And it\u2019s in its prime, with strong audiences reaching nearly 6% of the population.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn a period of immense change, I think we can all be proud of a service that has withstood the test of time,\u201d said Tanya Nolan, ABC Managing Editor, Audio News &amp; Current Affairs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s become an essential service for many, bringing Australians trustworthy, timely and comprehensive news and analysis, as it happens.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA huge thank you to the NewsRadio team for driving that success and for delivering for Australians news they can trust, each and every day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>NewsRadio\u2019s origins lie in the Parliamentary Proceedings Broadcasting Act of 1946, which required the ABC to broadcast on radio the proceedings of the House of Representatives and the Senate, a statutory obligation we still have today.<\/p>\n<p>In 1988, the ABC moved live parliamentary broadcasting from Local Radio onto a new station dedicated to broadcasting live sessions of both houses of Federal Parliament, called the Parliamentary Broadcasting Network.<\/p>\n<p>PBN\u2019s remit was expanded in 1994, with the ABC taking advantage of the network\u2019s national reach to launch a rolling news service on the days when parliament was not sitting. It became PNN, the Parliamentary and News Network.<\/p>\n<p>ABC NewsRadio, as we now know it, was born.<\/p>\n<p>Initially only available in the nation\u2019s major cities, its coverage quickly grew to take in regional centres and remote areas. Today, NewsRadio has a network of 84 AM\/FM transmitters, reaching an estimated 97.04% of Australians.<\/p>\n<p>You can also hear NewsRadio\u2019s continuous news service every day online via the ABC Listen website and ABC Listen app and on digital radio (DAB+).<\/p>\n<p>Its TV audio channel on TV has further extended its reach to another 420 transmitters around the country.<\/p>\n<p>Even in the most remote corners of the country, you can hear NewsRadio via the direct-to-home satellite service (VAST).<\/p>\n<p>ABC NewsRadio\u2019s Thomas Oriti spoke with ABC Director, News Justin Stevens about the legacy of the station and what\u2019s in store for its future.\u00a0\u00a0Listen\u00a0<a class=\"Link_link__5eL5m ScreenReaderOnly_srLinkHint__OysWz Link_showVisited__C1Fea Link_showFocus__ALyv2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.abc.net.au\/listen\/programs\/news-specials\/three-decades-of-abc-newsradio-\/104228226\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-component=\"Link\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NewsRadio team August 1994: L-R Russell Powell, Vanessa Meyer, Paul Vincent, Kendal Hodgman, Ian Wolfe, Julian Brophy, Di Francis, Stuart Gary, Russell Stendell, Belinda Doyle, Bernadette Skuse, Bud Eastley.\u00a0 ABC NewsRadio, the nation&#8217;s only live and continuous radio news network, today celebrates 30 years as a rolling news service.
