The regulator has responded to yesterday's opinion article by Brad Smart, citing an administrative error for the broadcast of an out of area Triple M signal at Rolleston Mine.

Opinion from Brad Smart.
 

Can someone please tell me what the hell is going on?

Why is Triple M Brisbane being relayed into the Rolleston Mine in Central Queensland.

That mine is well inside the Central Highlands Licence Area Plan (LAP).

The story I’m about to tell you becomes more intriguing as we peel back the layers, so keep reading. I’m sure you’ll be as appalled as I am at what the regulator is letting happen to this industry.

Today, the Hot Country Network turns 20.

If you don’t live out west of the Great Dividing Range in Queensland, you may never have heard of this network, but it’s been part of the daily lives of many rural people for two decades.

“It was started out of necessity,” says Brad Smart, who founded the network when he owned his Smart Radio group of stations. It was a “helluva ride,” according to Brad, who tells the story of the network for radioinfo.
