| 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 the {{Creator/Australian Broadcasting Corporation}}, the country's state-funded broadcaster. 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. On May 9, 2024, the ABC has announced that ABC Me would rebrand to ABC Entertains, moving all children's programming to the morning hours beginning on June 3rd of that same year. |
