In preparation for a major expansion of ABC TV’s services for children, the Executive Head of Children’s Content, Tim Brooke-Hunt, today announced the appointment of new staff and the introduction of a new organisational structure for ABC TV’s Children’s Department.
“The ABC is entering a most exciting period in its long history of broadcasting to Australian kids. In a few months we will launch ABC3, a channel dedicated to school-aged children, whilst expanding our offering to pre-schoolers with ABC For Kids on 2, enhancing our on-line services and maintaining our current programming on ABC1. In order to enable us to achieve these aims, I am delighted to announce the appointment of a highly-qualified group of executives to enable us to realise this goal.”
