A sentence such as watch the ABC Women’s Work series every Sunday on Weekend Breakfast can probably lose the acronym. The streaming video service is ABC iview, not iView. Be mindful of over-branding. The main television channel is ABC TV, not ABC1. Some sub-brands take a capital on their modifier: triple j Unearthed. Never lower case: Double J. The national youth music service has no capitals unless starting a sentence: I grew up listening to triple j. Regional and local stations take title case: ABC Radio Great Southern, ABC Radio Brisbane. If crediting, use don’t forget the definite article: Joe Bloggs told the ABC’s AM program, not ABC’s AM program. For these words, neither form is incorrect (though an historic can come across as a slight affectation).
Generally in English, a is used before consonant sounds and an is used before vowel sounds: a ham, an olive, a eulogy. Some words begin with the eighth letter but have an unstressed initial syllable, which in connected speech often means speakers freely shift between the two articles: an historic, a historic, etc. Note the lower case for these imageboards.
For broader editorial concerns, please refer to the editorial policies site. This database is also publicly available. The ABC maintains a database to assist content makers in the pronunciation of proper names and place names. Unless there are compelling reasons not to, we use the first listed variant in the Macquarie for spelling variants. For spelling or pronunciation queries, consult an Australian English reference work. Accordingly, much of its guidance is geared towards the preparation and editing of digital news for platform-specific guidance, such as television supers, consult the intranet or your program team. This guide is intended for anyone who writes or edits ABC content.
