Localish

Localish is the lifestyle channel of ABC Owned Television Stations, packaging the most uplifting local storytelling from the group's newsrooms into a national service. Its schedule celebrates the positive side of local news: neighbourhood businesses, community heroes, food and culture, innovation and feel-good features, sourced from ABC's owned stations in major markets and curated for viewers beyond those cities. The brand succeeded the group's earlier Live Well Network experiment, refining the formula around sharable, story-driven segments. Localish is carried on the stations' subchannels and streaming platforms, with authorised viewing through ABC's own services.
