| 6 | ABC Me (formerly [=ABC3=]) is a digital channel, and the only free-to-air channel in Australia aimed mostly at children (specifically primary and upwards). Perhaps unsurprisingly, more Australian kids watch ABC Me than any other channel. |
| 7 | |
| 8 | Me has a quota of 50% Australian content. Since Australian television is not a thriving industry, the channel tends to air Aussie oldies like ''Series/RoundTheTwist'', ''Series/OceanGirl'' and ''Series/ShipToShore'', but there's also been very successful new local programming. ''Series/DanceAcademy'', produced specially for the channel, was the most popular drama series to hit its airwaves since its launch.[[note]]The drama attracted up to 1 million viewers a week at the height of its popularity (and in Australia, that's huge).[[/note]] Other particularly popular shows include ''Series/PrankPatrol'' and ''Series/NowhereBoys''. The channel has a tendency to create a lot of educational game show and/or audience participation-type programs. The non-Australian 50% are mostly Canadian or British series, but there are also a lot of shows from the US ([[WesternAnimation/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes often]] [[ComicBook/BlackPanther featuring]] [[Creator/MarvelComics Marvel's]] [[WesternAnimation/IronManArmoredAdventures popular]] [[WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan heroes]]) and miscellaneous content from all over the world. It is prepared to air dark and violent {{anime}} like ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'', along with the more lighthearted fare such as ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub''. |

| 11 | ABC Me is an initiative of Australia's state-funded broadcaster, [[Creator/AustralianBroadcastingCorporation the ABC]]. It launched on 4 December 2009 at 6pm. It also has the unusual distinction (for a TV channel) of being launched by the Prime Minister of the day, Kevin Rudd. In September 2016, it changed its name from [=ABC3=] to ABC Me. |
