The ABC has selected the Tapangka site in the Adelaide CBD as its preferred new location.

The ABC and the South Australian government will partner with Renewal SA to progress plans for a new Arts and Media Hub on Franklin Street (the former Adelaide Bus Station site), subject to the required State and Federal Public Works Committee approvals. 

The proposed new ABC facility will house modern production studios alongside content making, technical and administrative operations. Design, planning and approvals will continue throughout 2026–27.

The ABC, together with the South Australian government, representing Country Arts SA, State Theatre Company South Australia, and State Opera South Australia, selected the Tapangka site following a detailed feasibility study and site selection process.

The new ABC building is expected to be completed by FY 2031.

ABC Managing Director Hugh Marks: “Today is a significant day for the ABC and we’re delighted to take the next step with the SA government to secure a new arts hub. The new home for the ABC Adelaide location is fit for purpose for a modern public broadcaster. Moving to new state-of-the-art facilities central to the CBD and co-locating with government arts organisations offers enormous benefits to the broader arts community and our staff, audiences, and the creative sector.”

Hon. Peter Malinauskas MP Premier of South Australia: “Our brand new Arts & Media Hub will serve as a catalyst for creativity, innovation, and collaboration in the Adelaide CBD. Franklin Street will become a portal for all South Australians to experience, participate and engage with the arts in a way they have never been able to before. It will ensure that the ABC has a state-of-the-art home in Adelaide to ensure South Australians will continue to have access to news and information they can trust, together with safe, engaging and educational content for their children. Our Government is continuing to transform our CBD and make it a better place to live, work, play and create.”

Work and planning on the decommissioning of the ABC Adelaide Collinswood property will progress in line with the construction of the Tapangka Arts and Media Hub.

The ABC, together with Country Arts SA, State Theatre Company South Australia and State Opera South Australia, will remain at Collinswood over the next five years as divestment planning is undertaken in preparation for sale of the current Adelaide site.

ABC News has announced that senior journalist Sabra Lane will join its Hobart newsroom and present the Tasmanian 7PM News bulletin on Saturdays and Sundays.  

Lane joins weekday presenter Guy Stayner as the faces of the flagship bulletin. She will also contribute to the state newsroom’s reporting across all platforms, including analysis, features and in-depth Stateline interviews.   

Lane moved to Tasmania in 2020 and until December was presenter of audio current affairs flagship AM for nine years.  

Sabra Lane: “I feel honoured to be given the opportunity to present the weekend 7pm TV bulletin as it’s an important news source for all Tasmanians. 

“I moved to Tasmania in 2020 because it was my dream and it’s become my home. I’ve made many friends through ocean swimming, sketching and discovering the state, from Hobart to Boat Harbour, Binalong Bay, Orford and Cockle Creek. 

“Most Australians nominate local news as important to them. The Hobart ABC newsroom and offices in Launceston and Burnie are powerhouses of Tasmanian storytelling and many colleagues have become great friends.   

“As the media landscape continues to splinter I hope I’m able to help elevate Tasmanian stories, spotlight and hold those in power accountable for their decisions, as well as persuade more Tasmanians to tune in and make the ABC their main, trusted news source.”  

Lane has been covering federal politics in Canberra since 2008 and joined AM in 2017. Her other ABC roles have included being Chief Political Correspondent for 7.30 and for Radio Current Affairs. 

The KIIS Network and iHeartLIVE have once again redefined fan access, delivering one of the most coveted entertainment experiences of 2026, as just 100 lucky fans came face-to-face with global megastars Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi.

The exclusive event, held at ARN’s North Sydney headquarters to celebrate the release of “Wuthering Heights”, was one of only three official appearances the pair made in Sydney, giving local fans rare, up-close access to two of Hollywood’s most in-demand stars.

Hosted by the KIIS Network’s Kent ‘Smallzy’ Small, the intimate Q&A offered fans candid insight into the film, with Robbie and Elordi sharing funny and surprising stories from the set, reflecting on their time in Sydney, and offering personal insights into their experiences making the film.

Robbie discussed the intensity of balancing her role as both lead actor and producer, while Elordi praised her leadership, describing her as “the world’s greatest boss.” They also revealed surprising details from filming on the Yorkshire moors, including having to create artificial mist due to unseasonably sunny weather conditions.

In a special moment that drew huge excitement from the crowd, Robbie and Elordi surprised the 100 KIIS listeners in attendance with tickets to see Wuthering Heights in cinemas, ensuring they were among the first in Australia to experience the film on the big screen.

The exclusive event highlighted ARN’s ongoing transformation into a full-fledged entertainment company, with iHeartLIVE bringing fans closer than ever to the world’s biggest stars.

With demand far exceeding availability, KIIS and iHeartLIVE once again proved their ability to deliver rare, up close experiences – turning moments usually reserved for industry insiders into memories for lucky audiences.

“Wuthering Heights”, starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, is now showing in Australian cinemas ahead of Valentine’s Day.

One of Australia’s most popular and high-profile comedic duos, The Inspired Unemployed, is bringing their podcast back in April to LiSTNR, Australia’s leading commercial podcast network. This return marks an exciting new chapter for Matt Ford and Jack Steele, renowned for their signature humour, authenticity, and relatable storytelling.

Since its launch, The Inspired Unemployed podcast has become a standout success in the Australian podcast landscape, building a fiercely loyal audience and creating a brand that spans audio, digital platforms, social media, brand partnerships and television. Known for their unfiltered banter, outrageous anecdotes, and genuine mateship, hosts Matt Ford and Jack Steele have translated their viral social media appeal into sustained brand growth and cultural impact.

After a brief hiatus since their last episode in August 2024, the duo are returning with fresh episodes and content under their new LiSTNR partnership.

The duo bring a global following, with a combined 4.2m followers engaging with their content across Instagram and TikTok. Their ability to connect through relatable humour and distinctly Australian storytelling has positioned the podcast, and their broader brand appeal, as a powerhouse that resonates strongly with younger demographics and mainstream audiences alike.

Matt Ford, creator and co-host said: “Honestly, we’re bloody pumped. Our podcast has always just been us talking rubbish and somehow people keep listening, which is unreal. Joining LiSTNR feels like a big step for the show and gives us the chance to make it even bigger. The support from listeners since day one has been insane, so we’re keen to keep doing what we do, just on a bigger scale.”

Jack Steele, creator and co-host said: “It still blows our minds that a podcast that started as two mates having a chat has grown into what it is now. The audience we’ve built is everything to us, and this move is all about giving them more, more episodes, more stupid stories, and more of the stuff they actually tune in for. We’re frothing to get stuck into this next chapter with LiSTNR and see where we can take it.”

Sam Cavanagh, Head of Content – LiSTNR Original Podcasts said: “We’re thrilled to welcome The Inspired Unemployed to LiSTNR. Matt and Jack have built one of Australia’s most recognisable and successful comedy brands. Their fiercely dedicated fanbase has waited patiently for the podcast to return, and we’re pumped to help them make this next season even bigger and better.”

With a proven track record, viral reach, and a fiercely loyal audience, The Inspired Unemployed podcast is set to expand its footprint under the new LiSTNR partnership, delivering the humour, chaos and authenticity listeners have come to love, while unlocking new commercial opportunities through LiSTNR’s world class AdTech Hub and cutting-edge technology.

The Inspired Unemployed will bring their podcast back on LiSTNR, with new episodes available from Wednesday April 1 on the free LiSTNR app, or wherever you listen to your podcasts.

KIIS and iHeartLIVE have launched their 2026 live events calendar in unforgettable fashion, delivering an exclusive backstage experience with global hitmakers OneRepublic, hosted by the KIIS Network’s Kent ‘Smallzy’ Small.

Ahead of the band’s highly anticipated Australian tour kicking off in Sydney over the weekend, Smallzy welcomed eight lucky KIIS listeners backstage at Qudos Bank Arena for the ultimate iHeartLIVE fan moment.

The intimate experience saw listeners take part in a private Q&A with OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder, where he opened up about his career, collaborations and upcoming music. Fans were also treated to an exclusive stripped-back acoustic performance of some of the band’s biggest global hits, performed by Tedder on guitar, before enjoying a personal meet-and-greet and photo opportunity.

During the Q&A, Tedder shared candid insights into his career, revealing the biggest lesson he learnt about fame from Miley Cyrus, admitting his most nerve-racking collaboration was working alongside Beatles legend Sir Paul McCartney, and confirming he is currently working on new music with Australian electronic duo Empire of the Sun. Tedder also revealed OneRepublic recently shifted the release date of their upcoming album to avoid competing with a scheduled Harry Styles album launch.

The experience extended beyond the venue, with Tedder sharing highlights from the event with his near one million Instagram followers, further amplifying the reach of the iHeartLIVE brand and KIIS’ audience engagement.

The OneRepublic event marks the first of many exclusive iHeartLIVE experiences planned for 2026, continuing KIIS’ commitment to delivering once-in-a-lifetime access to global music stars for Australian fans.

The KIIS Network has officially taken iHeartLIVE to the next level – announcing one of the most exclusive and star-studded fan events Australia has ever seen.

Off the back of an already explosive start to the iHeartLIVE 2026 lineup, KIIS is upping the ante by securing two of the most in-demand stars on the planet – Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi – for a one-off, money-can’t-buy event celebrating “Wuthering Heights”, one of the most highly anticipated cinema releases of the year.

Global box office powerhouse. Fashion icon. Academy Award nominee. Margot Robbie is one of the most influential and obsessed-over stars in the world right now. Alongside her is Jacob Elordi—Australia’s own international breakout, whose meteoric rise has made him one of Hollywood’s most sought-after leading men.
