Question for the Cameron family & David:
I and I'm sure the communities of Cairns, Townsville, Mackay, Rockhampton, Gladstone and the Sunshine Coast would like to know that if, Grant Broadcasters are increasing their focus on local news; when will they disband the hubbed approach to local news whereby all the aforementioned markets have their news produced and read from their Maroochydore studios.
Granted, these circumstances are a legacy of the structure they purchased from former owner, Prime Media Group, but surely there has been enough time to implement locally based journalists if they had wanted to?
I understand that many of the licences are recent entrants or on the AM band or have compromised coverage areas due to transmitter location or lack of translators, but this should not be insurmountable or to an extent that it is un-viable to employ a local journalist in each market (and one each in Rocky and Gladstone, likewise one each in the markets of Gympie and Nambour).
So how about it? Why not? If yes, when?
