This from the December 2016 newsletter of the Folk[Music] Alliance Australia:
<<<<Hands OFF ABC RN Music! Radio National has long been regarded by musicians, music industry and music lovers across the country as one of our most important vehicles and leading services for the promotion and nurture of Australian cultural and artistic practice outside the mainstream. The recent decision by the ABC to discontinue the following programs -The Inside Sleeve, The Daily Planet, The Live Set & The Rhythm Divine in 2017 ignores the complexities and depth of our Australian music industry. It delivers a significant blow to Australian independent musicians, independent music events, festivals and all industry partnerships who rely on these shows to promote their music, gain exposure and bring alternative genres of music to the Australian public. You still have time to Show your support for specialist music programming on Radio National… Sign the petition: <https://www.change.org/p/michael-mason-hands-off-radio-national-music> >>>> Saul Broudy (W3WHK) Philadelphia, PA USA _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ _______________________________________________ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.
