4RK, better known as ABC Capricornia is one of the ABC's original regional radio stations, predating the Corporation's inception on 1 July 1932. 4RK, as it was known at the time, began broadcasting on 29 July 1931 and was owned by the Australian Broadcasting Company. The power was initially 2 kilowatts. The transmitting equipment was established by Keith Thow of STC. The station became part of the ABC, in 1932 but retained its original callsign. The station was the second regional ABC radio station in Australia. The station celebrated its 75th birthday in 2006.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The history of ABC Capricornia )〕 The station broadcasts to the region on two powerful AM transmitters - the 4RK transmitter at Gracemere (broadcasting on 837 AM) and the 4QD transmitter at Emerald (broadcasting on 1548 AM). However, ABC Capricornia also uses a number of FM translators which are strategically located throughout the region, enabling the station to be heard clearly in other towns, such as Gladstone and Biloela. Staff based at ABC Capricornia cover the ABC's television, radio and online operations for the areas including journalists, presenters and producers as well as an online producer, television reporter, and camera producer/editor. ==Local News== Currently, local news bulletins are broadcast on ABC Capricornia at 6:30 am, 7:30 am, 8:30 am, 12:00 pm and 5:30 pm weekdays. However under proposed programming changes in 2016 announced by the ABC in late October 2015, the five local bulletins on all regional ABC stations will be reduced to just two. The 8:30 am, midday and 5:30 pm local news bulletins will all be axed, with only the 6:30 am and 7:30 am news bulletins to be retained for 2016. Until 2014, the station maintained a radio news bureau in the city of Gladstone, 100 kilometres south of Rockhampton, where a radio journalist was based to cover news originating from the Gladstone region. The Gladstone-based reporter also presented ABC Capricornia's local afternoon news bulletins which were broadcast live from Gladstone. However, the ABC announced the permanent closure of the Gladstone bureau on November 24, 2014 following the Australian Government implementing funding cuts of $254 million to the ABC. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「ABC Capricornia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
