Broadcasting in Australia

Broadcasting in Australia involves the transmission of radio and television signals to reach the general public, delivered via public, commercial, and community services. It is regulated by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) to ensure standards and diversity. Broadcasters operate across free-to-air and digital platforms, providing news, entertainment, and information. The industry balances commercial interests with public service obligations, supporting local content, diversity, and accessibility. Advances in technology, like online streaming, are also expanding how audiences access broadcast media in Australia.
