Radio fans in Murray Bridge, Mount Barker and Victor Harbor might need to retune from AM to FM with a proposal to change from AM to FM for 5MU. ‘FM radio provides improved audio quality for listeners in regional areas and can be more cost-effective to operate than AM radio,’ said ACMA Chair Nerida O’Loughlin. Submissions on the proposals are due by 14 June 2019. The ACMA is also proposing to plan a new long-term community radio broadcasting service for Mount Barker, which is currently served by temporary community broadcasting services. More information about AM-FM conversion is available here. https://www.acma.gov.au/theACMA/proposal-to-vary-the-murray-bridge-and-riverland-licence-area-plans
