The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) is Australia's national public broadcaster, established in 1932 as the Australian Broadcasting Commission through federal legislation to provide independent radio services modeled after the BBC, replacing earlier private and government-contracted systems.
It expanded into television in 1956, introduced color broadcasting in 1975, and now operates multiple TV channels, radio networks like ABC Radio National and Triple J, plus digital platforms including abc.net.au for news, education, entertainment, and cultural content reaching all Australians.
Fully government-funded yet editorially independent under the 1983 ABC Act, it delivers impartial journalism, documentaries, dramas, music, and children's programming with a focus on national unity, diversity, and innovation.
