First episode date 1994 | ||
The Times was a midweek current affairs program on the Seven Network hosted by Paul Barry. It aired from March 1994 until November 1995.
It began in March 1994 airing late night on Wednesdays, and included regular contributions from Neil Mercer, and Seven's senior Canberra reporter, Glenn Milne. The program later moved to Sunday nights where it would screen after the Sunday night movie, and then in August 1995 it moved to Tuesday nights.
Unlike most current affairs programs, The Times made heavy use of short cuts, subtitles and fast-paced music, resulting in an energetic style aimed at younger viewers.
It was axed in November 1995, but the program's staff moved on to work on the new 10.30pm news bulletin hosted by Anne Fulwood.
