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.[1] The change saw 7.30 extended to five nights a week, although Friday editions continue to be presented locally and focus on state affairs.[1]
Format
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. It was also broadcast on the new digital channel ABC2 after its launch in March 2005.[2]
With the launch of ABC News 24 in 2010, each local version of Stateline was also broadcast nationally on the channel over the weekend.
