@ABCClassic I can listen to you via the app(s), my computer, FM radio, DAB+ Radio and now via my TV, but which has the best bandwidth/quality/bitrate etc? 🤔 I hope your techies (or tweeters) can give me a clear answer. I want to use the best feed I can get.

Hi Marcus - sorry you've been unwell. Unfortunately we only had permissions to broadcast and stream the live event, so won't be able to replay it in the future. We have released some videos from the Sydney Day of Action on our Facebook page ab.co/36BLXrP
