Notes This is only an indicative analysis of ABC Radio output. It reflects one week of regular programming for each network. It does not include the 24-hour digital music services dig, digJAZZ and digCOUNTRY, the content of which is 100% music.
In 2004–05, ABC Radio changed the genres against which its output is reported. As the new genre categories do not map cleanly onto the previous set, it is not possible to provide a meaningful comparison with 2003–04 output levels.
The analysis of Local Radio is generic only (this analysis is based on Sydney (metro) and a regional Queensland station). It does not take into account station-to-station or seasonal program variations.

In addition, the ABC leases shortwave transmission services on transmitters in Darwin, Singapore, Taiwan and the United Arab Emirates, which are provided by three separate commercial transmission providers. The ABC uses these transmission facilities for varying numbers of hours each day to broadcast Radio Australia on varying shortwave frequencies to targeted areas in Asia.
Radio Australia is also transmitted across south-east Asia and Pacific region on the PAS-8 and PAS-2 satellites in association with ABC Asia Pacific. This makes Radio Australia available to partner stations across the region.
Radio Australia operates its own 24-hour FM relay network in English which is available in Dili (106.5), Honiara (107), Nadi (92.6), Phnom Penh (101.5), Port Moresby (101.9), Port Vila (103) and Suva (92.6). Appendices for the year ended 30 June 2005 211 Annual Report 2004–05 Appendices
