Stateline (TV program)
Stateline was a television current affairs program produced by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. It provided analysis of state and municipal politics as well as insight into state and regional issues in a current affairs journalistic style. The program was known for its interviews with politicians, and for its coverage of important regional issues.
The ABC announced in December 2010 that the state-based current affairs program Stateline would be folded into a new 7.30 brand from March 2011. The change saw 7.30 extended to five nights a week, although Friday editions continue to be presented locally and focus on state affairs.
Format
It was broadcast on ABC1 on Fridays at 7:30 pm, with eight separate state and territory specific editions. With the launch of ABC News 24, each local version of Stateline was also broadcast nationally on the channel over the weekend.State/Territory | Presenter |
