Inside Business, the ABC’s Sunday morning business program, will finish up in December after 12 years.
Program host Alan Kohler will continue his successful association with the ABC through his nightly market reports on the 7pm ABC News, but has decided he won’t be continuing the business program in 2014.
“It’s been tremendously rewarding presenting Inside Business for the past 12 years, working with some wonderful people at the ABC and interviewing Australia’s CEOs, some of them many times. But it’s time now to reduce my workload so I’m afraid it must end, although I’m keen to continue working with ABC,” said Mr Kohler.
The last broadcast of Inside Business will go to air on Sunday, December 1. The program is also broadcast on ABC News 24, Australia Network and on ABC NewsRadio.
ABC News Head of Current Affairs Bruce Belsham says the ABC remains committed to strong business coverage across radio, television, online and mobile platforms.
“We will continue to work with Alan on a range of business content,” said Mr Belsham. “ Through our wide range of in depth business reporting across all platforms and through programs like The Business and Business Today, we will continue to serve ABC audiences well with business news and analysis, and we will continue to explore new ways of delivering on this commitment.”
In 2014, the ABC’s weekly Sunday morning sports discussion program Offsiders, will go to air straight after Insiders at 10am.
