Regional Communications Minister Fiona Nash will address community broadcasters at the CBAA Conference next month.

The CBAA has announced its calendar of events for the month of October.
 

Thousands of community radio listeners, volunteers and supporters have petitioned against the Coalition Government’s decision to cut $1.4 million per annum to the sector’s digital service. 

The Keep Community Radio now has over 52,000 signatures. 

The Day of Action, #keepcommunity radio trended on Twitter and almost 90,000 people were talking about it on Facebook.

With just a few weeks until the election the campaign continues with a focus directly on MPs in marginal seats.

Labor has outlined it's commitment to community radio in an election campaign funding announcement today.

It comes as the CBAA begins its campaign to "Keep the Community in Radio" to restore digital radio transmission funding, to ensure that community radio is not trapped in an analog ghetto while other broadcasters go digital.

That campaign follows the announcement of cuts to community digital radio funding in the Federal Government's recent budget.

What does positive change look like and how can it be led successfully? Who is holding back change in your station and who is driving it forward?

This year’s CBAA Conference will see Holly Ransom take the stage to explore the state of flux we find ourselves in and the challenges that change poses to us as community broadcasters, as not for profit organisations and as a sector that plays such a huge role in nurturing Australia’s open society, strong democracy and vibrant culture
