Vision Australia AMs shut down

Vision Australia has shut down its AMs in Adelaide (1197kHz), Melbourne (1179) and Perth (990), leaving its reading for the blind programming on DAB only in those markets.

I may be mistaken, but I believe the stations were typically individually owned. Vision Australia provided the programming as a part of its overall advocacy efforts in the country, which are funded in part by the government.
 
1179 in Melbourne was, long ago, 3KZ and on 1180. Back around 1969 I was offered a position there when I started to have political problems in Ecuador. That station's OM was ready to make a real Aussie bloke out of me.

That was the era when a big station in Sydney or Melbourne might have 50 or 60 employees!

Australian AM stations used the 10 kHz band plan spacing (like the Western Hemisphere) up until 1978 when they switched to the 9 kHz band plan used in Europe/Africa/Asia.
