AIR NEWS NEWS
It's been five years now since Australian Independent Radio News, or AIR News, launched itself into the radio marketplace across Australia.
Originally targeted at
Community radio stations as an easy and dependable professional radio news
reporting service, AIR News has managed to settle into the commercial
marketplace too with Flow FM across most of South Australia, some of the
Northern Territory and Victoria, as well as through Albany WA commercial outlet
Gold MX.
Growth for "Australia's
smallest radio news service" has been impressive with 38 stations in all states
and territories now taking various components of the service.
AIR News head
Artie Stevens says it's "all about listening to client needs" and making the
tweaks in the service where there's an obvious need.
He says "We were consistently
told that none of the national news services, including ourselves, provided a
local or state based news service for Community stations, so we added extra
breakfast bulletins for each state and territory as well as a special news
service for Riverina radio stations."
He's most proud of the number
of his "presenters" moving into the industry on a full time basis (8 to date)
and credits the service with its ability to assist young trainee journo's with
experience and exposure without them having to relocate to a major city.
Five years down, many more to
come.
