2BOBs MUSIC POLICY

Picture
2BOB Radio's broadcast licence was approved on the basis of an application that gave an undertaking to play new, independent and alternative music. 2BOB works in collaboration with the Australian Music Radio Airplay Project (Amrap) and the Australasian Performing Right  Association (APRA) to provide listeners with a musical feast of the best new music from leading Australian and international musical artists, with a dedicated interest in independent and alternative musicians. 

The station promotes new Australian music, and is committed to playing at least 40 per cent Australian music in all its English-language live program broadcasts. 2BOB actively encourages and supports local musical artists from the Manning Valley and throughout the Mid-North Coast by  playing local artist tracks at dedicated times in programs throughout each day. 

2BOB Radio seeks to satisfy wide musical tastes by playing a diverse range of music by Australian and overseas artists, including blues, jazz, reggae, rock'n'roll, hip hop, indie, country, folk, indigenous, electronic, jazz, vintage, and much more.
 
In any 24-hour period, we aim to play 75 per cent of music released within the last six months. CDs in our main studio include 40 new-release albums featured in an evolving collection called The Hot Lot, plus 10 Amrap albums, 10 Totally Female albums, as well as the Feature Albums of the Week.

Australian Music Radio Airplay Project


2BOB Radio supports the Australian Music Radio Airplay Project (Amrap), which is a Federal Government-funded initiative to distribute and promote new Australian music to community broadcasters all around the country, with the aim of increasing national radio airplay for Australian musical artists. 

Through two principal programs - CD MailOut and AirIt - Amrap offers musical distribution services for signed and unsigned Australian artists, major and independent record labels and all community radio stations around Australia. Between March 2009-March 2010 Amrap distributed over 19,000 CDs from  909 Australian artists to 280-plus community radio stations nationwide. 

Under the CD MailOut program, signed and independent Australia musical artists pay a small fee for the distribution of new-release, radio-ready CDs to community  radio stations nationwide. Each month (except December), Amrap  bundles CDs from different artists into packages and delivers them to radio  stations and broadcasters that are likely to play them. The service is targeted and cost effective, but mailouts fill quickly so musicians should aim to book ahead. Amrap will distribute releases containing covers, however, higher priority is given to releases containing 100 per cent original Australian compositions. 

AirIt is community radio's exclusive catalogue of Australian music. AirIt contains Australian music from  major and independent record labels and unsigned artists. Community radio broadcasters and station personnel register with AirIt, log in, preview tracks in full and order music for air play. Music is ordered in either CD or download format. The AirIt service is free for community radio, record labels and unsigned artists. 

2BOB Radio enthusiastically encourages Manning Valley and other NSW Mid-North Coast musical artists who want their music to be played on 2BOB and other community radio stations to contact Amrap by phone on (02) 9318 9621 or by email to mailout@amrap.org.au  or airit@amrap.org.au
