ABC DiG is a digital radio service operated by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation which began in November 2002,^[1] emerging from formats developed by Bill Gates and Phil Cullen at ABC Coast FM, which broadcast an Adult Alternative music format and was for many years ABC Radio's only continuous stream. As of 2009, ABC Radio launched the three new music services on digital radio stations.

As with Coast FM, DiG now plays music from the genres of pop, rock, blues, country, soul, jazz and world music, aimed at over-30s (including an audience perhaps graduated from the ABC's youth radio station, Triple J). Unlike other ABC radio services, it does not have announcers. It is not broadcast on AM or FM, but is available through digital radio. The dig radio services are cable radio stations in the genre sense.

Channels

There are three DiG channels:
