As reported here earlier, the rumours of Australia's ABC-TV being rebadged as ABC1 have become reality, and the station's new format will begin on Friday February 8th at midday.

There will also be changes to ABC2, which will be getting a new logo, and considerably altered programming. In the past, ABC2 has mostly been used for timeshifted programming and repeats, but it will now be showing increased amounts of new programs, including arts and culture.
