McNair Ingenuity Research has released the findings of their 2011 Indigenous Media Omnibus surveys, with results showing that commercial, public and community all play a vital role in various Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
– Commercial music stations were most listened to in metropolitan areas (regularly listened to by 59% versus 25% of Indigenous Australians aged 18+ in remote areas)
– Local community radio stations attract a greater proportion of regular listeners in regional areas (listened to by 48% versus 34% and 36% in metropolitan and remote areas respectively)
– ABC stations were most popular amongst those in remote areas (regularly listened to by 41% versus 38% in regional areas and 23% in metropolitan areas)
He's reached far and wide, my experience: he found me on Voice123 asking me to voice some promos. What followed were confusing back and forth emails that turned out he wanted me to be their production manager at Ridge...full time, voluntarily. Seemed odd so I asked him to call me to discuss on the phone as there was a list of unanswered questions I had already emailed him.
Never heard from him...seems like a bit of a pattern.
