They probably should have dropped 7.30 from the title and just gone with Report or The Report.
Just like The 7pm Project became The Project.

Hopefully 2025 brings some newness. I find the whole program very stale at the moment.
Will be interesting to see which side Sarah takes going into an election or if she will be impartial. Would be great to see this program go back to its roots, and what the ABC is meant to be. I don’t find Sarah to be impartial at all and I think she is getting worse.
I agree - they should bring back a proper intro:
And maybe some sort of weekly panel like they had on Lateline for the final 10-15 minutes on a Thursday.

ABC has already revived the “Stateline” branding as a supplementary feature within the 7 PM state bulletins, focusing on major investigative reports.
The 7.30 State editions essentially reused the old Stateline format, rebranded under the more successful Monday-Thursday “7.30” title. This move seemingly aimed to create the false impression that 7.30 aired continuously from Monday to Friday.

Returning
As per the norm on returning, Laura Tingle will be presenting the next two weeks from Canberra.
Fergo likely won’t return until the 28th going off prior years.
Would have been the ideal year for a refresh and new set, big news stories this year, out with the old and in with the new should have extended to this program also.
