They could consider moving Planet America to Monday 9.30 as well when it airs which will make it consistent year-round with China Tonight, India Now and Planet America.
The show will premiere on ABC Australia across Asia-Pacific region (including India) on Monday, May 30, at 11pm AEST, 90 minutes after the broadcast in the eastern states of Australia.
