If you attended Ontario Association of Broadcasters Connection '22, you may have taken in the first panel of this year's conference, The Wizards of Aus, looking at the moment of resurgence radio is having in Australia.Part of that growth is attributed to Boomtown - a collaboration between Southern Cross Austereo, Prime Media Group, WIN Network, Australian Community Media, Imparja, ARN, News Corp Australia and oOh!media - which markets regional radio and television to national advertisers.While 9.1M residents live in regional Australia, and the average income is $93K a year, just 10% of national media budgets were spent there when the campaign started.On this episode of Broadcast Dialogue - The Podcast, we welcome Boomtown Chairperson and Chief Sales Officer for Southern Cross Austereo Brian Gallagher, to talk about how educating media buyers has paid off and why he's bullish on the outlook for commercial radio.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

While the issue of CanCon quotas is contentious, CKIQ-FM Iqaluit recently took the bold step of revamping its format to an all-Canadian playlist.The move, in part, was in response to a previous CRTC violation for failing to meet Canadian Content quotas because of challenges presented by the MAPL formula, which determines how Canadian or un-Canadian a song is, regardless of whether it's recorded by a homegrown artist.On this episode of Broadcast Dialogue - The Podcast, Glenn Craig, President of Northern Lights Entertainment, joins us to talk about embracing CanCon, his enduring passion for radio, and how a kid from Mira Bridge, Cape Breton ended up the licencee of two radio stations in the far north.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Earlier this year, ACTRA Toronto undertook a survey looking at the extreme vocal work that video games are now demanding of voice actors.

He joins us on this episode of Broadcast Dialogue - The Podcast, joined by UC Health Voice Pathologist and Voice Health Expert Katelyn Reid.

The vast majority of UHF North American broadcast antennas today are slotted cylinder pylon antennas, which offer benefits including smaller tower footprints, fewer parts, lower windload and superior pattern flexibility.
