Need more stations, need frequencies...

[edit] Does Wikipedia need this page?

Does a list of Radio Frequencies really belong in an encyclopedia? Does this mean that we need a full ist for the entir world?

This seems inappropriate to me.

This is not a list of radio frequencies; this is a list of radio stations in Australia; just like there's a List of Australian television channels. There are also already articles about Australian radio stations and the companies that own them, yet nowhere where they're centrally linked from. Thus this page.

The Wikipedia is more like "The Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy" than the "Encyclopedia Galactica". matturn 10:55, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

It might make more sense to add a category for the national stations. --Rlandmann 06:13, 5 Apr 2004 (UTC)

I might also merge the AM and FM lists for each city, into one. The AM or FM status of each can be determined by the frequency, and having AM and FM separate just makes an unnecessarily cluttered TOC. --Chuq 05:26, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Australian Broadcasting Authority lists

This web page provides radio stations by post code:-

I have deleted the PDF website address because when I visited it I got a Page cannot be found

I see that ABA is now know as the ACMA (Australian Communications and Media Authority).

[edit] Defunct Radio Stations/Frequencies

Is there anywhere where these might go? I can think of the ABC Shortwave service and in WA - 6KY and a few others - any suggestions? SatuSuro 09:31, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
