Faith leaders have met the managing director of the Australian Broadcasting Commission (ABC) after the public broadcaster decided to axe some of its religious programming, with further cuts threatened.
On Wednesday, an assembled group including Fr Frank Brennan, Baptist minister Tim Costello, and the Reverend Elenie Poulos, national director of the Uniting Church, met ABC’s Michelle Guthrie.
The broadcaster will end the radio show Sunday Nights with John Cleary, a 15-year-old programme on religion and ethics, with further changes to ABC radio to be announced next week.
