ATBC - Australian Tamil Broadcasting Corporation live

ATBC, the Australian Tamil Broadcasting Corporation, is a Tamil-language radio station for Australia's Tamil community. Based in Sydney, it streams online for listeners across the country, and on this page you can listen to it live, free and without an app.

Tamil radio for Australia

Australia's Tamil community includes families from Sri Lanka, India, Malaysia, Singapore and other countries, and ATBC brings them programmes in their own language: news, talk, interviews, community announcements and cultural programmes.

Music

Music fills much of the day: Tamil film songs, from classic hits to the latest releases, devotional music and Carnatic music, along with requests and dedications from listeners. Programmes often mix music with conversation, quizzes and listener calls in the lively style of Tamil radio.

Community and culture

The station follows community events, festivals such as Thai Pongal and Deepavali, temple celebrations, sport and cultural performances, and it gives Tamil organisations and businesses a voice. News programmes cover events in Sri Lanka, Tamil Nadu and the wider Tamil diaspora, as well as Australian news that matters to the community.

For every generation

ATBC is a link with the language and culture of home for older listeners, and a way for younger Tamil Australians to keep in touch with their heritage.

Online radio

Because it streams online, ATBC can be heard by Tamil families in every Australian city and overseas, at home, at work or in the car.
