About ABC NewsRadio
ABC NewsRadio is the ABC's 24-hour news network. It broadcasts across Australia — 630 AM in Sydney, 1026 AM in Melbourne, 936 AM in Brisbane, 972 AM in Adelaide, 585 AM in Perth, 747 AM in Hobart, 103.9 FM in Canberra and 102.5 FM in Darwin — and on regional transmitters. On this page you can listen to ABC NewsRadio live online, free. The ABC is Australia's national public broadcaster, funded by the federal government, so its stations carry no commercial advertising.
News around the clock
NewsRadio is built around the news. Bulletins, headlines and reports from ABC journalists in Australia and around the world run throughout the day, with interviews and analysis of the main stories, and business, sport and weather updates. When a major story breaks, NewsRadio follows it live.
Parliament
One of NewsRadio's best-known roles is broadcasting federal Parliament. When Parliament sits in Canberra, NewsRadio carries proceedings from the House of Representatives and the Senate, including Question Time, so listeners can hear debates as they happen.
Programmes
Outside Parliament sitting times, the network runs breakfast, morning, afternoon and drive news programmes, plus weekend editions. Some programmes come from international public broadcasters, bringing world news in English overnight. NewsRadio also carries major events such as the National Press Club addresses.
For news anywhere
NewsRadio is a handy station for anyone who wants the news without the talkback: in the car, at work or at home. Its national reach means the same coverage is available in cities and regional areas.
Other ABC networks
On this site you will also find ABC Radio National for current affairs and ideas, the ABC Local Radio stations of each city and region, ABC Sport, triple j, Double J and ABC Classic.
