For years, ABC Radio presenters have tiptoed around the public-broadcasting dilemma of making talkback provocative enough to engage the audience, without committing the cardinal sin of editorialising.

 Resources - The power of talk - 12 May 2004
The rise of the talkback format in Australia is, in part, an accidental consequence of the deregulation of Australian commercial radio in the Broadcasting Act of 1992.
By the end of the 1980s, commercial radio was in dire financial straits as a result of a major upheaval of media ownership, the regulatory structures installed with the government's National Radio Plan, and the excessive prices paid by AM proprietors to convert to the FM band.
While talkback radio is routinely regarded as the preferred location for the expression of a narrowly conservative range of social views, we don't actually have research which demonstrates that this is the case - or, if it is, what are the reasons and the implications for our society.
