The Australian Broadcasting Corporation originally began as the Australian Broadcasting Company, a national public radio service that tried to be like the [[The BBC]]. Since its inception, the ABC has always tried to bring the same service to all Australians, first on radio and later on TV. Not an easy task, considering how remote every town and city is. However, it has paid off -- it is currently the only national radio service, and was the first national TV service established in Australia.

Despite these problems, the ABC is still well-loved in Australia, and a vast amount of Australiana has come from the ABC over the years. For a list of shows that aired on the ABC, look at the list of [[Australian Television Shows]] and choose every other one. ''That'' is how influential the ABC has been.
 
Not to be confused with [[ABCAmerican Broadcasting Company|the similarly-named American TV network]]. or ''[[The ABC Murders]]''.
