Insiders is the only ABC current affairs show to grow its broadcast audience since 2019, lifting its TV numbers by 4% while Q+A dropped by 36% and Four Corners by 19%, as audiences abandoned traditional broadcast television.
The show, now in its 21st year, has bucked the trend which has seen Australian Story fall by 16% between 2019 and 2022; Foreign Correspondent by 22% and 7.30 by 4%, according to an internal presentation for executives seen by Guardian Australia.
