a wide ranging package of reforms to the country's media laws agreed to by independent Senator Nick Xenophon.

The Department of Communications and the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade are to conduct a review, including examining whether shortwave radio technology should be used.

The review will include public consultation and the report will be made public.


Senator Nick Xenophon has been strenuously opposed to the decision by the ABC to end shortwave services, and he was a key crossbench figure in negotiations over the media reforms." (Posted by the ABC 9 hours ago).
