It focuses on the years of the Australian Broadcasting Commission: from its establishment as a radio broadcaster in 1932, to the launch of television in 1956, before its transformation into the Australian Broadcasting Corporation in 1983. Covering a rich array of programming genres, from education to rural, current affairs to drama, and music to sport, the essays collected here range across Indigenous Australians, young people, migrants and ABC Friends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-block-key=\"370t8\"\u003eIncluding insightful reflections from well-known broadcasters, \u003ci\u003eOur ABC\u003c\/i\u003e will inform, enlighten and surprise – just as ABC programs have for nearly a century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"xl:grid-in-[images]\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prose\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rich-text\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-block-key=\"nntv7\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-block-key=\"nntv7\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublisher: Monash University Publishing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormat: \u003cspan\u003ePaperback\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePages: 336\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions: \u003cspan\u003e216x135mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublication date: \u003cspan\u003e1 November 2026\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eISBN: 9781923451193\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Monash University Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67922997706854,"sku":null,"price":37.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0639\/5704\/1254\/files\/9781923451193.width-320_a27dc15f-c7bb-4883-a7b6-74e5fedd0ff4.jpg?v=1793844867","url":"https:\/\/shop.naa.gov.au\/products\/our-abc","provider":"National Archives Store ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
