As you are aware, the ABC has decided to close its digital television services, Fly TV and ABC Kids. This difficult decision has been made as a result of the inability of the ABC to secure funds for these services in this year�s Federal budget. The last day of transmission will be 30 June. Given the lack of incentives for the public to take up digital television, the ABC initially considered that a dedicated children�s and youth television service could attract funding support from the Government. Unfortunately this has not been the case since the inception of these services. On behalf of the ABC, please accept my apologies for any inconvenience caused as a result of this decision. Kind Regards, Matthew Galvin ABC Audience and Consumer Affairs.   (1)
