ABC Local Radio stations have now ceased to identify themselves according to their callsigns and instead use the format (frequency) ABC (region), or simply ABC (region) where there are multiple frequencies broadcasting the same station. However, as these callsigns have been continuously used for up to seventy years, many listeners still use these callsigns to refer to ABC Local Radio stations.
