Matter of Fact with Stan Grant is the flagship[1] TV news and current affairs show on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's News Channel, hosted by journalist Stan Grant.
It is broadcast nationally across Australia live from ABC News's headquarters in Sydney at 9pm local time from Tuesday to Thursday, with a special 'week in review' episode broadcast on Saturday evening.[2] It is also streamed live on iview, simulcast on ABC News Radio and broadcast across the Asia/Pacific region on Australia Plus.[3]
Matter of Fact premiered on 29 January 2018,[4] with a program focused on the rise of China and changes to the geopolitical balance across the world. Since then, it has covered a range of topics including, quantum technology, immigration and refugee crises and the ways in which sport and politics collide.[4]
Focused on the Asia Pacific region, the discussion and interview program aims to speak "to smart people about big ideas with expert analysis backed by facts."[5]
In June 2018 the program was broadcast out of Singapore for the 2018 North Korea–United States summit, to take advantage of Grant's dual role as presenter of Matter of Fact, and the network's Chief Asia Correspondent.[6]
