ABC Television, the television network of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, broadcasts two children's television channels as of 2021[update],[1] with ABC Kids and ABC Family being the two most watched children's networks in the country.
On 7 March 2005, ABC2 launched allowing for ABC Kids' programming to be broadcast for 13 hours a day across ABC1 and ABC2.
To prepare for the launch of ABC3, the brand was completely removed and all children's programming coexisted with the rest of ABC1 and ABC2.
[citation needed] On 4 December 2009, the children's programming block on ABC2 was rebranded "ABC For Kids on 2" with new identities, schedule and watermark.
[4] This consolidation created a daily 13-hour block from 6am to 7pm of pre-school programming on ABC2.
