6PR Perth

6PR 882 AM remains Perth’s only commercial news-talk and sport station, broadcasting right across the metro area on 882 AM, DAB+ digital radio, and live streaming. On air from its East Perth studios since 14 October 1931, the station officially moved under the Tapt Media banner in May 2026 (following the Laundy Family Office’s acquisition of Nine Entertainment’s radio assets). Its core audience sits solidly in the 45–65+ demographic, alongside local footy fans and daily commuters.

The station's lineup is built on local breaking news, local council debates, and holding state politicians to account. Steve Mills and Karl Langdon anchor the morning rush (Breakfast with Millsy & Karl), followed by Simon Beaumont on Mornings and Jamie Burnett taking commuters home on Drive. During off-peak slots and segment transitions, 6PR spins classic hits from the 70s through the 90s, with iconic Aussie tracks from the likes of Cold Chisel and Crowded House.

According to GfK Radio 360 ratings, 6PR maintains a steady Perth market share between 6.7% and 7.3%, pulling in around 190,000 to 210,000 weekly listeners. Over the years, its newsroom has picked up multiple ACRA industry awards.

6PR is still the go-to for live AFL commentary and sharp local updates. While talkback callers can get a bit repetitive and the ad breaks run heavy, it remains one of the handiest sources for Perth news on the drive home.
