ABC Local Radio

ABC Local Radio is a network of publicly-owned radio stations in Australia, operated by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) within the ABC Radio division. It consists of 8 metropolitan stations in the capital cities, and 45 stations covering regional Australia.

Each station broadcasts a local mix of news, current affairs, talk back, entertainment, sport and music. Programming can either be purely local (typically on weekday mornings), broadcast from the metropolitan ABC station, or simulcast across all local services across the country (typically overnight, public holidays, in the summer months and on weekends).
