This article describes, in detail, all of the Australian television channels.
Public Broadcasters
Australia has two (and a 'half') national public broadcasters, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, the Special Broadcasting Service (better known as SBS), and the commercial (although partially government-owned) indigenous station Imparja. The Australian Broadcasting Corporation or ABC (formerly the Australian Broadcasting Commission) is Australias national non-profit public broadcaster. ...
The Special Broadcasting Service (SBS) is one of two government funded Australian public broadcasting radio and television networks, the other being the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC). ...

The ABC is also well known for broadcasting British programming, primarily from the BBC and Channel 4. The ABC or Australian Broadcasting Corporation is the national, Australia. ...
The British Broadcasting Corporation, usually known as the BBC (and also informally known as the Beeb or Auntie) is the largest broadcasting corporation in the world in terms of audience numbers, employing 26,000 staff in the United Kingdom alone and with a budget of more than GB£4 billion...
It has been suggested that Channel Four Television Corporation be merged into this article or section. ...
ABC2 On March 7, 2005, the ABC launched a second, digital-only channel named ABC2, aimed at providing 'more choice, more often'. At the start, the channel mainly provided repeats of popular ABC TV productions, such as Australian Story and repeats of Stateline, and was subjected (by law) to genre restrictions, however since the removal of these restrictions the channel's content has been broadened considerably. March 7 is the 66th day of the year in the Gregorian Calendar (67th in leap years). ...

SBS The Special Broadcasting Service was founded to cater for the roughly 1/3 of Australians that don't speak English in the home, aiming to complement the ABC. The Special Broadcasting Service (SBS) is one of two government funded Australian public broadcasting radio and television networks, the other being the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC). ...
The Australian Broadcasting Corporation or ABC (formerly the Australian Broadcasting Commission) is Australias national non-profit public broadcaster. ...
SBS has in recent years moved away from this audience, preferring instead to target a broader-based section of the Australian community. This was in part because of the emergence of pay-TV channels broadcasting entirely in ethnic minority languages, which are better placed to cater for such audiences, similar to Channel 4 in the UK.It was always difficult to cater to such a diverse audience as no one language (other than English) has a large proportion of speakers. SBS also owns a share in the World Movies Channel. It has been suggested that Channel Four Television Corporation be merged into this article or section. ...
SBS shows many non-English language films with English subtitles, and each morning shows news bulletins from around the world. It also has a lot of English-language PBS, Arte, BBC and CBC documentaries, and Comedy Central comedy. Acquired entertainment programs includes the US animated series South Park and the US version of Queer as Folk. It broadcasts the nightly World News in English, and makes other current affairs programs such as Dateline. SBS also commissions documentaries, co-produced with other broadcasters, movies and comedy programs. In the sporting field, it often screens soccer, cycling and athletics. It also screens more opera and classical music programs than the other free-to-air networks. Not to be confused with Public Broadcasting Services in Malta. ...
Arte is a Franco-German TV network, which aims to promote quality programming related to the world of arts and culture. ...
The British Broadcasting Corporation, usually known as the BBC (and also informally known as the Beeb or Auntie) is the largest broadcasting corporation in the world in terms of audience numbers, employing 26,000 staff in the United Kingdom alone and with a budget of more than GB£4 billion...

SBS is also one of the few networks who regularly shows nudity, and has been frequently ridiculed for it by sketch shows such as Fast Forward and Big Bite. In 2004 the popular satire CNNNN reported that SBS ratings were "set to soar after debut of nude soccer". Nude and naked(ness) redirect here. ...

Arabic can mean: From or related to Arabia From or related to the Arabs The Arabic language; see also Arabic grammar The Arabic alphabet, used for expressing the languages of Arabic, Persian, Malay ( Jawi), Kurdish, Panjabi, Pashto, Sindhi and Urdu, among others. ...
Imparja The "half" is Imparja. Imparja is owned by governments of various kinds, including the Commonwealth of Australia. Its main channel (known as Imparja) is a commercial station affiliated with Nine and Ten, but it also produces some of its own programs. This makes it a bit like S4C, although Imparja doesn't have S4C's strong alternative language focus. Imparja Television (callsign IMP) is a commercial television network servicing remote eastern and central Australia. ...
S4C (Sianel Pedwar Cymru, which is Welsh for Channel Four Wales) is a television channel in Wales. ...
Imparja also has a second channel which is used for community broadcasting. Many indigenous community broadcasters broadcast Imparja developed material, and content also flows back the other way.
NIRS (the peak Indigenous radio group), is lobbying the government to start a new, nationwide indigenous TV network. No major political party has championed this cause however. Imparja has stated a desire to run such a network, at least within its licence area (Source).
In 2005 the federal Department of Communications, Information Technology and the Arts (DCITA) considered funding such a station. Public submissions into this inquiry are available on its website. The Department of Communications, Information Technology and the Arts is an Australian government department. ...
After deliberation, DCITA decided not to establish such a network, but to fund additional indigenous programming for screening on Imparja's community service and community TV licencees. (Source).
Westlink Westlink is available to satellite users throughout Australia, and is rebroadcast terrestrially in Bunbury and Albany. It is a WA state government funded station primarily used for educational purposes but also for teleconferencing, training and corporate services (Source). During weekends and on Thursday nights Perth's Access 31 community channel is simulcast on Westlink (Source). Bunbury is a placename in more than one country: Bunbury, Western Australia Bunbury, Cheshire, United Kingdom Bunbury is also a family name: Enrique Bunbury is lead singer in the spanish rock band Heroes del Silencio. ...
The name Albany is an ancient and literary name for Scotland, north of the Firth of Forth (east) and Firth of Clyde (west). ...
Access 31 is a free-to-air community television station based in Perth, Australia that serves the surrounding metropolitan region and other areas of the state of Western Australia. ...
Commercial stations For the purposes of commercial television, Australia has been divided into market regions. Image File history File links Australia_television_market_regions. ...
In the 1950s, each major city or regional area - about 50 in all - was its own market region. Three licenses were granted in each of the five major capitals (the exception being Perth which did not receive its third commercial station until 1988[1]). Each smaller city or region was granted one license. The Perth skyline viewed from the Swan River This article is about the urban area of Perth, Western Australia. ...
Between 1989 and 1994,[2] regional television aggregation occurred. Regional markets were merged into one and (usually) three licenses were granted in the new aggregated area. As some markets were formed by the merger of up to six different individual markets, this meant that some stations had to merge or form partnerships in order to remain competitive. Around the same time, many remote market regions were replaced with two satellite market regions - one for Western Australia, and one for central and eastern Australia - although each of these regions was only granted two licenses. An Earth observation satellite, ERS 2 For other uses, see Satellite (disambiguation). ...
The markets that remained un-aggregated, are today known as diary markets.[3] Some of these were granted a second license, often to the same company that owned the existing license. Some existing two-license areas were also granted a third license, to a joint venture company formed as a partnership of the two existing broadcasters. A joint venture (often abbreviated JV) is an entity formed between two or more parties to undertake economic activity together. ...
Commercial networks There are three main commercial networks in Australia: In the five major capital cities, the stations use these names. They are also used in some rural and remote areas. This article is about the Australian television network. ...
The Nine Network is an Australian television network, available in major markets across Australia. ...
This article is about the Australian television network. ...
In other areas, there are stations who contain just as much network programming as these stations, but use different names. In a few areas there are less than three commercial broadcasters, and these three feeds find themselves on two stations.
Most of the commercial stations in the major capitals are owned by the same company that owns the network, and most rural and regional stations are owned by different companies. However, this rule is not absolute (as can be seen in the table below).
Regional and remote commercial networks Regional and remote on-air names include: Most stations using these names are clear extensions of the three major networks, and their on-air graphics usually make this very clear. Stations in the two channel markets generally look very much like one of the major commercial networks, with a few programs from one or two others thrown in. Golden West Network (GWN) is the Seven Network affiliate in Western Australia, servicing all areas except metropolitan Perth in competition with WIN Television WA. There are two services that GWN operates: Normal terrestrial television, and A free-to-air satellite service, broadcasting to remote areas that can’t receive television...

Nine goes so far as to produce a special Gold Coast news service, available only in the area. Similarly, Foxtel and Austar compete here, again the only such place in the country.
