Overview of the events of 2016 in Australian television
The ABC's coverage of Sydney New Year's Eve is widely panned for the third consecutive year, with criticism of lame skits and pre-recorded performances.
Seven Network's breakfast show Sunrise gets a new on-air presentation and studio set, replacing the unchanged package which has been introduced in January 2010.
Samantha Armytage is dumped from hosting a UNHCR event in Sydney, following an awkward skit on Sunrise a day earlier involving UNHCR spokesperson Kristin Davis.
Foxtel launches legal action to block access to four torrent websites, it accuses of illegally distributing its programs, under recently introduced legislation which can force Australian ISPs to block website access with a Federal Court order.
The Seven and Nine Networks reach a settlement in the Federal Court over a copyright claim on Nine's program The Hot Plate. The settlement sees Nine agree not to produce any further seasons of the program, and to never rebroadcast or distribute the first season.
Former Network Ten sports reporter Mel McLaughlin makes her debut appearance on Seven News Sydney. As a result, Jim Wilson moves to the Friday & Saturday role on the bulletin.
