ACMA proposes a new community radio service for Arnhem Land, Northern
Territory
The Australian Communications and Media Authority is seeking comment
on
a proposal to make a new community radio service available in north
east Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory.

The proposal follows a submission from the Aboriginal Resource and
Development Services Inc (ARDS). ARDS is interested in establishing a
community broadcasting service in the Yolngu Matha language to be
based
in Nhulunbuy with AM translator services across north-east Arnhem Land
and Darwin.


This service has been going in Darwin for some time now, run by the
Aboriginal Resource and Development Service (ARDS). It is mainly in
the Yolngu dialect (I understand a little of it, but not much), but it
sometimes breaks into English.

In Darwin it's on 1530 Khz, with test transmissions happening in
Nhulunbuy on 1530 Khz, and a planned operating frequency of 1503 Khz.

ARDS also have licences on a whole raft of other centres in the NT.
