CRN Program Criteria
We're looking for programs that:
- Emphasise Australian Music: Prioritise and showcase music produced by Australian
artists, celebrating the rich and diverse talent within our country, ensuring
that 40% of the music played is from Australian artists.
- Champion Diversity: Represent the full spectrum of Australian society by including the
views and music of First Nations people, LGBTIQ+ individuals, gender
non-conforming individuals, and those from multicultural backgrounds. Aim for a
balanced representation among program-makers with 40% male-identifying, 40%
female-identifying, and 20% by any and no gender, including gender diverse
individuals. Content should be reflective of the current demographic make-up of
Australia, as governed by the most recent census data.
- Promote Local Arts and Culture: Feature locally produced arts and cultural content,
highlighting the creativity and vibrancy of our communities.
- Prioritise First Nations Content: Prioritise First Nations content to support
self-determination and truth-telling, providing a platform for these essential
stories and perspectives.
- Amplify Unheard Voices: Commit to sharing stories and amplifying voices that are
largely unheard in mainstream media, providing a platform for underrepresented
perspectives.
- Maintain High Production Standards: Ensure all program makers produce their content to a high
standard, adhering to strong production values and meeting all deadlines
consistently.
ThThis round in particular, we are keen to hear programs that spotlight Australian music.
