ABC NewsRadio

ABC NewsRadio is the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's rolling news channel, with news, reports and parliamentary coverage around the clock. The programme is built around news bulletins that repeat and update through the day, supplemented by reports from correspondents, interviews, business and sport updates, weather and analysis, and it is best known for broadcasting sittings of the federal parliament live in Canberra when it is in session. The style is concise and neutral.

The ABC is Australia's national public broadcaster, funded by the federal government, and its channels carry no commercial advertising. NewsRadio is the one to choose for people who prefer a constant flow of headlines to long discussions, and it is a useful way for those outside the country to follow Australian news and politics. The language is English, with Australian accents. Some programmes, especially sport and certain syndicated content, may be restricted outside Australia. This stream is delivered as AAC+ at 56 kbps, an efficient codec that provides a clear sound for speech at a low bitrate and uses little data, which suits mobile connections. It plays in your browser on RadioKite without installation, and you can add it to your favourites.
