ABC Australia

ABC Australia is the international television service of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, made for audiences across the Asia-Pacific region. The English-language channel has carried several names over the years and today presents Australian news alongside a broader slice of Australian television. It appeals to viewers interested in Australia, to students planning to study there, and to Australians living abroad.

The schedule combines news and current affairs from Australia and the region with documentaries, lifestyle and factual programmes, drama, children's shows and some sport. Programmes on nature, travel, education and Australian culture give it a mixed, general-interest feel rather than that of a pure news channel. It is also a handy way to hear Australian English in everyday use.

If you like international channels, NoWireTV also offers NHK World Japan, ABC News and Euro News.

Stream ABC Australia live on NoWireTV through the website, the Android app, or on Android TV and Fire TV. Watch Australian documentaries and news on the big screen at home, or open the channel on your phone when you have a few spare minutes.
