the Australian Music Performance committee (AMPcOM) represents commercial radio Australia (crA), the

Australian recording industry Association (AriA), the Phonographic Performance company of Australia (PPcA), the

Australian Music Publishers’ Association ltd (AMPAl) represented currently on AMPcOM by APrA AMcOs, and the

Musicians’ union of Australia and the Media entertainment and Arts Alliance (MeAA).

The objecTives 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.

in PursuAnce of These objecTives: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 AMcOs 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).

inTroducTion To The codethe 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 adopted 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 5 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).

PurPose4.1 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 Music4.2 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: auStralian muSic

(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.

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 forMATs4.6 A licensee must notify AMPcOM by written notice (through commercial radio Australia) 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
