ABC replaces its separate news and current affairs programs with ABC National, a one-hour program combining both news and current affairs analysis.

Then, after midnight, HSV7 presents its first News Overnight, comprising news programs sourced via satellite from the American NBC and CNN networks as well as replays of local news and current affairs programming.
