SCA is back Streaming

Earlier in the year all regional markets around the country went silent.

Collectively regional groups – Grant Broadcasters being the first, followed by SCA, ACE and others went dark – switching off their internet streams over a dispute with the PPCA, who were after some more cash with a revised fee structure.

Today, SCA has turned some markets back on.

Southern Cross Austereo Chief Content Officer Guy Dobson said, 

“Gold Coast, Newcastle and Canberra are big cities with regular radio surveys and so we have decided to bring them back into line with the other metro stations when it comes to online streaming. We are in agreement with CRA on this matter, in that being asked to pay, at a much higher rate, for the music we already pay for is double dipping and extremely unfair on local radio stations.”

Newcastle with NX and KO, Canberra's MIX and 104.7 along with SCA’s Gold Coast market with Sea and Gold FM are back.

Each market  is actively pushing the branded app to listen online, with news top of hour hooks and with the guys/girls OnAir also promoting.
