ABC Radio Hobart

ABC Radio Hobart (call sign: 7ZR) is the ABC Local Radio station for Hobart, Tasmania, owned by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. It currently broadcasts on 936 kHz on the AM band. Originally the station broadcast on 1160 khz, in 1953 switched to 940 khz, and in 1978 to the present frequency. ABC Radio Hobart also operates a low power repeater station covering the Orford and Triabunna area where the AM signal is received poorly.

Most Local Radio stations in Tasmania simulcast 936's programming when not airing local shows for their areas.
