History
[edit | edit source]One Plus One premiered in 2010 with the launch of the ABC's 24-hour news channel. The original program was hosted by Jane Hutcheon, and featured ten-minute interviews with guests, with one of the interviews conducted by Hutcheon and the other two conducted by other ABC journalists.[citation needed]
In 2012 the format changed, with the interviews extended to 28 minutes long and all conducted by Hutcheon. This format continued until 2019.[1]
In 2020, the program was moved to the prime time slot of 9.30pm on Thursdays on the primary ABC TV channel with a half-hour runtime. The new format brought in a rotation of presenters, with prominent Australians in the hosting chair for a series of episodes based around a theme. In 2020 journalist Barrie Cassidy explored the idea of leadership,[2][3] Paralympian Kurt Fearnley spoke to people about excellence,[4] and Stan Grant did a series of interviews about identity.[5][6]
In 2021, the program moved to the primetime slot of 8pm Monday nights, with drag queen and television personality Courtney Act as host.[7] Act's program was nominated for an AACTA Award that year.[8]
In 2022 former Australian of the Year Rosie Batty was added to roster of hosts on the show.[9]
