ABC Classic FM is an Australia n Classical Radio station available in major centres around the country. Formed in the 1970s as ABC-FM (also known as ABC Fine Music), it was the ABC 's first experiment in FM broadcasting. FM broadcasting became a necessity in Australia as broadcasters were fast running out of AM frequencies on which they could broadcast. Classic FM, based in part on BBC Radio 3 , broadcasts classical music, operas, recitals, live concerts and music analysis programmes. Like all ABC Radio stations (except Triple J , which operates its own service), it also broadcasts ABC News 's bulletins. On 19 December , 2005 , to move in line with other ABC Radio networks (except Triple J and Radio Australia ), its bulletins changed from national news bulletins to state-based bulletins. On weekdays, the news bulletins can be heard at 5.00am, 5.30am and hourly from 6.00am to 1.00pm and 4.00pm to 7.00pm, including an extended 10-minute bulletin at 7.00am (all other bulletins are 5 minutes in duration). On weekends, there are news bulletins hourly from 5.00am to 10.00am and at 12noon, 5.00pm and 7.00pm. PROGRAMS AND PRESENTERS
