Adam Lang says it's all in the execution

Projections by PwC for DAB+ digital radio show that nearly 60% of new vehicles sold in Australia in 2021 will be fitted with a digital radio, forecasting nearly double the number of current new vehicles fitted with the technology.  

PwC projects that close to 4 million new vehicles fitted with DAB+ will be sold by the end of 2021, up from 862,426 at the end of 2016.

Commercial Radio Australia (CRA) released the PwC forecast today and announced DAB+ digital only station listening figures would now be distributed eight times a year. 

Perth radio station News Talk 6PR 882 has announced changes to the on-air line-up for 2017.

Joan Warner and Adam Lang have opened the National Radio Conference in Melbourne.

Adam Lang began his opening remarks by paying tribute to Rebecca Wilson, who passed away overnight, then talked about his passion for radio.
 
“We all share the same passion for radio,” said Lang.
 
“Radio thrives on… we have the courage to innovate, sometimes to fail, but many times to win.

One of the first cost efficiencies, following the long anticipated merger between Fairfax and Macquarie, was put into effect in the newsrooms of 2GB and 2UE in Sydney.

Keen listeners would have noticed that suddenly the voices of once rival 2GB personalities, including Alan Jones and Ray Hadley, would now be regularly heard in 2UE news bulletins - an efficient way of sharing high value content such as interviews between sister stations, even though they’re in the same market.

"Commercial aspects are part and parcel of all our programming decisions": Adam Lang

Tucked away in a dark corner of 2GB’s program schedule at 10 pm on Saturday Nights was, until recently, an innocuous little lifestyle show aimed at the caravan, camping and 4WD crowd. And, so that the target audience would be in no doubt as to what the show was about, they called it The Caravan, Camping and 4WD Show.

Veteran announcer John Blackman has shown the door at Melbourne’s Magic 1278.

As foreshadowed earlier this week on radioinfo, there is a shake up of management positions taking place inside the newly formed Macquarie Media company.
