This article should be re - named.... Narrowcasters Finally Make It To DAB+ On The Gold Coast. You can't call any of the 3 stations names True Community Stations. Try rocking up with a box of your favourite tunes and see if you can get a time slot.... you wont! Hence my comment.
On a technical level, DAB+ can be better audio quality than FM. But decisions made higher up (usually out of individual station's hands) largely hobbles this in current times. It's very much a "fox left in charge of the hen house" type of a problem. From my view point.
