ABC TV Plus

ABC TV Plus is the ABC's low-key second channel, less News Breakfast, more 'Utopia' reruns. It thrives on nostalgia: British comedies long off the air elsewhere, Australian gems like 'The Librarians', and those 90s dramas you vaguely remember. Prime-time leans into comfort viewing, a 'Midsomer Murders' block, then a classic 'The Office' episode. But it's not all old. Original productions like 'The Yearly' (a comedy review) pop up occasionally, keeping the schedule from feeling like a museum. The real draw? No flashy reality shows, no screaming commercials. It's a sanctuary for anyone tired of glossy entertainment tv Australia. The pacing is slower, the laughs quieter. Watching ABC TV Plus live online is like embracing the B-side of Australian television, unpretentious, familiar, oddly satisfying. If you want curated relaxation without the algorithm deciding for you, leave it on.
