The Project

The one-hour show, formerly half-hour, premiered on 20 July 2009 and aired live nightly excluding Saturdays, in the eastern states with delays in other states (including Queensland during daylight saving). It was broadcast Monday to Friday from Network 10's studio in The Como Centre, South Yarra, Melbourne and Sundays from Network 10's Sydney studios at Pyrmont. The Project drew its content and comedy from recent news stories and offered a sometimes alternative view to mainstream, sponsored news stories. It ran for 51 weeks of the year, taking brief breaks during the Christmas and New Year period.

The Project has won numerous accolades, 11 Logie Awards, including the Gold Logie won by hosts Carrie Bickmore and Waleed Aly.

On 9 June 2025, Network 10 confirmed that The Project would be replaced by a new current affairs program titled 10 News+, as the network was preparing to phase out its long-running show effective 30 June. The final episode of the series aired on 27 June 2025.

Following the conclusion of the program, The Project's social media accounts remained active, with several posts being made in the weeks following the finale.
