Revive Countdown with 100% Australian Independent Music!

The issue

ABC's charter requires the broadcast of programs that contribute to a sense of national identity and reflect the cultural diversity of the Australian community.

Classic ABC TV show 'Countdown' influenced generations of Australian children with mainstream commercial pop from the major labels, predominantly US and UK.

We invite ABC to revive 'Countdown' as a one-hour show every weekday at 5pm with 100% Australian independent music performed live in the studio.
