And they do, by one measure. But that's only part of the story.

Grant Broadcasting's executive director Grant Cameron, has told Radio National the extra cost to his company would be more than $1 million a year for the company's 51 stations around Australia.

The final hearing date has been set for March 2015.

Founder and chairperson Peter Herman has told radioinfo the station is just gearing up to join the Digital Revolution this month by purchasing a brand new Arrakis X14-14 console and new iRK microphones, and he doesn’t want to see Australian radio go backwards.
