Mainstream Radio Will Not Play Australian Music Until They Have To

Australian music mogul Michael Chugg has slammed mainstream radio for what he believes is a distinct lack of airplay for local music. Speaking at the Australasian World Music Expo on Friday, Chugg believes that a minimum 25 per cent of the music on major commercial radio stations should be current Australian music. “Mainstream radio will not fucking play Australian music until they have to. It’s awful,” he said.
