Abstract
Public broadcasting is the third sector of Australian broadcasting, the non-government and non-profit sector. From small beginnings in 1974, some 60 radio stations are now on air and new licences are being issued at the rate of 10 to 12 a year. A few countries have similar kinds of broadcasting, but the acceptance by our Government of public broadcasting as an integral component of a three-sector Australian system is without parallel. How far public radio has achieved its objectives is a matter for debate. There were many objectives, not all agreed upon by all or even most of the pioneers. Its future is also unsure. That it will survive in some form is certain but whether in circumstances which will let it realise its aims fully is, at the time of writing, still uncertain.
