PACIFIC STATIONS FEATURE STRONGLY IN NEW BORDERLESS RADIO RANKINGS
www.radioheritage.net
(Radio Heritage Foundation/Pacific Media Watch): What do ABC Radio, Radio NZ,
RFO Radio, Communications Fiji, KCCN-FM and KUAM have in common?
Each features in the new Borderless Radio Rankings at
www.radioheritage.net as being the top radio websites from their
countries when ranked against hundreds of others from across the
Pacific.
This is a fresh way of looking at local radio stations and brands
from the Pacific in a 'borderless' global digital marketplace
according to the Radio Heritage Foundation which has released four new
reports covering the subject.
"Local market boundaries, AM, FM, DAB, HD and other digital licence
areas and frequency allocations are becoming increasingly irrelevant
to building communities of listeners," says David Ricquish of the Radio
Heritage Foundation.
"We can now look at all different kinds of radio brands and compare
them from one original common data source. Commercial, community,
state owned, high power, low power, AM, FM, digital, it makes no
difference any more" he adds.
In fact, AM, FM and even the latest digital radio technologies are
trapped within geography, whereas online streaming into multi-system
digital receivers underpins the real radio revolution that's taking
place believes the Radio Heritage Foundation.
You can now check how your favorite local radio station compares with
other radio stations across your town, city, radio market, country
and the entire Pacific region. You'll be surprised at the results.
Reports available at www.radioheritage.net include BRR Australia, BRR
New Zealand, BRR Pacific Region and BRR Top 1 Million with others
being progressively introduced.
Hawai'ian FM radio brands dominate the Pacific Region report, but Fiji
and other island nations also feature.
Australan radio brands ranging from the ABC to local commercial and
community FM stations - and with a surprisingly strong showing from
heritage AM stations - in turn dominate the Pacific Top 1 Million
report.
Over 100 New Zealand radio brands feature in the New Zealand report,
with small LPFM [low power FM] stations staking a strong claim to
global audiences while the two major commercial networks are tied in
their global impact.
And this is just the beginning. Over 400 separate stations are listed
in the new Borderless Radio Rankings and more will join them in the
coming months.
The Radio Heritage Foundation tracks radio heritage. From original
spark wireless to AM to shortwave to amateur radio to FM to digital
to global wireless.
The new Borderless Radio Ranking service is part of the organization's
strategy to report on current changes in Pacific radio so it can
create baselines of data to support its ongoing radio heritage
protection activities. All reports can currently be accessed for free
at www.radioheritage.net.
