7.30 is an Australian nightly television current affairs program which broadcasts on ABC TV and ABC News at 7:30 p.m. on Monday to Thursday nights. The program is the flagship for the network and is currently hosted by Sarah Ferguson.
History
The program first aired on 7 March 2011, replacing both The 7.30 Report and Stateline. It was originally hosted by Leigh Sales and Chris Uhlmann.
In 2012, Uhlmann was appointed as 7.30 political editor, therefore stepping down as host. Uhlmann remained as political editor until 2013 when he announced that he would be working on a documentary about the Rudd and Gillard governments for the ABC. Sabra Lane replaced him as political editor, until she left to host the ABC morning radio current affairs program, AM.
In 2015, Jo Puccini was appointed the Executive Producer.
In December 2016, the ABC announced that Andrew Probyn would replace Sabra Lane as political editor. In August 2017, Probyn moved to a new role as the ABC's political editor replacing Chris Uhlmann who left the broadcaster for the Nine Network.
In February 2018, Laura Tingle was appointed as political editor replacing Probyn.
In 2014, Sarah Ferguson hosted the show whilst Leigh Sales was on maternity leave. She received critical acclaim for her hard-hitting interview style from many Australian media outlets. Laura Tingle, Michael Rowland, Virginia Trioli, Ellen Fanning and David Speers are fill-in presenters.
In 2018 Justin Stevens was appointed the Executive Producer.
In February 2022, Sales announced that she would be stepping down as host after almost 12 years in the role. She would finish at the program in June, after the federal election and will stay with the ABC. Current executive producer Justin Stevens will also be leaving the role imminently to become the head of the ABC's news, analysis and investigations division.
In April 2022, the ABC announced Sarah Ferguson would return from her role as special correspondent in Washington to succeed Sales as the host of 7.30 from July 2022.
Joel Tozer was announced as the new Executive Producer of the program in June of 2022, taking over from Justin Stevens who was becoming the network's Director of News.
