ABC Commercial

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

ABC Commercial is the division of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation responsible for pursuing new sources of revenue for the Corporation. It is comprised of ABC Retail, ABC Consumer Publishing and Content Sales, as well as ABC Resource Hire. ABC Commercial was established in 1974, with all profits from the sale of consumer product and production services returned to the Corporation to reinvest in program-making.[1]

It now operates over 40 retail shops and 80 centres, an international delivery service on the Internet as well as developing and licensing ABC brands and programs, and providing production resource hire to the general public and industry alike. [2] The most recent shop opened in March 2008 at Rouse Hill Town Centre in Sydney's North West.

Consumer Publishing and Content Sales develops and licenses products and brands related to ABC programming selling to both the general public and wholesale TV and radio markets worldwide under a number of ABC brands and labels.[1] Resource Hire Offers a range of production services including costume hire, sound stage and studio facilities, venue hire and event staging.[3]
