Get Content via the Community Radio Network
Would you like help boosting the volume and diversity of programming on your station? Need to sustain your station’s programming overnight? Or something to fall back on when a presenter can’t make it?
Through the CBAA’s Community Radio Network, you can access a selection of the best news, talk, music and entertainment programs for your community radio station - 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
You can tap into over 100 programs, including:
- Special broadcasts covering major cultural and festival events
- Informative talks programs
- Good Morning Country, a country music breakfast show
- Weekly current affairs including The Wire
- Specialist music programs
- Topical short inserts
- The National Radio News service (additional subscription needed)
As a Community Radio Network subscriber, you choose exactly what you’d like to use and when, allowing you to augment your own local content with specific programs of national relevance, build upon your programming with short inserts, or use the service as a fall back when presenters can’t make it or you need something to broadcast overnight.
The Community Radio Network service is always there for your station, offering stable, cost-effective broadcast quality audio, accessible via either the Digital Delivery Network (DDN) or live satellite audio feed, able to be broadcast live or captured for later replay.
