Noticed that with ABC Sydney having extended breakfast until 10am some time ago, ABC Central Coast is now taking mornings from ABC Newcastle.

That’s a shame for many from Sydney who’ve moved to the coast and hopeful of better signal of 702 on 92.5.
The Newcastle morning show isn’t very Newcastle in its final hour as beginning 2019, has been broadcast throughout the state save for Bega fed freqs.
For this week at least, the Newcastle-based morning show presented by Kia Handley has been airing into ABC South East in place of the local morning program.

Thanks @TV-Expert, so it’s spread further. Newcastle should have a dedicated program and likewise the other stations.
ABC Illawarra still have a local morning program with Nick Rheinberger from 8.30am. And although in NSW but runs on the SA network - Broken Hill still has their local Mornings hour at 10am as well.
As from today on ABC Radio Sydney, Afternoons with James Valentine now finishes at 3:30pm, with Drive presented by Richard Glover now airing from 3:30 to 6:30pm.
The 3:30pm start-time for Drive has been in place in Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide & Canberra since January.

Different cities seem to have a different take on that start time. In Brisbane it’s soft changeover with a song in between both programs.
In Sydney and Melbourne it is a switch from one program to the next with 2 minute news break in between.
In Adelaide however - 3.30pm to 4pm is both Afternoons host Sonya Feldhof and Drive host Jules Schiller having a chinwag and talking calls and texts on topics together for that half-hour, before Jules begins solo at 4pm.

Why did it take until now?
@glen2006 highlights interesting observation of the Adel handover, they also air the last half of the country hour into Adel, good way to share content.
I can only hope the commodities prices, usually buried at the back of the show before the 1pm news are over with before Adel takes the program otherwise surely many would flick to AA instead.
ABC Radio will broadcast this year’s International Women’s Day debate, The F Word, in most states tomorrow morning (March 6) then in Victoria and ACT on Sunday, March 8.
More info
It will then be aired on ABC Comedy on Sunday, March 8 at 11.15pm.

ABC Brisbane producer Tom Greenard is dead:
‘Natural causes’ the reason given in the staff email above.
That could be anything from heart failure, aneurysm to suicide. What was it?
Courier Mail article here:
As a result of this - the New South Wales evening program with Sarah McDonald has been heard in Queensland the past two nights. And the Gold Coast mornings program with Matt Webber has also been heard in Brisbane in place of the regular show with Rebeecca Levingston which he currently worked on.

Just heard on ABC Radio Sydney that on Monday morning they are broadcasting from a new Parramatta office. Anyone know about this, location? And is it a studio or just an office?
Last time I heard, the ABC has a bureau in Parramatta to cover news from Western Sydney region.
Karen Tighe was absent from Grandstand last weekend because she had an viral infection in her brain. This from her husband and former colleague Glenn Mitchell today.
Hope Karen get well soon.

Google Maps is telling me ABC Parramatta is at 8 Victoria Rd, which would be this building:

That building is the Parramatta Information & Cultural Exchange (aka I.C.E.) building. Website
They have studio facilities in there.
