When local programs are not broadcast, ABC Pilbara is a relay of 720 ABC Perth. From 8 April 2019, the name of the station was changed to ABC Pilbara from its former name of ABC North West WA to better identify the station's local coverage area. On 3 May 2022, ABC Pilbara's new studios at The Pelago on Sharpe Avenue in Karratha were officially opened after relocating from their former premises in De Grey Place. According to the ABC, the new location will provide better protection from cyclones enabling the station to provide uninterrupted emergency coverage from the new studios. A new mini-bureau was also opened at Carnarvon on the same day, one of five which had already opened as part of the ABC's regional expansion. The two Carnarvon-based reporters will cover areas such as Shark Bay, Exmouth and Gascoyne Junction. (en) |
