Английская Википедия:ABC News (Australian TV channel)
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Redirect2 Шаблон:Use Australian EnglishШаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox television channel ABC News (formerly ABC News 24; also referred to as the ABC News channel) is an Australian 24-hour news channel launched and owned by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.[1][2][3] The channel replaced and used the then-former ABC HD channel space (which simulcast ABC TV in high definition) and commenced broadcasting as ABC News 24 at 7:30 pm (AEST) on Thursday, 22 July 2010.[4][5]
The network is a division of the ABC's News and Current Affairs department. The majority of the channel's content is produced from the studios of the ABC's Sydney station, ABN, in Ultimo, Sydney which the public can view being presented from an atrium looking into the news presentation studio. The ABC's breakfast television programme, News Breakfast, Afternoon Briefing and the evening programme The World is produced at ABV Southbank, Melbourne (weekdays).
Due to the relaunch of ABC HD on 6 December 2016, the picture format of the ABC News channel was reduced to standard definition.[6]
History
The ABC announced in January 2010 that it planned to launch a 24-hour news channel.[1] The logo of ABC News 24 was revealed by Freeview in their new promotion on Tuesday 22 June.[7] The official promotional reel for the channel was launched on digital channel 24 between 6 and 8 July.[8]
Speculation about a launch date for the channel took place in the weeks prior to the official announcement. The Daily Telegraph claimed in early July that the channel would be delayed due to technical issues at the ABC's new playout facility, MediaHub, in south west Sydney while other outlets reported that the channel was on track to begin in mid-July.[9]
The ABC announced on 13 July 2010 that the channel would have its first live broadcast on 22 July.[4][5]
In November 2016, the ABC announced that ABC News 24 and ABC NewsRadio would be rebranded under a unified ABC News brand.[10] The relaunch occurred on 10 April 2017.[11][12]
Reception
Since the commencement of regular broadcasting, the reaction to the new news channel has been mixed. A particular concern has been the pressure placed upon the budget and operations of both the news division of the ABC, as well as the broadcaster as a whole, particularly the shifting of funds from other departments like drama, Indigenous, documentary and children's [13] owing to the decision to launch the channel without additional Government funding, as was the case with the recent launch of the children's channel ABC3 (now named ABC ME).
In Senate Estimates hearings in February 2012, the broadcaster confirmed a $2.5 million shortfall in the budget for its news and current affairs division and imposed a 1.5% cut in newsroom budgets, though denies the link to the channel, instead pointing to recent major news events in the past year such as the Christchurch earthquakes and flooding in Queensland and Victoria.[14] However, Independent Senator Nick Xenophon has blamed the reported $20 million annual cost of the network for cutbacks in ABC TV sports coverage of the SANFL.[15]
However, the network has seen success with high viewership compared to competitor Sky News Australia, with reach exceeding 2 million viewers weekly, tripling that of Sky News.[16]
The channel's highest primetime viewership share was 9.5% during the 2016 Federal election coverage on 2 July 2016.[17]
Programming
ABC News programming consists of a mix of live news bulletins, time-shifted repeats of existing ABC News and Current Affairs output, live broadcasts from events (such as Parliament Question Time and selected press conferences), documentaries and factual and arts programming.[18] These draw upon the ABC's own resources and those of its Шаблон:Citation needed span
On weekdays, throughout most of the day, straight news programming is presented from one of the studios in Ultimo. At 7pm (AEST/AEDT), the channel features the topical debate program The Drum, which is also the weekdays' sole non-hard news show. General rolling news continues from 8pm AEST/AEDT (only interrupted from 9:45pm to 11pm by a specialist Asian-focused business bulletin and The World) before ABC News switches to the overnight format at 12:30am AEST/AEDT which features a mix of repeats of the day's programs and (usually live) news content from the partner broadcasters. Live ABC-produced news bulletins air once per hour until 4am AEST/AEDT.
On weekends, except the Weekend Breakfast news block, the channel airs a live news bulletin at the top of almost all hours, which lasts 15 or 30 minutes. Occasionally it is a one-minute headline recap. A live news hour is featured on Sundays at 7pm. ABC News switches to the overnight format at 12:15am AEST/AEDT, without any live newscast until the next morning.
Live newscasters are Karina Carvalho (ABC News Mornings), Ros Childs (midday), Gemma Veness and Kirsten Aiken (Afternoon Briefing), Joe O'Brien (ABC News Tonight), Michael Tetlow (weekday editions of ABC Late News/News Overnight), Miriam Corowa (weekends), Mariam Saab (ABC News Weekend and weekend editions of ABC Late News/News Overnight). Specialist and feature programming includes a daily business programme covering the Asia-Pacific region, a topical debate programme entitled The Drum presented by Julia Baird and Ellen Fanning and an international bulletin with Beverley O'Connor entitled The World presented from ABC Melbourne Studio.[18][19]
News Breakfast and ABC News at Noon
Existing shows News Breakfast and ABC News at Noon are broadcast live on the ABC News channel at the same time as on ABC TV in AEST/AEDT time zones; viewers in the AWST and ACST time zones can choose to watch these programs either live (on the ABC News channel) or on delay in their local time (on ABC TV). In addition, The Business is shown in an earlier timeslot than currently scheduled on ABC TV.
Capital Hill
On 30 September 2010, the ABC announced the first new programme to be shown on the channel titled Capital Hill. The political programme, originally hosted by Chris Uhlmann airs Fridays at 5:30 pm AEST/AEDT and takes a look at the week's political events and news, as well as feature interviews with the key players of politics. It is now broadcast every weekday at 1:00 pm AEST/AEDT and is hosted by Greg Jennett (Monday-Thursday) and Matthew Doran (Friday).
World news
Overnight, the ABC News channel uses "satellite" programming, mainly from BBC World News which mostly uses the main BBC News bulletins, as well as Deutsche Welle news and current affairs bulletins and sometimes using shows such as Impact with Yalda Hakim, Outside Source with Ros Atkins and Global with Matthew Amroliwala. The BBC World News broadcasts come live into the ABC News channel before being broadcast around Australia. About two Al Jazeera English Newshours are also broadcast. However, since 2018, the overnight programming has slowly refocused on rebroadcasts of the channel's daytime live shows like The Drum and The World (on weekdays), and ABC's own live news updates have increasingly carried.Шаблон:Citation needed

Criticism
Along with other rolling news channels, the ABC News channel has been criticised for launching into rolling news coverage for "breaking news" where little new information supports such coverage, and just repeating limited information and footage about an event.[20] Conversely, the ABC News channel has also been criticised for not turning to rolling coverage.[21][22]
ABC News online
The ABC News channel can be streamed online at the ABC's website and on YouTube.[23] However, the YouTube stream is made available internationally except for the stream in iView where it is only available in Australia only,[24] and unlike other programming on iView, it is not currently offered as unmetered content by any internet service providers. The ABC News channel stream is available in medium and high bandwidth varieties on the iView site.
