Triple M is set to light up the 2025 Telstra NRL and NRLW Grand Finals with unmatched live coverage, delivering every tackle, try, and match-defining moment with the most passionate call in the game.

As the Broncos and Storm prepare for a blockbuster decider, and the Roosters and Broncos battle for NRLW supremacy, Triple M has fans covered from dusk to dawn with the best analysis, laughs, and live calls across the network.

In the lead-up to Grand Final weekend, Triple M’s local Breakfast shows will deliver all the latest footy news and big-name guests, while The Rush Hour with Maroon & Hindy (NSW) and The Rush Hour with Dobbo & Elliott (Queensland) will set the agenda each afternoon. Listeners will also get their footy fix from Triple M’s league shows, including The Saturday Scrum, NRL Daily and The Journos podcast.

On Grand Final Day – Sunday, 5 October – coverage begins from midday with The Sunday Sin Bin, as Gorden Tallis, James Graham, Buzz Rothfield, and Ben “Dobbo” Dobbin, bring league fans all the colour, excitement, and feverish build-up to the huge day, live on Triple M.

At 3:30pm, attention turns to the NRLW Grand Final, with two dynasties colliding as the Brisbane Broncos and Sydney Roosters battle for bragging rights as the greatest women’s team in the professional game. Anthony Maroon, Olivia Higgins, Aaron Woods, and Kat Haddad will be on the call.

Then, at 6:30pm, the NRL Grand Final takes centre stage. With the Broncos and Storm splitting wins in their two clashes this year, the decider promises to be one of the most tightly contested in recent history. Triple M’s unrivalled commentary team, Dan Ginnane, Gorden Tallis, James Graham, and Ben Dobbin, will guide fans through every moment, with trademark passion and insight that has made Triple M the #1 NRL audio broadcaster.*

Ewan Giles, SCA Head of Sports Content, said: “We’re pumped to give league fans more of what they love this weekend: the most passionate and exciting call in the game. From the Broncos and Storm in a mouth-watering Grand Final clash, to two dynasties colliding in the NRLW, this is what footy fans live for. Triple M’s wall-to-wall coverage is exactly why we’re the #1 audio broadcaster in the NRL.”

Hear the commercials here: CANTEEN’S RADIO COMMERCIALS

Several of Australia’s major commercial radio networks – SCA, ARN and Nova Entertainment – are coming together for the first time to support young people impacted by cancer through Canteen’s Bandanna Day.

From 1 October, a radio commercial featuring radio royalty Hamish Blake (SCA), Michael “Wippa” Wipfli (Nova Entertainment) and Woody Whitelaw (ARN) will air across all three networks. The campaign, running throughout October, demonstrates radio’s unique ability to spark conversations and unite communities for an important cause. These voices are part of Australians’ daily lives, bringing trust and familiarity to Canteen’s message, especially when it comes to something as deeply personal as cancer.

Canteen’s Bandanna Day, held on 30^th October this year, is the charity’s flagship fundraising and awareness campaign. An iconic event, supported by schools, workplaces and individuals around the country, Bandanna Day has raised more than $35 million. As Canteen celebrates their milestone 40^th year, the charity – founded by young Australians, for young Australians – is embracing its spirit and trying something new and bold.

Pictured: Siona Hardy, CEO of Canteen Australia

“This incredible show of unity from Australia’s biggest radio networks sets a new benchmark for an industry-wide collaboration,” said Siona Hardy, CEO of Canteen Australia.

“Bandanna Day comes at a critical time. We are seeing more young Australians being diagnosed with more aggressive and progressed cancers. And we don’t know why. Bowel cancer alone has surged by 370%.

“With 85% of our funding coming from the community, partnerships like this are vital to ensure Canteen can continue to deliver life-saving and life-changing support to young people impacted by cancer.

“We hope this collaboration inspires other industries to unite in driving donations that provide real support when it’s needed most – and to send a powerful message to young Australians impacted by cancer: you are not alone.”

Lizzie Young, CEO of Commercial Radio & Audio (CRA), said: “This campaign represents a defining moment for commercial radio, as our members – ARN, Nova Entertainment, and SCA – have united for an important cause. By turning up the volume on Canteen’s Bandanna Day, we’re rallying Australians to stand alongside young people facing cancer.”

“Bandanna Day holds a special place in our hearts at UM. We brought the networks together because we know the difference Canteen makes for young people impacted by cancer. It’s powerful to see what’s possible when we unite behind a cause that matters, and we’re proud to play our part in amplifying it,” said Andrew Clift, Managing Partner, UM.

ABC International and Pacific Media Network (PMN) have announced a new partnership designed to foster career development opportunities and empower Pacific voices in media. 

Under the partnership, the ABC will provide an annual two-week work placement for a Pacific broadcast journalist from PMN. This “Sio ‘atu” initiative – which means “to look ahead, beyond the present towards possibilities” in Tongan – will provide a PMN journalist with international exposure, advanced skills training, and networking opportunities at the ABC. 

Don Mann, CEO of the Pacific Media Network, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership. “The National Pacific Media Trust (the owner and operator of the PMN) has a Trust Deed obligation to develop a robust pipeline of Pacific broadcast talent in New Zealand. This partnership with ABC International is a significant step in fulfilling that obligation and is a testament to the high-calibre talent we’ve developed. The ‘Sio ‘atu’ placement will provide an invaluable opportunity for our journalists to refine their skills and gain international experience, which will in turn strengthen our overall journalistic capabilities when they return and share their new knowledge with our team.”

Claire Gorman, Head of ABC International, stated, “ABC International is deeply committed to empowering Pacific voices to narrate Pacific stories, enriching content for both domestic Australian and international audiences. This new initiative formalises our commitment and strengthens our ties with a key source of high-calibre Pacific journalistic talent. We are proud to partner with Pacific Media Network to further our shared goal of professional development and cultural exchange within the media industry.”

The “Sio ‘atu” placements will be offered to PMN employees, who will be selected based on their commitment to Pacific journalism, relevant experience, and potential for professional growth. The partnership will be reviewed annually by ABC and PMN to ensure its continued success and relevance.

Outcomes of our 2025 investigations

Program or issue	Station/licensee	Description	Outcome	Report published
Licence condition matter	Radio Skid Row Ltd	Community participation in operationsCommunity participation in programming	Breach of paragraph 9(2)(c)(i) of Schedule 2 to the BSA [encourage participation in operations]Breach of paragraph 9(2)(c)(ii) of Schedule 2 to the BSA [encourage participation in programming](ref. BI-715)	29 September 2025

Sydney-based community broadcaster Radio Skid Row 88.9FM has breached community participation rules in the Broadcasting Services Act 1992, following the dismissal of a volunteer presenter. 

An Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) investigation found that the station failed to follow its own disciplinary procedure when it dismissed the presenter without giving the person clear reasons for the dismissal or offering them a right of appeal.

The ACMA found that the content of Radio Skid Row’s policies and procedures did not restrict participation on political or cultural grounds. However, the station’s failure to follow its disciplinary procedure left the presenter believing they were dismissed for their political and cultural views. 

The ACMA found that the presenter’s dismissal also contributed to a broader perception that there were barriers to participation within the station based on political and cultural beliefs.

A second investigation into complaints about Radio Skid Row’s on-air content did not find breaches of the community broadcasting codes of practice.

Authority Member Carolyn Lidgerwood said that community radio plays a unique and important role contributing to an inclusive, cohesive and diverse Australian society.

“In this role, community radio stations also have a responsibility to encourage broad participation from the communities they serve. This is particularly important when the community radio station is serving a wide and diverse community such as Radio Skid Row is,” Ms Lidgerwood said.

“When stations fail to follow their own disciplinary procedures, it can create barriers to participation and discourage community involvement. This is the opposite of what community broadcasting is intended to achieve.”

Radio Skid Row has accepted the ACMA’s findings and taken steps to improve its processes around disciplinary action and people management. The station has utilised Fair Work resources to improve the way it manages members and volunteers, reviewed its policies and procedures to make them clearer, and clarified the programming committee’s role in managing conflicts. 

The station will also implement training on policies and procedures for all new and existing volunteers and members and train its board members and management on risk, psychosocial hazards and privacy obligations.

Radio Skid Row has agreed to provide the ACMA with reports on its progress on implementing these measures and also to report to the ACMA about any disciplinary actions it takes in 2026 and 2027.
