ABC Television in Western Australia comprises national and local programming on the ABC television network in the Australian state of Western Australia, on a number of channels under the ABC call sign. There is some local programming from the Perth studio.

ABW was the historic name of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's television station in Perth, with the "W" standing for the name of the state.

History

The station began broadcasting on 7 May 1960 from studios on Adelaide Terrace in downtown Perth and its transmitter at Bickley. The station was relayed throughout the state by a number of transmitters, and in the 2000s on the Optus Aurora free-to-view satellite television platform, replaced by Viewer Access Satellite Television (VAST) in 2010.Шаблон:Citation needed

ABW commenced digital television transmission in January 2001, broadcasting on VHF Channel 12 while maintaining analogue television transmission on VHF Channel 2.Шаблон:Citation needed

In 2005 the station moved to a new digital broadcast centre in East Perth.Шаблон:Citation needed

In February 2013 ABC Perth was the first TV station in Western Australia to start producing a national news bulletin at 5.30pm. Шаблон:Citation needed

The analogue signal for ABW was shut off on 16 April 2013.[1]

The Western Australian edition of 7.30 was presented by Andrew O'Connor each Friday night but was cancelled in 2014 to broadcast a national edition only, in a round of severe cuts to the ABC.[2]

The channel used to carry live coverage of West Australian Football League matches every Saturday afternoon throughout the season until 2014.

ABC News Western Australia is presented by Pamela Medlen Monday-Thursday, Charlotte Hamlyn Friday-Sunday, and Tyne Logan for weather on weeknights. Tom Wildie presents local sport bulletins on weekends. The weeknight bulletins also incorporates a national finance segment presented by Alan Kohler in Melbourne.

Due to different time zones in Australia, the 5:30 news bulletin goes live to air on the east coast at 5.30pm and a separate local edition is produced for the west coast. Perth also receives a local version of ABC News at Noon produced from the ABC's Sydney studios, which is also simulcast live nationally on the ABC News channel.Шаблон:Citation needed
