Landline will screen its 30th Anniversary Special this Sunday afternoon on ABC.
The rural based program first aired in March 1991.
In ABC’s own words:
The multi-award winning show typically features stories, ranging across agri-politics and economics , business and product innovation, animal and crop science, regional infrastructure, climate and weather trends, regional and rural services, music and lifestyle.
As much as anything Landline’s enduring popularity is based on its ability to explain and contextualise the issues affecting Australians living and working in the bush to those living in our big cities.
The series is presented by Pip Courtney.
12:30pm on Sunday on ABC.

It’s not the 30th anniversary. Before that the program was called Countrywide.
Countrywide definitely the predecessor, but you can see even ABC refers to 30 years of Landline.
Landline, and ABC Rural, have a pretty fierce and loyal audience. The program has both nurtured and encouraged many people, both on and off camera. Deb Knight is a just one of their alum.
