>The move has been welcomed by industry body, Commercial Radio

>"Digital radio ushers in a new era for radio and for the 95 percent of
>Australians who listen to radio every week," said Joan Warner, Chief
>Executive Officer of CRA.

>"The passing of the legislation means consumers will get vastly

>broadcasting infrastructure that will be required."

>She said while the legislation covered the licensing, planning and

>Melbourne,
>Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth and Hobart, regional and rural Australia
>would not miss out

>"There are around 220 commercial radio stations who play a very

>it"s important that they share in the benefits that digital technology will
>bring," she said.

>Ms Warner said the act reflected the industry's key policy requests and
>the vital role commercial broadcasters would play in the roll out and
>success of digital radio.
