The commercial radio sector in Australia demonstrates its support for the Australian music industry in many ways. The most obvious way is by broadcasting music performed by Australian artists. Commercial radio airplay promotes Australian artists and their music, which in turn generates income from sales, concert performances and royalties. It also helps to stimulate the production of Australian music.
Code 5 stipulates that all members of Commercial Radio & Audio are required to broadcast minimum quotas of Australian music. Statistics on the actual quotas achieved by each station are compiled by CRA and passed on to ARIA - its annual reports are available for download - ARIA.
