ABC boss David Anderson to restructure organisation, shift to BBC model | zoesam93
ABC managing director David Anderson is planning to overhaul the way programs are commissioned in a review that could result in the most significant change to the public broadcaster’s structure since 2017.
Such a move will likely result in regional and local radio teams moving to the news and investigations unit, while a separate division will remain for commissioning programs from other genres, such as comedy and children’s content. This structure is similar to one the BBC implemented in 2020, which is led by a chief content officer and has director positions for various genres and was described as “radical”. The ABC declined to comment.
. The change was part of a refresh of the five-year plan, which intends to introduce more rigor around efforts to engage younger audiences. Sources said this restructure was being considered in light of that shift.
The national broadcaster received an $83.7 million increase in operational funding and a $32 million boost for international services as part of the federal government’s budget announcement. The government is also moving from a three-year to a five-year funding model.
