It might not be available unmetered and you generally can’t watch it overseas except when there’s a national crisis, but that hasn’t stopped the online iView stream of ABC News 24 from proving pretty popular since it rolled out last year.
According to an ABC press release that just hit my inbox, since August 1 2.5 million streams of ABC News 24 have been watched. Overall, the channel has been reaching 1.5 million Australians each week (though that figure rose to 3 million last week during the Queensland floods). That’s an impressive result, especially when you consider that the ABC had to get together the resources for the service without any major budget increases.
