a local Country Hour program at midday and afternoon drive time. During the mid-afternoon and evening, the regional stations will act as satellites of the nearest metropolitan station, usually the capital city station. Despite the loss of 100 websites from the ABC, the regional network introduced local news websites for its 48 stations containing a mix of news and lifestyle content for regional audiences. Some programmes are aired first on ABC Radio National, and then at a later time on the Local Radio network, for example Speaking Out, hosted by Larissa Behrendt, which broadcasts on Radio National on Fridays at 8pm and on Local Radio on Sundays at 9pm.
