  • Australian Broadcasting Corporation
    AUSTRALIAN BROADCASTING CORPORATION SUBMISSION TO THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES STANDING COMMITTEE ON COMMUNICATIONS, TRANSPORT AND THE ARTS INQUIRY INTO THE ADEQUACY OF RADIO SERVICES IN NON-METROPOLITAN AUSTRALIA November 2000 INTRODUCTION Each sector of the Australian broadcasting system brings to the system its particular strengths. The national broadcasting sector brings strengths of innovation, comprehensiveness, independence, quality, diversity, a sense of national identity and reflection of the regional and cultural diversity of the Australian community. All Australians are entitled to the balance of wide appeal and specialised programs which enrich their lives no matter where they live. This submission describes the role of the ABC in regional and rural Australia and its ongoing commitment to reflecting the interests of all Australians. It outlines the ABC services that are currently available to audiences in non-metropolitan areas, with particular emphasis on ABC Radio. It demonstrates how the ABC has, through technological opportunities, built on the strengths and community base of its regional infrastructure to expand services to local and regional communities beyond the medium of radio. It describes how the digital environment provides an opportunity for the ABC to further enhance these services through a range of initiatives. THE ABC’S COMMITMENT TO REGIONAL AND RURAL AUSTRALIA The ABC’s role is to provide innovative and comprehensive broadcasting services for all Australians. Regional and rural Australians are entitled to expect the same choice and quality of ABC programming that is delivered to metropolitan Australia. Under its Charter, the ABC broadcasts services which contribute to a sense of national identity, inform and entertain Australians and reflect the regional and cultural diversity of the Australian community.

  • Public Interest and Private Passion
    Chapter 16 PUBLIC INTEREST AND PRIVATE PASSION Ken Inglis on the ABC Glyn Davis ‘A lot of history,’ writes Ken Inglis in his introduction to This Is the ABC, ‘is concealed autobiography, and this book more than most.’1 Ken starts the 521-page volume with his own story. Just three years older than the ABC, he recalls the radio voices of his youth. He listened to the wireless with family, trying out radio sets sold in his father’s timber yard, joinery and hardware shop. Ken recalls the unfamiliar British voices, learning about cricket, a coronation and arguments about public policy. Later there would be a world war described each night on the radio, and in adulthood ABC television was part of everyday family life. As a young academic he gave occasional talks on the air and, as professor of history and vice-chancellor at the University of Papua New Guinea, he joined the audience of Radio Australia. So when the ABC board approached him in July 1976 about writing a history of the national broadcaster, it was an entry into a life already deeply entangled with the ABC as a ‘listener and a viewer.’ Now the professional historian could provide a critical view of a personal passion. Public interest and private passion As Bridget Griffen-Foley observes, ‘Inglis does not write himself into his histories in a self-conscious or fashionable way. And yet he is a subtle presence nonetheless.’2 This paper examines how Ken Inglis explored public broadcasting, and his decision to devote years of patient research to producing two large volumes on the ABC – one as an official historian, the second as an independent scholar.

  • ABC Television Sport: Public Broadcasting, Innovation and Nation Building
    ABC Television Sport: Public Broadcasting, Innovation and Nation Building Michael Ward Bachelor of Arts, Murdoch University Supervisor: Distinguished Professor Stuart Cunningham Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts (Research) Creative Industries Faculty Queensland University of Technology 2017 Keywords Public broadcasting, innovation, nation building, sport, cricket, World Series Cricket, Dix Inquiry, public broadcasting policy. ii Abstract ABC TV test cricket coverage to the 1970s showed that only the ABC had the national organisation, infrastructure and network to organise, negotiate and deliver sport across the country. The ABC dominated cricket broadcasting as commercial interest and coverage was sporadic. However, this changed with World Series Cricket. (WSC). The received wisdom in popular culture, history and myth is of a WSC “revolution”. While WSC was a pivotal moment, much of what is perceived as a revolutionary change in fact evolved from innovative production and audience strategies developed over twenty years. Post-WSC the ABC reinvented itself as a sports broadcaster. The 1970s changes established a point of departure for a second era of ABC televised sport, with a new focus on local (state and territory) competitions and codes, and a range of sports that had been ignored by commercial broadcasters. The history of the ABC’s development of a television audience for test cricket and a cricket rights market pre- WSC, and its development of profile for minority and regional sports post-WSC, are examples of public broadcasting’s innovation role, providing insight into how the ABC provided key research and development for the broadcasting ecosystem. This thesis charts that history of public broadcasting R&D, using ABC television sports as an illustration of the ABC’s role as both a comprehensive and a complementary broadcaster – at different times.
