“We have seen the spectacular 45% growth in prime-time audience for ABC2; the new children’s channel ABC3 grabbing the number one daytime slot for its target audience of children 5-12 year-olds in its first year of operation; our iView has doubled its audience, and we have launched our first 24 hour continuous news network – ABC News 24.
“We have also seen the growing success of Q&A, a landmark ABC1 program, which has increased its audience by 23% in 2010. ABC News continues to attract an average of 1 million viewers a night (Mon-Fri), and the 2010 Election coverage on ABC TV was watched by more Australians than any other network’s coverage. Without a doubt, it has been a year to remember,” he said.
