After a century on the AM band, ABC Radio stations in Perth will move to FM in 2026

In short

ABC Radio Perth, Radio National and News Radio will move from the AM to FM band.

The move will greatly improve audio quality for listeners, reduce interference and result in financial savings.

What's next?

The switchover date and new frequencies for the three AM stations will be announced in the new year.

Just skipped FM, then. Pretty neat that AM was viable so long.
