ABC has announced a new digital TV station
http://www.abc.net.au/abc2/
ABC2 is the ABC'S new digital free to air television channel launching in
March 2005.
ABC2 will show a great range of general programming including children's,
regional, documentary, arts, international and regional news shows. It will
be a complementary service to the main ABC channel offering time-shifted
programming, where audiences can see favourite programs again or catch
programs they missed on the main channel.
ABC2 will include several hours of children's shows each day, so families
and children will be able to switch between the ABC main channel and ABC2
throughout the day, to access many hours of continuous, safe and trusted ABC
Kids TV.
The channel will also feature some new content created exclusively for ABC2
and the complementary ABC Broadband service. This will mostly be short,
interstitial content including animations, music videos and kids education
programs. it will also include a series of short programs featuring stories
from regional Australia. Audiences will also be able to access these short
programs on demand, any time that suits them, through the ABC Broadband
service.
Audiences will be able to watch ABC2 on channel 21 on free to air television
if they have a digital set top box or integrated digital television set.
ABC2 will also be available on channel 126 as part of the basic packages
from Pay TV providers Foxtel and Austar.
