SCRIPTED TV | UNSCRIPTED TV | KIDS
ABC Commercial is a respected independent distributor working alongside the nation’s public broadcaster. We represent content from some the country’s most exciting and internationally recognised producers.
With a current catalogue boasting over 3,000 hours of premium content (both ABC-originating and independent), content is licensed to clients that include BBC, Sky UK, ITV, France Television, PBS, CBC, CBS, Acorn TV, Netflix, Hulu and many more.
ABC Commercial are currently seeking distribution rights for Scripted TV, Unscripted TV and Kids TV. Series are preferred to feature or standalone programs. ABC are interested to discuss productions from early development stage; however, a commissioning broadcaster needs to be secured by the producer prior to ABC’s acquisition of distribution rights.
