Australian Independent Radio (AIR) News is an Australia-wide radio news reporting service that delivers news bulletins as "ready to air" items. The main stories of the day from a national and international perspective are covered and, where possible, updated throughout each day with fresh actuality and clips constantly added.

Contents

As well as news and sport, AIR News delivers other services including a headlines service during breakfast and drive, AIR Sports Australia, a standalone sports package AIR SPORT AUSTRALIA twice daily (Monday to Friday) and a 10-minute daily international news magazine "The World"—in collaboration with Feature Story News (FSN). The News service now also delivers a State or Territory News for every State or Territory in Australia every morning Monday to Friday in time for breakfast and an additional lunch and afternoon bulletin for WA (Western Australia).

The Organization

AIR News was started by JA Online Services, a sole trader partnership of Arthur & Jacqui Stevens based in Melbourne at the end of 2004.
As of the beginning of the new financial year 2011-12 (1 July 2011) the business was transferred to the operation of AIR News Pty Ltd, a private company with head office based in St Kilda Rd, Melbourne with a main studio in suburban Syndal (Glen Waverley). In mid-2012 the studio was relocated to bayside Aspendale. Then in 2019, the AIR News business was onsold to Terry Daniel (Air News Media) in Coffs Harbour. The transition took place on 1 July 2019.
