The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) is Australia's national public broadcaster, established on July 1, 1932. Initially modeled after the BBC, it was renamed in 1983 to reflect its expanded multimedia role. The ABC is funded primarily by government grants and operates as a statutory corporation governed by an independent board, ensuring editorial independence. ABC provides a wide range of services, including radio, television, and digital content. It operates several radio stations, including ABC Local Radio and Radio National, and launched its television services in 1956. The ABC also offers online streaming through platforms like ABC iview and produces podcasts. It has a strong focus on news and current affairs, maintaining international bureaus and providing parliamentary broadcasts since 1946.
