Independent Inquiry Into Frequency Modulation Broadcasting
FM broadcasting started in Australian capital cities in 1947 on an "experimental" basis, using a (monaural) ABC national network feed, consisting largely of classical music and Parliament, as a programme source. FM receivers were expensive and the audience consisted largely of hi-fi enthusiasts. The transmitters (operated by the PMG's Dept) were shut down in 1961, as much of the standard FM band (98–108 MHz) was reserved for TV channel 5 (102.250 video carrier). Early attempts at introduction In April 1948 the Labor Government of Ben Chifley indicated that the introduction of FM broadcasts would occur on a nationalised basis with no commercial stations.
