The flagship national program for the community radio sector since 2004, The Wire is a significant alternative voice in Australian current affairs.

Radio listeners to local community and Indigenous radio are the foundation audience for The Wire.  More than 5 million people across Australia can tune-in any weekday.

Our broadcast stations are spread across city, country and remote parts of Australia. They include many remote Indigenous communities and places with no other broadcast media.

The Community Radio Network satellite and the CAAMA Radio satellite deliver the live program to more than 200 stations each weekday.
