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 6Template:Nbsppm.[1] It moved to 7:30Template:Nbsppm in February 2001, which resulted in The 7.30 Report being removed from Fridays.[2][3]
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.[4] The change saw 7.30 extended to five nights a week, although Friday editions were to be presented locally and focus on state affairs.[4] The Friday state-based editions of 7.30 were eventually axed in December 2014.[5]
