ABC Queensland is a statewide television network, airing the programs of the national broadcaster, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
The main station is ABQ-2 Brisbane, with studios in the suburb of Toowong and transmitter at Mount Coot-tha. The station began broadcasting on 2 November 1959, and is transmitted throughout the state via a series of relay transmitters, and via satellite to areas that cannot receive normal terrestrial television signals.
The schedule is similar to the national schedule, with some exceptions.
The 7.00pm news bulletin is presented by Andrew Lofthouse.
