Stateline is a brand used by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation for some local news stories. [1] [2] It was previously a television current affairs program. 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 program premiered on 16 February 1996 at 6 pm. [3] It moved to 7:30 pm in February 2001, which resulted in The 7.30 Report being removed from Fridays. [4] [5]
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. [6] The change saw 7.30 extended to five nights a week, although Friday editions were to be presented locally and focus on state affairs. [6] The Friday state-based editions of 7.30 were eventually axed in December 2014. [7]
It was broadcast on ABC1 on Fridays at 7:30 pm (in place of The 7.30 Report), with eight separate state and territory specific editions.[ citation needed] It was also broadcast on the new digital channel ABC2 after its launch in March 2005. [8]
With the launch of ABC News 24 in 2010, each local version of Stateline was also broadcast nationally on the channel over the weekend.[ citation needed]
