THE DOCTOR IS IN THE HOUSE
Dr Frank Madill is well-known in Tasmania as a retired General Practitioner and a former Tasmanian politician, but City Park Radio listeners know him better as the host of “Medical Mysteries, Old and New”.
Each program has two parts. You’ll learn about a famous figure from history in the first part, and then in the second will be the modern context on the mystery illness that afflicted them, and where it lies in today’s understanding of the human condition.
This latest series is the 7th in five years, and Dr Frank is still finding new and interesting stories from history.
You can hear “Medical Mysteries” on Mondays at 1:30pm during the Long Lunch program, and you can also catch up on all the previous episodes at the podcast page on our website at www.cityparkradio.com.

It could be the sporting broadcasts, a specialist music program, a multicultural program or perhaps one of the many programs that emanate from the community. It could be an outside broadcast or a special feature you have enjoyed.
Last year, our programs See Me-Stories of Ability, The Misadventures of Agnetha Deveaux, and Multicultural Engagement were finalists in the 2023 CBAA Awards.

THE BUDGET AND COMMUNITY BROADCASTING
There has been a slight increase in funding for the community broadcasting sector in line with indexation.
The allocation this financial year is 22,587, up from $21,893 million last year.
The government funding allocated to the Community Broadcasting Foundation will increase over the forward years to $24,053m by 2027/28. That’s just 1.5 million extra over three years for more than 450 community stations.
Government funding is distributed to stations such as City Park Radio on a successful grant application process. If we don’t meet the criteria thresholds, we miss out.
The Government is currently working through their ‘Review into the Sustainability of Community Broadcasting’ gathering evidence for future support of community broadcasters. Whatever they decide, it will have an impact on community broadcasting like City Park Radio. Let’s hope it is a positive result.

Hi guys,
I’ve shared your position vacant on the Launceston Blues Club and my personal Facebook pages.
I tweaked it slightly to suit Facebook and they are both public posts, so let me know if there is something that needs to be changed or expanded. Or comment on the LBC page if you want to add any info.
Thanks,
Jude Simpson
Secretary
Launceston Blues Club

As always, if any of your members would like to be members of City Park Radio, I’m sure we could find a radio program slot for them.
