About the station

About ABC Broken Hill

ABC Broken Hill is the ABC's local radio station for Broken Hill and far western New South Wales. It serves Broken Hill, Menindee, Wilcannia and the surrounding outback. It is part of ABC Local Radio, the network of ABC stations serving each capital city and region. On this page you can listen to ABC Broken Hill live online, free. The ABC is Australia's national public broadcaster, so its stations carry no commercial advertising.

Local news and conversation

ABC Broken Hill makes its own local programmes, led by a breakfast show with news, interviews and stories from the far west. At other times it shares programmes with the ABC Local Radio network.

On South Australian time

Broken Hill keeps South Australia's Central Standard Time, even though it is in New South Wales, because of its historical links with Adelaide. For that reason ABC Broken Hill shares programmes with ABC Radio Adelaide rather than with Sydney, the only ABC regional station in New South Wales to do so.

The silver city

Broken Hill, known as the Silver City, was built on one of the world's richest silver, lead and zinc deposits. The station follows mining, pastoral life, the arts community, tourism and the challenges of the outback, from drought to the health of the Darling River.

Emergency information

ABC Broken Hill is an official emergency broadcaster, carrying warnings during dust storms, heatwaves, floods and fires in the far west.

Outback communities

The station's area takes in remote towns and stations, including Aboriginal communities along the Darling, where local radio is an important link.

Other ABC stations

On this site you will also find ABC Radio Adelaide, which shares programmes with Broken Hill, and ABC Western Plains, ABC Riverina and the other ABC stations of New South Wales.

Listen anywhere

The online stream works on any phone, tablet or computer, so people from the far west can listen at home or away.
