The University of Technology Sydney (UTS) and Macquarie University have appointed Martin Walters as Managing Director of radio station 2SER.
 
Walters has been working in broadcasting for 20 years and joins 2SER from a leadership role at the CBAA where he managed its national programming service, the Community Radio Network (CRN).
 
 This role included establishing multimedia content projects and leading a digital transition process.
 

After 8 years on the CBAA board, Natalie Pozdeev stepped aside from her role this year and looked back on how Community radio has changed in the past decade and on the bigger role women are now taking in the sector.
 

Last week came the announcement that the CRA and would be joining the BBC and NAB to put radio front and centre in car audio with DTS Connected Radio.
 
All in Media (AIM), part of the Xperi family, will assist in the development and radioinfo was able to ask AIM’s Senior Digital Producer, Richard Phelps, for his views on the development and on where the current state of play sits.

radioinfo is at the CBAA Conference on the Gold Coast and will publish all the winners of the CBAA Awards later this evening.

The CBAA has told radioinfo it is aware that the ACMA has contacted a number of stations around Australia regarding their representation of their station’s sponsorship opportunities as advertising.

Following recent amendments to the Broadcasting Services Act, a number of community stations in four states have received letters from the ACMA alleging “several complaints” about their services, and stating that while no formal investigation will take place, the station should consider matters raised.
