The ABC will launch Australia's first free-to-air, 24hour television news channel in 2010
The station will run on the ABC's High Definition channel, operating out of a state-of-the-art studio in the foyer of its Ultimo headquarters in Sydney.
The new channel will broadcast a mix of specially produced content alongside existing news and current affairs programmes. It will draw on the resources of the ABC's many regional and international bureaus to provide live continuous coverage of breaking stories from Australia and around the world.
The ABC will also take advantage of its multi-platform capabilities to keep audiences up to date in different formats and across an array of devices. It will not require any more funding from the Federal Government to begin broadcasting.
