ABC News is a national 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. Although the ABC is owned and funded by the Australian Government, the editorial independence of the ABC is ensured through the Australian Broadcasting Corporation Act (Cwlth) 1983.
The flagship radio news programs, AM, The World Today and PM are broadcast over various ABC radio outlets. The division also produces ABC NewsRadio, Australia's only 24-hour continuous news radio channel, as well as producing hourly radio news bulletins and programmes on ABC Local Radio, ABC Radio National, ABC Classic FM and Triple J, and the ABC News channel, Australia's only free-to-air 24 hour news channel.
ABC television news bulletins are broadcast throughout the day — including the flagship nightly 7pm state-based bulletins. Bulletins focus strongly on issues of state relevance, with a greater inclusion of national and international news items than are found in the news bulletins of commercial broadcasters.
News Breakfast is broadcast weekdays from 6am - 9am on ABC and the ABC News channel from ABC's Melbourne studios and is presented by Virginia Trioli and Michael Rowland, sports presenter Paul Kennedy and weather presenter Nate Byrne. The programme is also shown online and on Australia Plus in the Asia Pacific region.
