ABC Radio Australia is the international broadcasting and online service operated by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Australia's public broadcaster.
It had a considerable range of broadcasts to the Asian region in the 1970s and 1980s, however in the late 1990s political influence on its broadcasting range and programming limited its Asian spread.
In recent years Radio Australia programs have also become available via web streaming.
Target areas
Radio Australia's signal is primarily aimed at the Asia-Pacific region. It broadcasts in several languages - English, Mandarin Chinese, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Khmer and Tok Pisin (a pidgin commonly spoken in Papua New Guinea). A daily Pacific news bulletin is podcast in French.
Though Radio Australia does not directly target North America or Europe via shortwave, some of its transmissions can be heard in these areas [1].
