[edit] Programming

ABC Upper Hunter opts-out of ABC Newcastle programs at 6.30am for a local news bulletin presented from Muswellbrook, followed the Hunter Rural and Resources Report, and a local breakfast program, which includes another local news bulletin at 7.30am. The station rejoins the network at 7.45am. It also broadcasts The Country Hour at noon. Outside of these times, it carries ABC Newcastle programs, including Newcastle Knights and Newcastle Jets games.

In mid 2007, the Hunter Rural and Resources Report was made available as a podcast.
