The Australian Broadcasting Corporation is more commonly known by Australians as 'the ABC' or merely 'Channel 2'. It is a national government-funded broadcaster in Australia, providing television and radio broadcasts throughout most of metropolitan and regional Australia.


The ABC broadcasts a wide range of content, to match the broad multicultural social makeup of Australia. On ABC Television, this ranges from British comedy programs such as 'Smack The Pony' and 'Fawlty Towers' to children's programs such as 'Sesame Street' and its own 'Play School'.
