ABC3 Australia www.abc.net.au/abc3 TARGET AUDIENCE: Kids

up to 15. ABC3 airs daily from 6 a.m. to

9 p.m. REACH:

98% of Australian homes.

RANKING: ABC3

is the clear market leader in its target demographic. Along with ABC4Kids, they reach over 60% of the 0-15 audience. SENIOR COMMISSIONING, ACQUISITION AND/OR PRODUCTION EXECUTIVES

Barbara Uecker, Head, Programming & Acquisitions, ABC Children’s Television ([email protected]) Chris Rose, Commissioning Editor, Animation, ABC Children’s Television Simon Hopkinson, Commissioning Editor, Live Action, ABC Children’s Television ON THE RECORD: Barbara Uecker, Head, Programming & Acquisitions ACQUIRED/ORIGINAL RATIO: 65%

acquired, 35% commissioned or produced in-house.

SCHEDULING: “ABC3

offers the school-age audience a broad range of genres. The morning starts with Studio 3, a popular hosted block consisting mainly of animation; the later morning features news and current affairs, documentaries and factual entertainment. The afternoon has a focus on comedy, wildlife and animation for the younger end of the audience. The early evening features drama, reality and action adventure, and the schedule closes with programs for the upper end of the channel’s audience. The schedule is 50% Australian.” RECENT ACQUISITIONS: Officially Amazing

from Zodiak, Camp Lakebottom from 9 Story, Grojband

from FremantleMedia Kids & Family. July ABC3 launched the third series of our successful drama Dance Academy, a new series of the science game show Steam Punks! and the comedy Splatalot.” RECENT ORIGINALS: “In

CO-PRODUCTION STRATEGY: “Most

of our animated commissions involve co-production partners, and broadcasters from Canada, Asia and Europe, whereas our drama commissions often involve international co-financing partners such as ZDF, ZDF Enterprises, CBBC and major international distributors.” WISH LIST: “Currently

we are particularly looking for shows that will appeal to the upper end of the target audience—10+. This audience responds well to dramas, such as Dance Academy, animation such as the Total Drama series and Star Wars: The Clone Wars and shows like Deadly 60 and Horrible Histories. And, of course, comedy is always high on our shopping list.” Top 50 Kids Channels 2013

NON-LINEAR RIGHTS: “Online

rights are becoming increasingly important. Strong growth in viewing on tablets and other mobile devices is apparent throughout our audience.”

“As a public broadcaster, ABC Children’s TV seeks to make our programming available without charge to our audience on the screen of their choice, including delivery by apps to mobile devices and offering a comprehensive online service with games and interactive content. We see increasing competition on digital channels in Australia and growing use of social media and gaming.” TRENDS:

LICENSE FEES: “ABC’s

license fees for acquired content have remained stable for the past five years. However, we see budgets increasing for production of live-action shows of all types, particularly drama.” “Our drama and animation commissions are always financed in partnership with an international distributor. The Australian Children’s TV Foundation (ACTF) distributes a growing catalogue of our commissioned shows, while ABC Commercial distributes most of our internally produced content as well as investing in the distribution rights to a range of commissioned content.”

Producers and distributors can submit their projects by visiting www.abc.net.au/tv/independent/childrens_proposal.htm or by emailing: [email protected] PITCH ROUTE:

Kidscreen, MIPTV, MIPCOM, Asian Animation Summit, “and other international markets from time to time.” MARKET CIRCUIT:
