Stateline is a brand used by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation for in-depth local and state-based news stories and interviews. Some of the stories feature on a monthly program called Stateline, which airs on the ABC News Channel and is available on ABC iview. It is hosted by James Glenday.
Stateline was previously a weekly, Friday night 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.[2] It moved to 7:30 pm in February 2001, which resulted in The 7.30 Report being removed from Fridays.[3][4]
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.[5] The change saw 7.30 extended to five nights a week, although Friday editions were to be presented locally and focus on state affairs.[5] The Friday state-based editions of 7.30 were eventually axed in December 2014.[6]
Format
[edit | edit source]It is broadcast on ABC TV, ABC News and ABC iview on Sundays during the state-based news bulletins, 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.[7]
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]
As of 2025 the Stateline brand name is in use by the ABC again.[8] Local presenters of state news bulletins anchor episodes of Stateline.
