Sky News Radio live

Sky News Radio is the radio service of Sky News Australia. Its slogan, "Real news, honest views", reflects the mix of news and opinion that Sky News is known for. It is available on digital radio and online, and on this page you can listen to it live, free and without an app.

News and politics

Sky News Radio carries news bulletins and coverage of Australian and international news, with a strong focus on federal politics. Many programmes are audio from Sky News Australia's television channel, including interviews with politicians, political analysis and live coverage of major events and press conferences.

Opinion

Sky News is known for its opinion programmes, in which commentators give their views on politics and current affairs. These programmes form an important part of the radio service in the evenings.

For news listeners

The station suits listeners who want to follow politics and the news through the day, at home, at work or in the car, and who prefer the Sky News style to talkback radio. It is also useful when you cannot watch the television channel but want to keep up with a big story.

Other news stations

On this site you will also find ABC NewsRadio, the ABC's 24-hour news network, which also broadcasts federal Parliament, and the commercial news and talk stations of each city, such as 2GB in Sydney, 3AW in Melbourne, 4BC in Brisbane, 6PR in Perth and FIVEAA in Adelaide.

Listen anywhere

The online stream works on any phone, tablet or computer, in Australia and abroad, so Australians travelling or living overseas can keep up with the news from home.
