Since 1995, Triple J’s Unearthed initiative spotlights unsigned acts by giving them precious radio playback time and the audience that goes with it. And from October 5, its new digital-only radio station will take that exposure a step further.
There won’t be a drive show or breakfast show — just music from as-yet-unsigned acts. Unearthed’s pedigree is quite impressive; it’s where Grinspoon, Missy Higgins and Killing Heidi all started out. [ABC]
