AUSTRALIA ; CHILDREN'S TELEVISION FOUNDATION ; AUSTRALIAN BROADCASTING CORPORATION ; AUSTRALIAN BROADCASTING COMMISSION ; GYNGELL, BRUCE ; EDGAR, PATRICIA ; WINNERS (AT, 1984 -) ; ROUND THE TWIST [TV] (AT, 1988-) Summary: This is a candid memoir written by one of Australian television’s most influential policy makers and regulators. Dr Edgar reminisces about her childhood in Mildura and charts her rise in the television industry, particularly as an innovator in Australian children’s television production. She also gives a detailed account of her position as the first woman appointed to the Australian Broadcasting Control Board, and how for over ten years, she fought for more locally produced children’s television content. As a result of this, Dr Edgar helped to establish the Australian Children’s Television Foundation in the early 1980s, and has since gone on to collaborate with the BBC, Disney and Revcom in a series of co-productions. Bloodbath also takes into account the author’s struggles and triumphs in the Australian Television industry, especially with political and economic change, and the impact of the global marketplace.Notes: Includes index.

Care for kids education news : the education newsletter of the Australian Children's Television Foundation Fitzroy, Victoria: Australian Children's Television Foundation, [1997].
CorpAuthor: Australian Children's Television FoundationSource: ATPlace: Fitzroy, VictoriaPublisher: Australian Children's Television FoundationPubDate: [1997]Subject: AUSTRALIAN CHILDREN'S TELEVISION FOUNDATION ; CHILDREN, PROGRAMMES FOR. AUSTRALIA ; CHILDREN, FILMS FOR. AUSTRALIA ; EDUCATION, TV. AUSTRALIA Summary: The Australian Children’s Television Foundation (ACTF) is a non-profit organisation which formed in March 1982. When television was introduced to Australia in 1956, most of the content was imported and for many years the programs being shown in children’s viewing times were not actually designed for children.
The Children’s Television Standards introduced in 1979 was a direct outcome of community concern over television programming for children. These standards required a minimum amount of age specific, quality children’s programs on commercial television.
In 1979 Dr Patricia Edgar presented a paper in which she argued that quality programs for young people would not be made without a not-for-profit production company producing and developing programs. Not longer after, a proposal to establish the Australian Children’s Television Foundation was developed.
The ACTF have helped produce, distribute and market numerous Australian television shows and telemovies including 'Winners & More Winners' series (1985 - 1994), Round the Twist (1989-2000), Lift Off (1992-1994), Mortified! (2006-2007), Lockie Leonard (2006-2009) and Double Trouble (2007) and personal favourite 'Little Lunch' (2015-2016). As well as being responsible for many wonderful shows ACTF produced a number of different paper publications all available to view at the AFI RC including: 'Care for Kids Television News' (AFI RC hold No. 1 August 1982 – No. 133 November 2015); 'Care for Kids Education News'; Australian Children’s Television Action Committee and Australian Children’s Television Foundation Lift Off Outreach. -- AFIRCNotes: Caption title.
Care for kids education news is designed specifically for teachers in early childhood, primary and secondary settings.

Providing a systematic analysis of the creative, economic, regulatory and technological factors that shape the production of contemporary Australian children’s television for digital regimes, Creativity, Culture and Commerce charts the complex new settlements in children’s television that developed from 2001 to 2014 and describes the challenges inherent in producing culturally specific screen content for global markets. It also calls for new public debate around the provision of high-quality screen content for children, arguing that the creation of public value must sit at the centre of these discussions. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9781783204410Contents: Introduction -- Chapter 1: Understanding Children’s Television During the Digital Transition -- Chapter 2: Shaping the Foundations: Establishing an Australian Children’s Television Production Industry -- Chapter 3: A Very Special Audience: Children and Television -- Chapter 4: The National Context: Australian Broadcasters, Children’s Television and Public Value -- Chapter 5: It’s a Small World After All: The Internationalization of Australian Children’s Television -- Chapter 6: Policing the Settlement: Policy and Public Value in Children’s Television -- Chapter 7: Producing Children’s Television for Digital Regimes: Case Studies from the Production Sector -- Chapter 8: New Settlements in Children’s Television: Key Trends and Future Outlook -- References -- Index
