ChAIRMAN’S REPORTAustralian artists continued to stream over the airwaves in 2006-2007, with the likes of Eskimo Joe, Rogue Traders and Silverchair as some of the most broadcast artists of the year. As interim chair of AMPCOM, I am gratified to see radio broadcasters’ continued commitment to the Commercial Radio Codes of Practice (the Code) through their ongoing support for Australian artists.

AMPCOM is a voluntary association of individuals from the music and radio industries who come together to monitor and report on commercial radio adherence to the Code. We ensure each station in the country broadcasts homegrown talent to continue to foster the development of the Australian music scene and showcase the creative diversity of Australian talent.

AMPCOM is pleased to present this year’s annual report which outlines the compliance by the commercial radio industry with the Commercial Radio Codes of Practice that relate to the playing of Australian music on radio.

I extend my warmest thanks to the AMPCOM committee for their continued dedication to Australian music.

MEMBERs OF THE COMMITTEE

2

The Australian Music Performance Committee (AMPCOM) is a voluntary association comprising of an independent chairman and representatives of Commercial Radio Australia (CRA), the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA), the Australian Music Publishers’ Association Ltd (AMPAL) represented currently on AMPCOM by delegates from APRA and AMCOS, the Musicians’ Union of Australia and the Media Entertainment and Arts Alliance (MEAA). Representatives of the Australian Broadcasting Authority (ABA) may attend committee meetings in the capacity of observers.

THE OBJECTs OF AMPCOM ARE:

To maximise the exposure of Australian music on commercial radio, having due regard to the availability of appropriate broadcast-worthy material and the needs and preferences of the Australian listening public;

To monitor the commercial radio industry’s observance of the Australian Music Code of Practice (the Code);

To monitor the music industry’s production of Australian music performances and composition;

To monitor the effects of the Code on performers, composers, producers of sound recordings, musicians and broadcasters;

To review the operation of the Code and to recommend changes to it as considered necessary; and

To consider such other matters, relevant to the above objects, as the committee thinks fit.

OBJECTS OF AMPCOM

3

IN PURsUANCE OF THEsE OBJECTs:

a. The committee will meet at least quarterly;

b. CRA will use its best endeavours to ensure that stations treat the Code requirements as a “safety net” only, in anticipation that the majority of licensees will exceed the requirements, subject to the availability of suitable material;

c. CRA undertakes to provide regular reports to AMPCOM (including but not limited to stations’ APRA log returns) on the performance by CRA members in relation to the Code, and to produce and publish an annual report (in the event no such report is published by the Australian Communications and Media Authority) which will show individual licensees’ performances;

d. ARIA undertakes to provide regular reports on the production and viability of sound recordings featuring Australian and non-Australian music in the categories identified in the Code;

e. The parties agree that, having regard to the current nature of the Australian music industry and the extent to which Australian artists perform Australian compositions, the interest of Australian composers are protected by the Code. The situation will be monitored; and

f. AMPCOM will be responsible for deciding into which category each station’s format falls, if a dispute about that matter arises.

(These objectives are “Attachment A” to the Code, the balance of which is reproduced within this report.)

ThE AUSTRALIAN MUSIC

INTRODUCTION TO THE CODE

The Australian Music Performance Code is Code 4 of the Commercial Radio Codes of Practice. The purpose of this Code, dated December 2001, is to promote the role of broadcasting services in developing and reflecting a sense of Australian identity, character and cultural diversity, by prescribing minimum content levels of Australian music, in line with the objectives of the Broadcasting Services Act 1992.

As a result, quotas have been adapted by the commercial radio industry, setting out the minimum levels of music performed by Australians which is to be broadcast. The Australian content requirements are based on five categories from A to E into which all stations fit. There are different music formats under each category. Typically, stations that play the most popular music (e.g., Mainstream Rock and Contemporary Hits) are found in Category A (the highest quota of 25%). See the table on page 7 of this report for details of quotas for other categories. To follow is a copy of the Code, which is extracted from and is part of, the Commercial Radio Codes of Practice and Guidelines (available in full at www.acma.gov.au).

PERFORMANCE CODE

CODE OF PRACTICE 4:

PURPOsE

4.1 The purpose of this Code is to implement the object, set forth in the Broadcasting Services Act 1992, of promoting the role of broadcasting services in developing and reflecting a sense of Australian identity, character and cultural diversity, by prescribing minimum content levels of Australian music.

The commercial radio industry is committed to supporting the music of Australian artists and composers. The quotas adopted by the industry depend upon the availability of Australian music to suit station formats. The commercial radio industry will continue to encourage the increased production by the record industry of Australian music relevant to stations formats and the preferences of the Australian listening public.

BROADCAsT OF AUsTRALIAN MUsIC

4.2 Subject to this Code, a licensee must ensure that during the Australian Performance Period, either:

(a) The applicable proportion of the total time occupied by the broadcasting of music by the radio service consists of music performed by Australians; or

(b) In the case of a licensee which broadcasts musical items of a reasonably similar duration, the applicable proportion of the total number of musical items broadcast by the radio service consists of musical items performed by Australians.

4.3 (a) For the purposes of clause 4.2, the applicable proportion of total time or total number of musical

items (as the case may be) in respect of a radio service must be determined based upon the predominant format of the service in accordance with the following scale:

CODE OF PRACTICE 4:

(b) In the case of a radio service whose format is within categories A, B or C of clause 4.3(a), the broadcast of New Australian Performances as a proportion of total Australian Performances prescribed by this clause shall be in accordance with the following table, when calculated across all Australian Performance Periods occurring in any financial year, subject to clause:

(c) The commitment on the part of licensees to play a minimum level of New Australian Performances in accordance with sub-clause 4.3(b) is subject to the release of such Performances by the Australian record industry in numbers that are substantially the same as those released in the financial year ending 30 June, 1998. If, in any financial year during the time that this Code is in force, there is a substantial decrease in the release of New Australian Performances, CRA may revise the proportions of New Australian Performances as a proportion of total Australian Performances, contained at clause 4.3(b), after discussion with AMPCOM, provided that any change that may eventuate will not affect the licensees obligations under clause 4.2 and 4.3(a).

(d) Clause 4.3(b) does not apply to a licensee that does not include New Releases in its weekly play lists, having regard to its format.

AUSTRALIAN MUSIC (CONTINUED)

4.4 For the purposes of clause 4.3, the category into which a radio service falls must be nominated by the licensee and if any dispute arises as to the appropriateness of any such nomination the category will be determined by AMPCOM, on the basis of the predominant format of the service.

4.5 For the purposes of clause 4.2, where more than one performer is involved in a musical performance, the musical items concerned shall be regarded as being performed by an Australian if the performance is predominantly by one or more Australians.

CHANGEs TO FORMATs

4.6 A licensee must notify AMPCOM by written notice (through CRA) of any material change to the format of a radio service operated by it, having regard to the tables in Clause 4.3, no later than 7 days after the change is made and must provide AMPCOM with all documentation reasonably required by it in relation to the change to the format.

4.7 The ACMA notes the role and objectives of AMPCOM set out in Attachment ‘A’ hereto (on pages 3 and 4 of this report).

The figures were calculated on the same basis as previously - 6 tracks on each single, 14 per album, 30 per multiple and 20 per compilation. There were more releases during the year both Australian and Overseas. However, the number of tracks was less due to less multiple albums released.

Genre classifications are determined by the record companies in their catalogue updates.

There were some significant movements in product classes that do not show up in the figures above. Releases of multiple albums were 656 in 2006 and 57 in 2007, multiple compilations were 493 in 2006 and 36 in 2007 and compilations increased from 830 in 2006 to 1260 in 2007. The figures do not include any digital only releases and there is the potential for double counting if an album is released in more than one format e.g., CD and vinyl.

The following tables of local release information have, as in the past, been provided to AMPCOM by ARIA. The figures are based on the best available information ARIA can compile from its database and are subject to the following track number assumptions:

a. 6 tracks per single

b. 14 tracks per album
