CBAA Submissions

The text discusses the challenges faced by community radio stations in Australia, including a decrease in sponsorship revenue and the disruption caused by the digital environment. The Community Broadcasting Foundation (CBF) has not received an increase in government funding since 2011, despite the rising costs faced by community broadcasting stations. The text emphasizes the importance of secure and adequate funding for public broadcasters and the community broadcasting sector in order to maintain media diversity and serve the needs of regional and remote communities. The government is encouraged to include the community radio sector in measures to enhance Australia's media landscape. The Community Broadcasting Association of Australia (CBAA) is committed to working with the government to create a more certain funding environment for the sector.
