AIR News
Australian Independent Radio (AIR) News is an Australia-wide radio news reporting service that delivers news bulletins as "ready to air" items in a timely manner. 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.
As well as news and sport, AIR News delivers other services including a headlines service during breakfast and drive, a news capsule for stations that wish to run a news beyond 6pm, AIR Sports Australia, a standalone sports package every morning (Monday to Friday) and an international news magazine "The World"--in collaboration with Feature Story News (FSN)--every day. 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.
The Organisation
AIR News has been operated by JA Online Services, a sole trader partnership of Arthur & Jacqui Stevens based in Melbourne since the end of 2004.
As of the beginning of the new financial year 2011-12 (1st July 2011) the business is transferred to the operation of AIR News Pty Ltd, a private company with head office based in St Kilda Rd, Melbourne and main studio in suburban Syndal (Glen Waverley)
