Talk:ABC HD (Australian TV channel)

Issues with the info box of this article in 2008
In the Infobox, I can't seem to get the Availability subheaders to appear — there needs to be both "Terrestrial" and "Cable", but Cable won't appear. Whophd (talk) 00:34, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Propose splitting content into ABC (Australian TV network)
I propose that information about the December 2016 revival of ABC HD is split into the existing ABC (Australian TV network) page. Per WP:BROADCAST, it is up to the editors' judgement or a community consensus whether "sister" radio and TV stations under the same branding should be merged to single articles. While the original incarnation of ABC HD as a distinct service with 'breakaway' programming may be considered notable, its current form (as a full time simulcast of an existing television service) is, in my mind, not notable on its own.

 * From 2002 to 2008 it was also a simulcast channel: Did the "sister" channel have its own page then?  (checks)  Okay so it did right at the end, notwithstanding Wikipedia's smaller size then.  But it did look like the unique branding, rather than the unique content itself, was the catalyst to creating this page.  But I don't really mind what the editors decide;  it does seem like the MPEG-4 simulcasts (2016+ era) will never have breakaway programming, even if they are legally permitted to do so.  What would we do with this page if we take the currently relevant information out of it?  All that's left is some historical footnotes. Whophd (talk) 14:38, 13 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Hi and . Do you mean a "merge to" that section, or splitting the content into different bits in this article and that section? I'm a bit confused. I am currently trying to sort out some naming and linking issues with several ABC-related articles, and incorrect wikilinks to the page previously named ABC (Australian TV network), which I have renamed ABC (Australian TV channel), as per its content compared with ABC Television. The ABC HD thing confuses me, because as far as I can see, it is not a separate "station", although the channels have moved, and it depends whether one has an old or newer TV set which channel you watch to see the same content/station.
 * I don't have a strong opinion on a merge or split, but I think that if there is a merge, it should be to ABC Television (which I am considering renaming to "ABC Television (Australian TV network)" to more clearly distinguish the two), because that is the article covering all channels/stations. Either way, shouldn't the first sentence be past tense? I found a few articles which could be used (if not already) to explain the changes,, and , all now saved to the Wayback Machine, if anyone wants to use them.

 * "Splitting"? Don't you mean "merging"? — Ð W -🇺🇦(T·C) 19:17, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
