The ACMA is proposing changes to radio services in the Young broadcast area.
The licensees of Young’s commercial radio broadcasting services including 2LF and 2LFF have proposed that the ACMA vary the Young Radio Licence Area Plan (LAP). Their aim is to make additional FM in-fill transmitters available in Cootamundra, Cowra, Grenfell and Temora for 2LF and at Grenfell and Temora for 2LFF.
At the same time, the licensee of the Temora community broadcasting service (TEM FM) has proposed that the ACMA consider a change to the station’s technical specifications to improve coverage in the Temora area.
A preliminery decision from the ACMA is that the changes would improve coverage and reception in their licence areas and, as a result, the ACMA is looking for public comment on the proposed LAP variation.
The draft proposals can be viewed here.
