ABC iview: find the right state feed for local Australian news
Select the state version from ABC iview, match it to the official TV guide and confirm the local airtime.

Pick the state before searching for the bulletin
Open the Live TV row on ABC iview and scroll through the ABC TV streams to the state you want. The Australian Broadcasting Corporation documents state-based live streams in iview. Its TV guide gives you a schedule to compare with the selected feed. For a particular state’s news, use the local ABC TV label and check the bulletin title before the expected start.
A worked check helps if your household watches across time zones. Suppose someone in Perth wants the Queensland bulletin. They should select the Queensland feed and verify the programme time using the guide for that state, then convert it for their own clock. During periods when eastern states differ from one another, guessing from a generic “Eastern” label can put you at the wrong hour. Use the state’s name and date explicitly.
Treat the programme page and the live guide as two lookups
| Your task | Which ABC source to start from |
|---|---|
| Watch the local bulletin as it goes out | Select the state’s ABC TV live stream |
| See when a programme is scheduled | Open the ABC TV guide for the intended region |
| Watch a bulletin after its slot | Search iview for the edition or programme title and check the result date |
| Follow rolling headlines rather than a state bulletin | Look for the separately named ABC NEWS stream |
ABC’s help page describes its iview live streams as Australia-wide. Record where you are viewing and which service you opened if playback behaves differently from the guide. A listing and its playback result are separate observations.
Check the TV before the opening headlines
Open the chosen stream on the device you plan to use and bring up captions if you need them. Read the channel label once more before the bulletin. If the wrong edition plays, compare the iview state label with the guide title and your device time zone. Give those labels, the device and the programme time to ABC support if the mismatch persists.
