Fly TV was an ABC Television channel available to viewers of digital terrestrial television in Australia. On November 1, 2001 a half-day Fly TV launched nationally, with ABC's children-orientated ABC Kids Channel airing during Fly TV's downtime. The ABC launched the channel without additional funding, hoping that its success would prompt an additional government grant.

Availability

Fly TV was available from 6:00pm to 6:00am on both digital terrestrial television and subscription services: Austar and Optus Television. However, it could not gain carriage on Foxtel.

The channel broadcasted a 6 hour block from 6:00pm to 12:00am, which was repeated again from 12:00am to 6:00am.

Broken Studio

Fly TV died on June 30 2003, along with the ABC Kids Channel, in the first of a series of cuts to save around AU$25 million a year for the ABC. cite web

The sluggish uptake of digital television in Australia (which, as of 2007 remains far below projected penetration) made justifying a digital-only channel with a low viewership against the cost of keeping the channel on air difficult.
