New Australian Narrowcast
Guide 1611-1701 AM
________________________ 

A new version of the Australian Narrowcast Radio Guide 1611-1701 AM
has just been released by the Radio Heritage Foundation and is
available from www.radioheritage.com.

Completely revised and updated, the guide covers some 70 stations
currently broadcasting on the expanded AM dial across Australia.
These stations, usually operating with a low transmitter power, have
been a feature of the Australian radio scene for some decades.

The new guide reveals that almost 40% of the stations operate on just
one frequency, 1611 AM, which is just outside the standard AM dial
but usually listenable on most car and domestic radio receivers.

Almost 30% of the stations are also operated by just one broadcaster,
Rete Italia, which has been expanding use of the narrowcast dial for
its services in the Italian language.

Other broadcasters heard include the Vision Radio Network, several
country music networks, Arabic, Greek, Chinese and other ethnic
stations and several local stations such as the new 2GW in Sydney's
Greater West on 1611 AM and relays for Far North Queensland's 4KZ.

Feedback, corrections and updates from users are always welcome and
will be incorporated in future versions. Simply email your comments
