ABV-2
(ABC Melbourne)
ABV-2 was a regional variant of the
national public service channel ABC. The 'V' in the station code
stands for Victoria. The suffix '2' denoted their channel position on
the dial, not that they were the second ABC channel. There were also
other variants of ABC in other states.
