The Gold Coast gets ABC and SBS digital radio stations

Queensland’s Gold Coast now has access to the ABC and SBS‘s digital radio (DAB+) services. This includes ABC radio’s Double J, ABC Jazz, ABC Country, ABC Sport, triple j Unearthed and ABC KIDS listen. SBS Audio includes SBS Radio 1, SBS Radio 2, SBS Radio 3, SBS Arabic24, SBS South Asian, and music stations SBS Chill and SBS PopAsia.

ABC Head of Audio Ben Latimer said:

“The addition of DAB+ will improve access to the ABC’s wealth of audio services for audiences on the Gold Coast. These audiences will experience high-quality audio across our range of popular digital audio brands like Double J, ABC Sport and the ABC Kids listen.”

SBS Acting Director of Audio and Language Content Pamela Cook said:

“With the latest Census data showing nearly a third of Gold Coast residents were born overseas, the launch of DAB+ radio means more Australians can now enjoy SBS Audio’s full suite of over 60 language services. This provides news, community stories, entertainment, plus a new SBS South Asian destination channel.”
