ABC Radio National Hobart

ABC Radio National Hobart is the Tasmanian outlet of RN, the ABC's ideas network, transmitting on 585 AM from Mount Wellington with DAB+ digital coverage alongside. The network's roots reach back to the earliest decades of Australian public broadcasting, and none of that history shows its age on air.

The programming is RN's national mix of deep-dive talk: RN Breakfast with the day's affairs and analysis, The Science Show with Robyn Williams, Late Night Live, The Health Report and Awaye! on Indigenous art and culture, plus institutions like the annual Boyer Lectures. No commercials interrupt any of it - public funding keeps the schedule ad-free.

English-language and available through the ABC listen app, DAB+ and the live web stream, the Hobart service keeps southern Tasmania plugged into the national conversation - an easy ideas-and-current-affairs radio listen online, from the Derwent to anywhere in the world.
