AMPLIFYING AUSSIE ARTISTS ON DOUBLE J
Labor wants more Australians to be able to listen to Double J, so we are taking the first steps to make that happen.
An Albanese Labor Government will support Australian music and promote Australian artists by examining options to expand the reach of Double J on radio.
The ABC plays an invaluable role in supporting, promoting, and broadcasting emerging and established Australian artists – and the ABC’s vital role in the music industry has been acknowledged in a Parliamentary inquiry into Australian music.
Labor supported the establishment of the original Double J and Anthony Albanese, long before he entered Parliament, spent years campaigning for Labor to expand Triple J into regional areas.
Double J also plays a vital role in supporting Australian women artists.
Currently, audiences across regional Australia can get Double J on digital TV, the ABC website or the ABC listen app, but can’t get Double J on the radio because there’s no Double J on FM radio and most towns don’t have DAB+ radio.
Labor has heard industry calls to expand the reach of Double J on radio in regional areas. Labor will commission the ABC to undertake a feasibility study into the expansion of Double J on radio as the next logical next step in helping great Aussie artists reach more ears.
