ABD is the call sign of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's television station in Darwin, Northern Territory.[2] The station was the first to go to air in Darwin, on 13 August 1971.[2] Its studios are located in the inner city of Darwin, with (the now defunct) analogue transmitter owned by the Nine Network on Blake Street in The Gardens and digital transmitter on Deloraine Road. The station is received throughout the territory through a number of relay transmitters, as well as by satellite on the Viewer Access Satellite Television (formerly Optus Aurora) platform.
