On Wednesday, May 28th, we went to the Australian Broadcasting Cooperation (ABC) for a tour. Wow, what a beauty!
The Australian Broadcasting Commission was set up by the Commonwealth Government about 75 years ago as Australia's independent public radio broadcaster. In the early years, the ABC broadcast both classical and mainstream Music, News, Rural Information, Sport, and specialist music and drama programs. Television was embraced in the 1950s with the ABC setting up facilities and transmitters countrywide. The Federal Government then re-classified the ABC as a Corporation. As technology advanced and broadcast techniques changed, the ABC further diversified into the country. The computer age arrived in the 1980s and now the Corporation operates what is possibly the largest online news and information network in Australia. Their output in Brisbane now is roughly 45% radio, 45% online and 10% television. Satellites are used to present the latest news and information from around the world.
