2008: Year in Review part 1

Radioinfo has covered hundreds of stories of interest to the Australian radio industry this year. This story (and its part two companion covering the earlier part of the year) offers easy links to each one of them. The second half of 2008 was full of stories about declining advertising and profit warnings, and when the world financial crisis hit at the end of the year shares in all radio companies, like the rest of the media industry, fell drastically.

Other stories of note included Alan Jones health scares, ACMA’s pursuit of miscreant community stations, the tentative launching of new digital radio channels, the ABC’s new site finally found in Brisbane, the expansion of NewsRadio into new regional areas, and the community radio sector’s campaign for better digital radio funding. Here is a list of all the stories we covered, in reverse order, between July and December.
