Around 1998 4ZZZ, 4MBS, and Family Radio started broadcasting from the one installation at Mt Coot-tha. Prior to this 4MBS and Family Radio had merely leased land beside 4ZZZ but then Brisbane City Council decided that having three transmission towers and huts in the one place was an eyesore and encouraged the three radio stations to share facilities. This resulted in the three radio stations developing a company called Broadcasting Park to negotiate with the Council. This company consisted of three shares, one owned by each member station.
Indigenous media crucial in strengthening identity
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Justice Commissioner says Indigenous media is crucial in strengthening Indigenous identity and challenging stereotypes.
Commissioner Mick Gooda says it’s often “complex for mainstream media to portray Indigenous issues accurately and realistically” but Indigenous media offers important information for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
Mr Gooda is calling on the Australian government to implement recommendations made by the United Nation’s Secretary-General, Ban Ki-Moon.
