Supplementary Budget Estimates 2010-2011 Senate Standing Committee on Environment, Communications and the Arts Answers to Senate Estimates Questions on Notice Supplementary Estimates Hearings October 2010 Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy Portfolio Australian Broadcasting Corporation Question No: 147 Hansard Ref: ECA 2-3 Topic: General Manager ABC Radio Station Townsville Senator Macdonald asked: I am concerned that the ABC radio station in Townsville has not had a general manager for, as I understand it, several months. Can you confirm that that is the case and indicate if there is a reason for that. Is the position about to be filled? What is the process? Answer: Following the transfer of the Regional Content Manager of ABC Townsville to Newcastle, a Townsville local presenter and, more recently, the Victorian Regional Content Director acted in the position of Regional Content Manager ABC Townsville. Interviews for a full time replacement manager have been held and the former Victorian Regional Content Director has now been appointed to the Regional Content Manager position in Townsville. Senate Standing Committee on Environment, Communications and the Arts Answers to Senate Estimates Questions on Notice Supplementary Estimates Hearings October 2010 Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy Portfolio Australian Broadcasting Corporation Question No: 148 Hansard Ref: ECA 3 Topic: ABC & Charitable Work Senator Macdonald asked: In relation to far North Queensland constituent, Mrs Patricia West, and her proposal for a national children’s charity run through the ABC. Could the ABC advise if there are any ways in which they could take on the role suggested by this constituent? I understand from my constituent that the sort of project that she is proposing actually happens with the BBC. Could you alert me as to if it is the same sort of program and why the BBC can do it? Answer: The ABC and the BBC are different organisations run under different charters. While the BBC may be permitted under its Charter and Agreement to engage in the charitable works identified by Mrs West, the ABC must comply with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation Act 1983 (ABC Act). The ABC Act enables the ABC to undertake activities related to its statutory functions. From time to time, the ABC broadcasts community service announcements relating to charity appeals, but the ABC does not run or administer these charities. The ABC could not make donations of funds or provide significant resources to a charity unless it was to promote the musical, dramatic or other performing arts or was otherwise intimately involved in the making of programs within the ABC Charter. Senate Standing Committee on Environment, Communications and the Arts Answers to Senate Estimates Questions on Notice Supplementary Estimates Hearings October 2010 Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy Portfolio Australian Broadcasting Corporation Question No: 149 Hansard Ref: ECA 4 Topic: ABC Self Promotion & Advertising on TV Senator Wortley asked: Can you provide advice on the log of ABC advertising for Friday 15 October 2010 between 1800 hours and 2130 hours and on Saturday 16 October 2010 between 1830 hours and 2030 hours? Answer: 15 October 1800-2130 16 October 1830-2030 Program promos 25 15 Program menus 2 0 Product promos 4 2 Brand promos 1 0 Idents 6 4 Freeview 1 0 Senate Standing Committee on Environment, Communications and the Arts Answers to Senate Estimates Questions on Notice Supplementary Estimates Hearings October 2010 Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy Portfolio Australian Broadcasting Corporation Question No: 150 Hansard Ref: ECA 4 Topic: ABC Sale of DVDs Senator Cameron asked: On the issue of ABC selling DVDs, a lot of them are imported. Given the strength of the dollar, is the ABC passing that benefit on to consumers in Australia? Answer: The majority of DVDs sold through ABC Shops and Shop Online are manufactured in Australia. DVDs with an ABC or BBC label are manufactured in Australia. The majority of other DVDs sold in ABC Shops and ABC Shop Online are pressed in Australia by Technicolour Australia. Only a small portion of DVDs are imported from overseas. In these cases, most suppliers to the ABC have a 3 month forward cover, which delays the impact of any currency changes on the ABC and therefore the ABC’s ability to pass on any benefits to our customers. Depending on the strength of the dollar, the ABC will pass on any benefits in reduced retail prices to the consumer for these items over time. Senate Standing Committee on Environment, Communications and the Arts Answers to Senate Estimates Questions on Notice Supplementary Estimates Hearings October 2010 Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy Portfolio Australian Broadcasting Corporation Question No: 151 Hansard Ref: ECA 4 Topic: Break-up of Q&A Audience Senator Abetz asked: Can you provide an update on the break-up of Q&A audiences from 17 May 2010 to date?

As you pointed out, he has appeared as a guest on our programs, but he is not an employee. Senator ABETZ: But he gets paid a fee from time to time for those appearances? Mr Scott: I would have to check on that. I do not know… Senator ABETZ: It was within the week of that column that the ABC took that decision. Compare Mr Milne's column to Mr Lowenstein's offensive comment, which remained in the ether for five weeks before an apology was finally dragged out of him. Is the ABC willing to continue to have Mr Loewenstein appear as a credible panellist on its programs? Mr Scott: That decision was made, I think, at the editorial level of Insiders. The first I have become aware of this incident was this afternoon. I can take that question on notice, but I understand this was a very offensive statement made— Answer: Antony Loewenstein is a freelance journalist, blogger and author and has appeared as a guest and commentator from time to time on various ABC Radio networks.

  • Narelle Gee Thesis
    MAINTAINING OUR RAGE: INSIDE AUSTRALIA’S LONGEST-RUNNING MUSIC VIDEO PROGRAM. By Narelle Gee BA/DipEd (University of NSW) A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Creative Industries) School of Media, Entertainment, Creative Arts, Film, Screen and Animation Creative Industries Faculty Queensland University of Technology 2015 Key Words ABC Music Television Alternative Music Music Videos Australian Broadcasting Corporation Popular Music Australian Cultural Industries Production Cultures Australian Television Public Service Broadcasting Creative Labour rage Cultural Production Television Broadcasting Media Culture Television Production Music Industry TV Programs 2 Abstract The thesis, “Maintaining our rage: inside Australia’s longest-running music video program”, takes a reflective and reflexive narrative journey across the decades of rage, from its 1987 creation through to the program’s current incarnation, providing unique insider perspectives and affordances. Australia’s longest-running music video program is also, arguably, the most sustained such program globally (Bodey, 2012; Helper, 2012). Despite its longevity, there has been scarce scholarly analysis of rage, and of what has underpinned its unusual endurance; many music video programs have come and gone during the program’s long-held tenure. How has rage survived the vicissitudes of network programming – particularly within the capricious space of music video programming - and maintained its cultural place and role, for more than a quarter of a century? The significance of this research is that it explores rage’s unusual durability, examines the program’s unique elements, and answers three key research questions: What has been the history of rage as a program and a cultural entity? What has been the cultural significance of rage? How did rage create a shift within the music industry ecology of Australia? This thesis presents an insider’s account of rage, exploring it within its ABC TV and public broadcasting context.
