The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) has received Gold at the 2026 Australian Good Design Awards for its redesigned ABC iview Smart TV app, recognising the broadcaster’s commitment to improving the digital viewing experience.

The app was recognised in the Digital Design – Apps and Software category for its user-focused design, which makes it easier for audiences to discover, access and enjoy ABC content across connected televisions. The redesign places greater emphasis on accessibility, intuitive navigation and personalised content discovery, reflecting the changing ways audiences engage with public-service broadcasting.

Among the improvements are enhanced content recommendations, more prominent live television options and a streamlined viewing experience designed to help audiences find programmes more easily. The redesigned app has also delivered measurable results, including a 25% increase in children’s sub-profile usage and a sixfold increase in interaction with its live content rail.

The recognition highlights ABC’s continued investment in digital innovation as it adapts its services to meet evolving audience expectations and strengthen access to Australian news, entertainment and educational programming.
