The ABC Weekly was essentially a radio magazine published by the ABC to promote its local radio programs. When ABC television started transmission, the magazine began to incorporate the schedules of the television service - it also included the schedules of the local Sydney commercial television stations.

The issue of The ABC Weekly, November 4 to November 11 1956, featured the new ABC television service, and in particular the programs of ABN2.

The magazine cover included a drawing of the ABC TV logo, shown on the face of a television receiver:

Several feature articles appeared in the magazine, the first "A Landmark in Australian History" by the ABC Chairman, Sir Richard Boyer.

The Editor-in-Chief of the ABC News Service, W S Hamilton wrote "The A.B.C. News - In Vision". This included a mention that the ABC Rural Department would be providing regular weather reports featuring Mr A. Rainbird, meteorologist of the Weather Bureau.
