The radio in Australia has over 600 stations including songs and podcasts. It is operated by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), Australia’s public broadcaster. Most programming is in English, rarely some in French. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Australia
Radio Australia constantly faces competition with America, as the number of delivery platforms has increased. Since both Australia and the US are popular English speaking countries, they seem to be in competition with each other in the media. Both radio systems are government-funded.
Like Americans, Australians use the radio to get their daily news and listen to music while in the car. One of their common radio stations is called ABC Radio Australia.
ABC News is a public news service in Australia produced by the News and Current Affairs division of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. The division is responsible for all news-gathering and production of news output for ABC television, radio and online services. Established in 1947. https://www.allyoucanread.com/australian-newspapers/
