FM is wasteland down here too, if you care about pop music a whole lot. compressed rabid drivel, and shock jocks.

The only reliefs are

http://www.abc.net.au/classic/music-listings/#tuesday

national, public, uncompressed, lots of live simple stereo broadcasts.

They also have JJJ - the yoof network, compressed, and full of wanker announcers.

And there are a few community based broadcasters, eg

http://artsound.fm/ - eclectic, blues, jazz, world, early music, and clasical. reviews and etc.

the MBS network in all the state capitals, good classical with 'laidddd back' volunteer announcers.

Good antennas are still around I'll be putting up and FM 8 OR building a rhombic in the roof. One big tower with all TV and FM on it, in this hilly capital territory's centre. Supplemented by narrow arc low-power repeaters on two more big hills.

The ABC also have a high quality / independent/ somewhat high-brow national mono network with wide-bandwidth sound, news, politics, philosophy, science, humour.

and ABC local mono stations.

Some on FM some on AM for range often needed here given the distances.

So I still have a wide band AM stage, valve.

DAB is coming though, sighhhh.

HD-DTV is here and I'm not fully convinced it's natural / better.

Pay tv? Cable/satellite is full of LOUD (compressed) ads against the fanfare of promises when it began.
