Recordings are generally broadcast at least once, and assessed for inclusion in either the recorded material archive or the general Fine Music Sydney recordings library. Concerts in the recorded material archive will be re-broadcast periodically as part of programs dedicated to local recordings. Concerts in the general library will be broadcast as part of Fine Music Sydney regular programming.

If a live broadcast is arranged the right to withdraw the performance is waived unless the live broadcast is cancelled with a month’s notice in writing as the time slot has to be reallocated in programming.
