I was tickled to read that there is a suburb near Ipswich call New Chum and, according to the 2021 census, it had "no people or a very low population". Maybe it needs a radio station.
I imagine there will come a point where the technology and the audience has moved on, and the government will want the bandwidth for other purposes. I certainly foresee a realignment of the bands -- especially the existing AM frequencies which make very inefficient use of asset.

Has anyone ever surrendered an Australian radio licence? Or a TV licence for that matter? They close newspapers so why not a radio/TV station?
