ABC TV and Screen West to develop WA initiative

ABC TV and Screen West will develop a series of factual programs celebrating WA.    

The announcement:

ABC TV and ScreenWest announce a new $1.6million initiative aimed at developing original ideas for a series of factual programs, to be produced out of Western Australia, and to air on ABC1 and ABC2 in prime-time.

Jennifer Collins, ABC TV Head of Factual said, “We are looking forward to commissioning a number of short series from the West. Up to 16 half hours in total, they’ll be stories that celebrate the unique WA environment – whether set in the desert, beach, bush or in a mine. We’re looking for larger than life characters – most importantly, we’re looking for series that resonate with family audiences. “
