Canberra doesn’t count as a capital city ?

I could have sworn it was the capital of something …..

Agreed, Barrett. ABC2 is *the* only compelling reason to convert to digital TV.

The broadcast of Keating! The Musical was a great idea, and hopefully next year ABC2 will do more broadcasts of live shows like this that some of us don’t get to go out and see…

ABC2 is an excellent example for 7,9 & 10 to follow when it comes to multi-channel broadcasting.
A broad mix of repeats and new or “edgy” shows that can be given time to grow and develop an audience eg Good Game.

I can’t believe they didn’t mention Doctor Who given them strong Sunday nights. Regularly over 1 million viewers was worthy of a mention.

this just confirms that by embracing the internet and not fight against it is the way to go. by allowing people to watch shows at their own time online is important because if you miss one ep of a show and cant catch up then you’re unlikely to return to the show. commercial networks need to offer their own version of iview otherwise they will continue to lose market share.

I’d love to know where Doctor Who placed in the ABC’s top programs, do you have that information, David?
