They drive the ABC to tell Australian stories for Australians and share their perspectives with the world.

Ita Buttrose Chair, Australian Broadcasting Corporation AUSTRALIAN BROADCASTING CORPORATION ABC CORPORATE PLAN 2019–20 3 Purpose The ABC was established in 1932 and is one of Australia’s most important civic and cultural institutions. It was built on the idea that all Australians should have access to news and entertainment services which served their needs and interests, beyond any commercial considerations. The ABC is now a public broadcaster of international renown and a much-loved part of Australian society and its cultural fabric. It delivers Australian stories and conversations across the nation. While the country has changed significantly since Through its people and services, the ABC makes a 1932, the community’s need for independent public vital contribution to society by creating engaging service media is stronger than ever.

AUSTRALIAN BROADCASTING CORPORATION ABC CORPORATE PLAN 2019–20 5 Operating Environment Over the past decade, the way people consume content has transformed radically as digital innovation and global competition have disrupted the media landscape. Australians now have access to a wider range of platforms and greater choice of content than ever before. The increasing demands for people’s attention, from video-on-demand (VOD) services, social media, messaging apps, music streaming, podcasts, gaming, and other online activities, continues to challenge all media providers. In this environment, the ABC needs to find innovative ways to invest further in distinctive high-quality content and improve audience experiences. Audience Trends Audiences have embraced services that allow them to access content how, when, and where it suits them. Mobile viewing continues to grow, with almost a quarter of Australian smartphone users viewing long-form content on a regular basis.1 Australians are also increasingly adopting internet-connected TVs and speakers – an estimated 13% of Australians own a home smart speaker2 and 4.9 million access internet content via their TV each day.3 Nearly 14 million Australians have access to some form of subscription TV. More than 11.5 million Australians now have a Netflix subscription in their household.4 In this competitive media environment, where people can choose from huge volumes of international content, drawing audiences’ attention to new Australian content is becoming increasingly difficult. Netflix’s content catalogue contains thousands of titles, but it is estimated that only 1.6% of those are Australian.5 The viewing habits of children are also changing. Children have an abundance of choice when it comes to screen entertainment options. 61% of Australian children watch YouTube at least once a week, 42% watch Netflix or Stan, 20% use a Foxtel service and 38% watch free-to-air broadcast television. 37% of children use broadcaster VOD services at least once per week.6 ABC News SA presenters Jessica Harmsen and Emma Rebellato 6 AUSTRALIAN BROADCASTING CORPORATION ABC CORPORATE PLAN 2019–20 More than 5.4 million Australians now use music Media Landscape streaming services available via websites or apps. Spotify is the clear industry leader, with nearly Australians now have an abundance of content 3.6 million users in an average week.7 Research they can choose to listen to, watch or read.

  • Mapping the Information Environment in the Pacific Island Countries: Disruptors, Deficits, and Decisions
    December 2019 Mapping the Information Environment in the Pacific Island Countries: Disruptors, Deficits, and Decisions Lauren Dickey, Erica Downs, Andrew Taffer, and Heidi Holz with Drew Thompson, S. Bilal Hyder, Ryan Loomis, and Anthony Miller Maps and graphics created by Sue N. Mercer, Sharay Bennett, and Michele Deisbeck Approved for Public Release: distribution unlimited. IRM-2019-U-019755-Final Abstract This report provides a general map of the information environment of the Pacific Island Countries (PICs). The focus of the report is on the information environment—that is, the aggregate of individuals, organizations, and systems that shape public opinion through the dissemination of news and information—in the PICs. In this report, we provide a current understanding of how these countries and their respective populaces consume information. We map the general characteristics of the information environment in the region, highlighting trends that make the dissemination and consumption of information in the PICs particularly dynamic. We identify three factors that contribute to the dynamism of the regional information environment: disruptors, deficits, and domestic decisions. Collectively, these factors also create new opportunities for foreign actors to influence or shape the domestic information space in the PICs. This report concludes with recommendations for traditional partners and the PICs to support the positive evolution of the information environment. This document contains the best opinion of CNA at the time of issue. It does not necessarily represent the opinion of the sponsor or client. Distribution Approved for public release: distribution unlimited. 12/10/2019 Cooperative Agreement/Grant Award Number: SGECPD18CA0027. This project has been supported by funding from the U.S.

  • Commercial Radio
    MEDIA RELEASE Embargoed 9.30AM AEDT 19 October 2018 Listening to Aussie radio is easier than ever with Amazon Alexa The commercial radio industry today announced the launch of the RadioApp skill for Alexa, which makes it simple and convenient for listeners to ask Alexa to play any of nearly 300 Australian AM, FM and DAB+ digital radio stations. “Listening to radio is one of the most popular uses for smart speakers, so the Australian radio industry has created a voice experience that works easily and seamlessly across all Alexa-enabled devices,” said Joan Warner, the chief executive officer of industry body Commercial Radio Australia, who announced the initiative at the Radio Alive national radio conference in Melbourne today. The RadioApp skill is now available for listeners to access simply by asking Alexa to play their favourite radio station by name or frequency. For example: “Alexa, play 2GB” “Alexa, play Smooth FM” “Alexa, play 103.5” “Alexa, play Triple M” “Australians are known as rapid adopters of new technology, and they also spend a significant part of the day listening to radio, so we’re very excited to work with broadcasters to help listeners tune into their favorite stations using only their voice,” said Kate Burleigh, Country Manager, Alexa Skills Australia and New Zealand. “The RadioApp skill for Alexa is the latest example of how to bring the simplicity and convenience of voice- technology to listeners.” The initiative makes it easier for consumers to find Australian stations from among tens of thousands of radio stations worldwide. Ms. Warner said: “Consumers have high expectations of technology, and more than ever, radio is working together as an industry to ensure our local Australian content is easily available on every platform and device,” she said.

This report has benefited from the input and comments of many people to whom the author owes his sincere thanks. In particular, I would like to thank Colin Langtry, my Australian colleague in the Radiocommunication Bureau, for his invaluable comments and explanations, as well as for his placid tolerance of my modestly evolving knowledge of his country. I would also like to express my gratitude to all officials and representatives whom I visited in Australia and who assisted me in preparing this case study, particularly to those of the Australian Communications Authority for their availability in providing support, explanations, comments, and documentation, which made up this report. Above all, I am grateful to those who were kind enough to accept this report as a succinct but fair description of the spectrum management framework in Australia.
