The Country Hour is Australia's longest running radio program, established in The program is currently broadcast on all regional ABC Local Radio stations from midday to 1pm each weekday, presenting news from rural and regional Australia, with a heavy focus on the agricultural industry. The program features live interviews and stories that are compiled by the ABC's rural reporters who are based at each regional station. National Rural News , a national five-minute rural news bulletin is broadcast on The Country Hour at pm. General national news headlines are broadcast at pm followed by a weather update. Market reports are delivered by designated correspondents just prior to the conclusion of the program at pm. There are currently seven separate local editions of The Country Hour that are broadcast to each Australian state and territory, with the exception of the Australian Capital Territory. Due to The Country Hour being aired at noon on regional ABC stations, the national current affairs program The World Today is aired on a one-hour delay in regional areas, whereas it is broadcast at midday on ABC stations in the capital cities. The concept of The Country Hour arose during World War II when research indicated educational content on radio had the potential to increase productivity for the war efforts, particularly in the agriculture sector. Stories that had been planned for the first few weeks of The Country Hour included coverage of stock sales at Homebush ; an interview with a Pheasant enthusiast; an educational piece about a poultry factory; and an account of haymaking at Hawkesbury Agricultural College. The format of The Country Hour was strategically planned to ensure the program rated as highly as possible. Airing from pm until pm, Douglass had programmed the show around a national news bulletin at pm and ensured the program was book-ended with a radio serial such as The Lawsons or Blue Hills. Such radio serials were generally popular with women, but Douglass had some input into what script-writer Gwen Meredith included in her work, to make the serials more relevant to The Country Hour' s audience. This resulted in the inclusion of relevant and accurate farming references in serial's such as Blue Hills. By the s, the ABC had begun placing rural reporters at their regional stations so more locally-relevant stories could be presented to rural audiences, and enabling local state editions of The Country Hour.
