Genre Restrictions

I'm not sure why someone has edited the article to infer that ABC2 does not have genre restrictions because the legislation passed. It doesn't take effect until January so I don't think it should say things such as "they were not allowed to show such and such" while they still aren't.

ABC2 Infobox

"Cyberjunkie" has reverted the ABC2 infobox back to a channel's infobox. I do not understand this, as ABC TV has a network infobox, yet ABC TV is not a network, it is merely a channel. The Australian Broadcasting Corporation is the network. And ABC TV and ABC2 are just channels. Can we have one uniform infobox for both ABC TV and ABC2? - Stickeylabel 07:16, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If your definition of a network is a company that broadcasts TV, then yes, the ABC is a network. However, I think a more common usage is for a nationally distributed FTA channel, especially one with regional variation. Thus ABC TV is a network, comprised of ABC TV Victoria, ABC TV NSW, etc. The Nine Network includes Nine Sydney, Nine Melbourne, etc. When Viacom owned both CBS and UPN, no-body was calling Viacom the "network" - CBS and UPN both had that title. matturn 08:58, 1 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Programming pre-2007

What exactly did ABC2 show prior to the lifting of the genre restrictions? I'm curious myself, but this info should also be on the page. Nova Prime 04:24, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Using [1] you can see ABC2's scehdule throughout its entire life. Stickeylabel 05:15, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mainly a lot of repeats - there were genre restrictions on the channel so children's programming, repeats of news and current affairs shows, archived sport, and plenty of Stateline - not much has changed as of yet, although there are quite a few more imported shows and the amount of non-repeated content is slowly increasing. timgraham 06:05, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Degrassi is Rollercoaster

See [2]. "Degrassi Junior High" as listed in the table is no longer screening, it being replaced by "Degrassi High". When that finishes, it will be replaced by another Rollercoaster program. DJH no more holds the timeslot than the other Rollercoaster programs before it. Yet the earlier ones get called "Rollercoaster" and DJH doesn't. "Why don't you change it then?" Because someone reverted it last time I did that. Along with making the table again claim that the WNBL is netball. matturn 13:16, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ergo Proxy

A new anime series is starting July 3 replacing Cowboy Bebop [3]

Current schedule?

Okay it's the summer schedule starting Mid-February. The ABC2 schedule looks a lot better then ABC1.

Well, yeah, but this article doesn't deserve MID in the importance scale. It's almost reached B, and possibly GA, but it does need a little work. Auroranorth 11:59, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

ABC Comedy replacing ABC2.

On December 4, 2017 ABC2 will be replaced with a new channel ABC Comedy.

Will ABC Comedy have its own new page (with this page being an archive) or will this current ABC2 page be transformed into the ABC Comedy page? I noticed the ABC3 page was simply transformed into the ABC ME page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jack pipsam (talk • contribs) 08:20, 30 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't really paid attention to the change, but I'd say if it's merely a rebrand then a new page isn't warranted. On the other hand, if it's essentially an entirely new channel that just replaced the old ABC2, then maybe the article should be split. Does anyone else have any thoughts on this?
