Anzac Day 2021 on the ABC

There will also be coverage of Light up the Dawn when Australians will mark a minute’s silence wherever they are – from their driveways, balconies, front gates or farm gates.

The Director of ABC Regional & Local, Judith Whelan said Anzac Day still carried deep meaning for Australians. “This was evident in last year’s coverage when Australians from every part of the country stood at their gates at dawn to remember those who have served.”

“Anzac Day continues to be one of the largest and most important events the ABC covers. This year we will have ABC crews in all our major cities and in towns, covering local commemorations and connecting them with all Australians across all our platforms.”

The ABC will also mark the day with special programming on ABC Television and ABC ivew that includes a Landline Anzac Day edition at 12.30pm; Air Force 100 – a commemoration of 100 years of the Royal Australian Air Force at 4.00pm; The Art of Remembrance which looks at Australia’s involvement in conflict through the lens of visual art at 6.00pm; and a special collection of news features and documentaries on ABC iview in Anzac Day: Australia Remembers .

Just reading back a bit says The Durrels is on ABC, thought that was on 7Two or 7 since when has the ABC had it ?

Seven showed it when it was new - initially on the main channel then 7Two. ABC has started from Season 1 - with very low ratings.

Don’t you read these threads? It was discussed weeks ago. Seven have shown all seasons. ABC picked up the repeat rights.

Apparently not the ABC one it seems it said 90 posts unread.

Well, maybe as a TV Addict, you should.
