Each year commercial network chiefs band together under the CRA umbrella and  make their way to Canberra to rub shouders with lawmakers and put the industry's case to them

Commercial radio audiences reached an all-time high in 2018 and have grown by 12% over the past five years and by 22% over the past decade, according to Commercial Radio Australia’s annual listening summary.

Commercial Radio Australia will establish a Podcast Working Group, comprised of major radio players - commercial, ABC and SBS - to spearhead the development of the growing podcast industry in Australia.

Announcing the initiative at today's Radio Alive national conference, Joan Warner said the working group will be charged with developing an all-of-industry podcast strategy, including recommendations on measurement, promotion and research.
