Encore: Has the ABC given up on young people?

The Drop

About this episode

In recent years ABC has struggled to reach younger audiences, on TV, radio and online. Lately, a few programming decisions have left many in the entertainment industry scratching their heads, wondering why the broadcaster seems so reluctant to back a new generation of talent, and what that means for the future of entertainment, news, and music.

Today on The Drop, culture reporter for The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald Meg Watson on the ABC's crisis with young people.

The Drop is a weekly show tackling the latest in the world of pop culture and entertainment. Join host Osman Faruqi and the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age's team of culture writers and critics along with interviews with musicians, actors, film makers and everyone involved in the world of culture.
