Children's Television Channel

There will be a Children's Television Channel up and running by Christmas as announced in yesterday's budget. This is a great achievement for the Australian Children's Television Foundation who have been lobbying for this for many years.



“The ABC’s proposal to Government was an aim to broadcasting 50% Australian content on the channel across all genres, including drama, animation and factual programming. This will ensure that future generations of Australian children can continue to see and hear Australian stories and Australian voices on children's television,” Mr Dalton (

ABC Director of Television) said.
