ABC LAUNCHES CHINESE COLLECTION IN CELEBRATION OF LUNAR NEW YEAR!
To celebrate Lunar New Year, ABC iview is providing a range of popular ABC programs with subtitles for Chinese audience members. This is part of ABC’s ongoing initiative to expand our content to be relevant to all Australians.
Last year, ABC iview provided preschool programs in Mandarin on ABC KIDS iview and these accumulated over 8.5 million plays. From Friday 16 February, ABC iview will expand the offering to include Chinese subtitles across much loved ABC series including:
- Back Roads: The Complete Series 1 – 3;
- Australian Story (select episodes);
- Four Corners (select episodes);
- Catalyst (select episodes);
- You Can’t Ask That: The Complete Series 1 – 2.
Rebecca Heap, ABC Head of Programming and Digital said: “As the national broadcaster, the ABC is committed to serving all Australians. We appreciate how culturally and linguistically diverse Australia is with more than one-fifth of Australians speaking a language other than English at home. Our preschool Mandarin programs have been a big hit on ABC KIDS iview amongst both Mandarin speaking households and English-speaking households keen to broaden their language awareness. We are excited to be able to extend our offering with our selection of subtitled ABC programs to now cater for all age groups.”
