We found that live radio across different platforms is important to Australians. This is especially relevant during emergency situations, such as the recent bushfires. We also determined that a mix of platforms is crucial to bringing radio to listeners.<\/p>\n<p>Our report identifies four broadcast spectrum planning priority activities to help support radio:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>converting commercial, community and national radio broadcasting services from AM to FM where available<\/li>\n<li>improving the coverage of radio broadcasting services where spectrum is readily available<\/li>\n<li>making digital radio channel plans for regional DAB+ where there is a planned rollout<\/li>\n<li>supporting trials of new broadcasting technology.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.acma.gov.au\/sites\/default\/files\/2020-03\/Report-to-the-Minister-Future-delivery-of-radio.docx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Report to the Minister Future delivery of radio (319.59 KB)<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sunjournal.com\/2020\/03\/25\/woxo-says-farewell-to-listeners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WOXO says farewell to listeners; Gleason Radio Group to go silent after 45 years (Sun Journal)<\/a><\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>AUBURN \u2014 On Maine Big Z\u2019s \u201cThe Breakfast Club,\u201d Mark Turcotte interviewed local business owners, entertainers, activists, and once last summer, a mixed martial arts cage fighter and state senator one hour apart.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHad to shift gears pretty quickly that morning,\u201d quipped Turcotte, the morning show host since December 2018.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, he was abruptly down to two final shows.<\/p>\n<p>Gleason Radio Group announced that its five stations will go off the air at 7 p.m. Sunday.

This suspension will run through June 30, 2020, or the end of the US national emergency, whichever is later.<\/p>\n<p>During the waitlist suspension, users will be able to borrow books from the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/nationalemergencylibrary\">National Emergency Library<\/a>\u00a0without joining a waitlist, ensuring that students will have access to assigned readings and library materials that the Internet Archive has digitized for the remainder of the US academic calendar, and that people who cannot physically access their local libraries because of closure or self-quarantine can continue to read and thrive during this time of crisis, keeping themselves and others safe.<\/p>\n<p>This library brings together all the books from\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/phillipsacademy\">Phillips Academy Andover<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/marygrovecollege\">Marygrove College<\/a>, and much of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/trent_university\">Trent University\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0collections, along with over a million other books donated from other libraries to readers worldwide that are locked out of their libraries.<\/p>\n<p>This is a response to the scores of inquiries from educators about the capacity of our lending system and the scale needed to meet classroom demands because of the closures. Working with librarians in Boston area, led by Tom Blake of Boston Public Library, who gathered course reserves and reading lists from college and school libraries, we determined which of those books the Internet Archive had already digitized.\u00a0 Through that work we quickly realized that our lending library wasn\u2019t going to scale to meet the needs of a global community of displaced learners. To make a real difference for the nation and the world, we would have to take a bigger step.[<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.archive.org\/2020\/03\/24\/announcing-a-national-emergency-library-to-provide-digitized-books-to-students-and-the-public\/?iax=ntlemrlib%7cctalnk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">&#8230;<\/a>]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.airspacemag.com\/military-aviation\/world-war-iis-strangest-bombing-mission-180974470\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">World War II\u2019s Strangest Bombing Mission (Air &amp; Space)<\/a><\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>The RAF knew how to cut the power on propaganda.<\/p>\n<p>eichsmarschall Hermann G\u00f6ring was beside himself with anger. Years before, he had told the people of Germany that no enemy aircraft would ever cross the country\u2019s borders. Now, on January 30, 1943, a national day of celebration marking the 10th anniversary of Hitler\u2019s rise to power, G\u00f6ring was made to look like a buffoon.<\/p>\n<p>Dodging in and out of slate gray clouds, Royal Air Force bombers from No. 105 Squadron howled across Berlin. With bomb doors open and Merlin engines at their limits, the wail from a trio of de Havilland Mosquitos mixed with blasts from anti-aircraft batteries below. If everything went as planned, all that noise was going to be on the radio.<\/p>\n<p>In Berlin, amid the grim news from the battlefronts in North Africa and Stalingrad, the January 30 celebration was intended to take German minds off their fallen soldiers and reversals of fortune. The Nazis were going to have a parade. G\u00f6ring, one of the most powerful figures in the National Socialist German Workers\u2019 Party, was about to deliver a speech to kick off the opening ceremonies in the capital city. British operatives knew it all. They even found out what time the Luftwaffe commandant was due to step to the podium at the Air Ministry Building\u2014exactly 1100.<\/p>\n<p>Royal Air Force leaders had dispatched orders to a pair of Mosquito squadrons experienced in low-level attacks. \u201cI was playing [cards] in the crew room when my driver first told me we were going on an op,\u201d Sergeant Richard Charles \u201cLofty\u201d Fletcher later told reporters. \u201cI must admit I was a bit shattered when I found out it was Berlin.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 400-mph Mosquitos were undertaking the RAF\u2019s first daylight bombing attack on Germany\u2019s largest city. Their target was not the parade route or even the Reichsmarschall himself, but something bigger. It didn\u2019t take a top-level English spy to figure out that G\u00f6ring\u2019s remarks would be transmitted to the far corners of the Third Reich. The bombers banked and streaked towards Berlin\u2019s Haus des Rundfunks\u2014the headquarters building of the German State broadcasting company.<\/p>\n<p>G\u00f6ring and the radio building were slightly more than four miles apart\u2014a distance that the Mosquitos could cover, going all-out, in roughly 40 seconds. And the cacophony they brought with them traveled even faster. As the mics went live and G\u00f6ring began to speak, the roar of impending catastrophe became audible over the radio.[<a href=\"https:\/\/www.airspacemag.com\/military-aviation\/world-war-iis-strangest-bombing-mission-180974470\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">&#8230;<\/a>]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<hr \/>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong><em>Do you enjoy the SWLing Post?<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>Please consider supporting us via\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/bePatron?u=7466002&amp;redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fswling.com%2Fblog%2F&amp;utm_medium=widget\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/bePatron?u%3D7466002%26redirect_uri%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fswling.com%252Fblog%252F%26utm_medium%3Dwidget&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1534765144986000&amp;usg=AFQjCNEe7C7aRTKqwuFkU5YIo8XEqPqthw\"><span class=\"il\">Patreon<\/span><\/a>\u00a0or our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/cgi-bin\/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&amp;hosted_button_id=TGGFP2XVZDPP2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/cgi-bin\/webscr?cmd%3D_s-xclick%26hosted_button_id%3DTGGFP2XVZDPP2&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1534765144986000&amp;usg=AFQjCNH45maBgVLGpqLmQQvviVKBNMEGUw\"><span class=\"il\">Coffee<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"il\">Fund<\/span><\/a>! <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Your support makes articles like this one possible.
