Music… On the radio?

Wednesday, July 9th, 2008

So you are going on a long roadtrip? Just moved to a new place? Can’t afford a new (generic music device) after the last one went for a dip in the washing machine? Looking for new sources of music? Wanna support local acts?

Why not try some local indie radio… I know its a ridiculous premise but it can indeed be found: Good music, on the radio.

Triple J - Nationally broadcast on 105.7 on the web at www.abc.net.au/triplej/

Hardly local, As part of the ABC Triple J doesn’t have the same aura of independence as some of the stations below, but still plays awesome tracks, has good solid presenters and a commitment to Independent music.

Shows that top the list are BREAKFAST with ROBBIE, MARIEKE and THE DOCTOR (their caps) and any LIVE AT THE WIRELESS - MONDAYS that takes your fancy. The live recordings are done by a really top notch crew, so they always sound awesome, almost as good as being there.

And now on to the local stations:
