Utilising it’s back catalogue as well as delivering a bunch of new and second-run content continues to show the ABC has the potential to keep pretty much everyone happy over summer. From the full series of Upper Middle Bogan, It’s a Date, Laid, A Moody Christmas & The Moodys on iview through to new content like Schoolies: You Only Live Once, Outback Choir and Wild Kitchen there is lots – LOTS for people enjoy where there isn’t much else on TV (if you’re not a sport fan). From the press release:
@ABCtv – It’s All Good for Summer
The ABC is really going down market for summer. I couldn’t bear to watch these “bogan” offerings the first or second time around. I can’t believe we are getting them again! Haven’t we had the Moody Christmas every Christmas since……? Why can’t they repeat things like “Healing” from last Sunday which it seems everyone missed (perhaps marketing wasn’t good enough). Or repeat Kitchen Cabinet?
Hi Joyce – Upper Middle Bogan and It’s a Date are both great successes for the ABC, as has been the Moodys. Yes the latter has been repeated though to great success. You’ll also note that those repeats are only available on ABC iview (as is Healing and Kitchen Cabinet and other great content. Still, that’s the benefit of the ABC – it caters to such a wide range of tastes. Far wider that the commercial free-to-air networks.
