ABC NEWS Channel and ABC Entertains move to High Definition
19 May 2025 The ABC will soon start broadcasting the ABC NEWS Channel and ABC Entertains in High Definition (HD), providing a better viewing experience for audiences. From 11 June these channels will no longer be available in Standard Definition. The ABC will continue to broadcast the main ABC TV channel in both SD and HD. The ABC Kids/Family channel will also remain on SD. All TVs sold since 2014, and many sold since 2008, should be HD (MPEG-4) compatible and set up to receive the full range of HD programming and TV multi-channels that are available in your area. If your TV can tune to all the local free-to-air services available in your region then it supports HD. For TVs made prior to 2008, viewing the ABC NEWS Channel and ABC Entertains in HD will require an upgrade. The most cost-effective way is to install a digital set top box, which can be obtained from most electronics stores, is easy to install and doesn't take up much space. For TVs that support HD, the changes should automatically appear in the channel list. If not, then the first thing to do is to retune your TV. Most TVs have an option to automatically retune channels within the TV menu. In many cases, the channel changes will appear after completing this process. If you are unsure how to retune channels you should refer to your TV manual or contact the manufacturer. General retuning instructions, not related to any specific set, model or brand, can be found in ABC Help Centre. Additionally, you can stream ABC services through the ABC iview app or over the internet at What are the channel changes? ABC is upgrading its broadcast technology. These changes involve updating two channels: 23 ABC Entertains will be converted to HD (in MPEG-4) 23 ABC Entertains will be converted to HD (in MPEG-4) 24 ABC NEWS Channel will be converted to HD (in MPEG-4) Why are these channels being moved to HD? The ABC is moving these channels to HD to improve the video quality of our services for audiences. Since 2014 all TVs sold in Australia have been HD compatible. When will the changes be rolled out in my area?
