[edit] History
Radar started broadcasting online before Digital Radio launched in Australia on 11 December 2008. The station only played unsigned bands and there were no announcers on air.[2]
In 2009, the station commenced broadcasting on Digital Radio as soon as it was rolled out in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth.[3]
In late 2009, the station changed its format from unsigned music to new music. While unsigned bands were still played, they only appeared every fourth song. At the same time, Reegan McLaughlin was employed as an announcer and appeared frequently on air.
[edit] Availability
The station can be heard on DAB+ radios in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth[4].
The station also streams online at the Radar Radio website and on the Radar Radio iPad app[5].
