ABSTRACT During the 1980s New Zealand embarked on a neoliberal project to deregulate as much of the economy as possible. This deregulation included media systems, with radio broadcasting one of the most thoroughly reformed sectors. Critiques of these significant changes and their wide-reaching outcomes were articulated by scholars and pundits from early in the process, reaching a zenith in 2005 with the publication of a book focused on the impact of the deregulation of New Zealand radio titled The Great New Zealand Radio Experiment. This article accepts a key challenge from this volume to interrogate the deregulated commercial radio market in terms of delivering both “dollars and listeners” in years to come. Thirty years on from deregulation and 15 years since this key critical publication, we find that commercial radio in New Zealand has managed to both keep significant listenership and to hold its share of advertising revenue, despite the misgivings of earlier scholarship. This article revisits the deregulation debate and examines the strategies that commercial radio has used to remain relevant to audiences and advertisers and to survive and thrive in the digital age.

ABSTRACT Independent podcasting in Australia continuously evolved throughout 2016–2019, with an increasing focus on generating economic capital. This article draws on semi-structured interviews with 16 Australian podcast producers and participant observations at three consecutive Audiocraft events (national podcasting conference). It uses Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of alternative forms of capital (1986) and Michael Scott’s (2012) figure of the ‘cultural entrepreneur’ to analyse the contribution seven independent podcast producers have made to Australian podcasting’s alternative forms of capital. It finds their contribution is significant as ‘change agents’ subverting its revenue-focused ‘doxa’. This study is part of a larger practice-based doctoral project.

ABSTRACT As we approach 100 years since the first deliberate use by a country to broadcast to audiences beyond its own borders via radio, this research describes the state of international broadcasting in the Pacific region. Using an international broadcasting framework, a content analysis of organizational submissions to the Review of Australian Broadcasting Services in the Asia Pacific, this paper reveals key themes from the submissions that illustrate the challenges and opportunities for the two regional international broadcasters, Radio New Zealand International and Radio Australia, as they strive to continue to reach audiences throughout the Pacific region.

Abstract In 1934, Australian Broadcasting Commissioner E.M.R. Couchman traveled to North America and Europe. While visiting Canada, the United States, and Great Britain, Couchman met with radio executives to research and compile analyses of each nation’s broadcasting development. Her final reports offer valuable snapshots of early network radio in national broadcasting’s formative era, yet they remain largely uncited in the historiography of radio. This article revisits Couchman’s work to present an early and overlooked case study of transnational “entangled media history.” Couchman’s descriptions and insights provide radio scholars with a valuable primary resource compiled by a pioneering woman in radio.

ABSTRACT This article reflects on 30 years of Community Access Radio (CAR) in Aotearoa New Zealand. This sector was championed by the state in 1989 to counteract the radical deregulation of the radio market at that time. CAR has since become an integral part of the national mediascape, navigating substantial changes in technology and audience practices, responding to extraordinary events and surviving despite increasingly constrained financial circumstances. All this has been achieved while going about the daily business of efficiently and effectively enabling minority voices within the community to broadcast their messages.

Abstract As a part of 2016’s te wiki o te reo Māori (Māori language week), reporters on Radio New Zealand (RNZ), started signing off reports in te reo Māori (the Māori language). While some listeners praised the regular inclusion of te reo, others complained about the “over-Maorification” of the station. Through a rhetorical analysis, this article situates two key public complaints about te reo on RNZ within a history of colonialism. However, noting increased interest in Māori language courses, this article argues that, despite ongoing challenges, RNZ’s use of te reo also represents a “toddler step” toward decolonization.

This issue of the Journal of Radio & Audio Media features the symposium, “Radio Downunder” radio research with a focus on New Zealand and Australia edited by Rufus McEwan and Matt Mollgaard (McEwan & Mollgaard, 2021). The two countries’ radio broadcasting encompasses dual networks, major deregulation, community radio, language, and other considerations. In “Comparing Australian, British, Canadian, and U.S. Broadcasting: The 1934 Radio Reports Compiled by Australian Broadcasting Commissioner E.M.R. Couchman” Michael Socolow employs an historical approach with his research about May Couchman’s archival records about her travels through the United States, Canada, and finally to England. Socolow underscores that her role was not only omitted from history but also ignored by contemporaries. He explains that her recommendations that “A.B.C. pursue programs about ‘Aborigines or Half Castes’ in 1933” as well as her report on ABC management were ignored (Socolow, 2021, p. 101). An additional historical survey to the present in “Dollars and Listeners”: Revisiting the Great New Zealand Radio Experiment of Market Deregulation”, Rufus McEwan and Matt Mollgaard conclude thirty years after deregulation and responding to The Great New Zealand Radio Experiment that “commercial radio can thrive if through solid branding, multiplatform distribution, and a clear value proposition to both audiences and advertisers it can find an equilibrium that maximizes both ‘Dollars and Listeners’ (McEwan & Mollgaard, 2021, p. 177). Australian and New Zealand broadcasting to the Pacific is an ongoing “balancing act” of culture and audiences. “International Broadcasting Downunder: A Content Analysis of Organizational Submissions to the Review of Australian Broadcasting Services in the Asia Pacific” by Andrew M. Clark investigates using a content analysis of organizational submissions to the Review of Australian Broadcasting Services in the Asia Pacific, which allows for a study of Radio New Zealand International and Radio Australia’s efforts to reach audiences throughout the Pacific region (Clark, 2021).

这一期的《无线电与音频媒体杂志》专题讨论会，“无线电下行”无线电研究，重点是新西兰和澳大利亚，由Rufus McEwan和Matt Mollgaard编辑(McEwan和Mollgaard, 2021)。两国的无线电广播包括双重网络、重大放松管制、社区广播、语言和其他考虑。在《比较澳大利亚、英国、加拿大和美国的广播:澳大利亚广播专员E.M.R. Couchman编写的1934年广播报告》一书中，Michael Socolow采用了一种历史的方法，研究了May Couchman的档案记录，记录了她在美国、加拿大、最后到英国的旅行。索科洛强调，她的角色不仅被历史忽略，而且被同时代的人所忽视。他解释说，她的建议是“A.B.C.”关于“土著人或半种姓”的节目，以及她关于ABC管理的报告都被忽视了(Socolow, 2021, p. 101)。对“美元与听众”的另一项历史调查:在放松管制30年后，鲁弗斯·麦克万和马特·莫尔加德总结道:“如果通过稳固的品牌、多平台分销以及对受众和广告商的明确价值主张，商业广播可以蓬勃发展，它可以找到一种平衡，使‘美元和听众’最大化(麦克万和莫尔加德，2021年，第177)。”澳大利亚和新西兰对太平洋地区的广播是文化和观众之间持续的“平衡行为”。安德鲁·m·克拉克(Andrew M. Clark)的《国际广播:亚太地区澳大利亚广播服务评论组织意见书的内容分析》利用对亚太地区澳大利亚广播服务评论组织意见书的内容分析进行了调查，从而研究了新西兰国际广播电台和澳大利亚广播电台在整个太平洋地区吸引观众的努力(克拉克，2021年)。Clark总结道:“争夺整个地区听众的心灵和思想的战斗并没有减少，如果《广播与音频媒体杂志》2021年第28卷第1期。1,1 - 4 https://doi.org/10.1080/19376529.2021.1917925

ABSTRACT Student radio stations in New Zealand have a long history of supporting local alternative music. This paper discusses research with New Zealand musicians carried out in 2019, which found that they are engaging with a music industry that requires new sets of skills, particularly for social media promotion. However they still identify student radio stations as a key site of support for airplay and connections with audiences. Student radio stations could assist musicians further with more active forms of support for local and national profile building and touring.

ABSTRACT Vision Australia Radio (VAR) is part of the Australian Radio for the Print Handicapped (RPH) community radio network providing a radio reading service to listeners with a vision impairment. Like mainstream media, it faces the challenge of ensuring the service is fit for purpose in the digital age. There is little preexisting research on the behaviour and interests of the vision-impaired as a discrete audience demographic. This paper reports on a survey of listeners to VAR in Perth, Western Australia, which gives an insight into their current listening habits and identifies some of the challenges in meeting their future needs.
