Inside Business is an Australian television program broadcast on ABC1. Making its debut on 4 August 2002, it presents analysis of the financial world, including the Australian sharemarket, business activities and the broader economy. The program airs at 9:30 am on Sunday morning following Insiders, and is hosted by Alan Kohler. He also conducts interviews with members of the business community, profiles emerging businesses and entrepreneurs, and often presents his own commentary at the end of the program.
The show was criticised by fellow ABC network program Media Watch for providing uncritical promotion of a floral company on its profile segment, a claim which the program denied. The issue is particularly pertinent as the ABC network carries no advertising. The show is now also shown on weekday mornings at 8:00 am on ABC2
Sleek Geeks is an Australian science television series, hosted by Dr Karl Kruszelnicki and Adam Spencer. The fourteen-part series aired from 3 January 2008, and was based on Kruszelnicki and Spencer's Sleek Geek Week travelling roadshow, as well as Kruszelnicki's Great Moments in Science broadcasts on Triple J radio. The show was co-hosted by fellow "geeks" Yumi Stynes, Ruben Meerman and Dr Stephen Bosi.
The program aimed to demonstrate scientific principles and debunk common myths and fallacies, although Kruszelnicki and Spencer were disparaging of similar programs such as Discovery Channel's MythBusters and Sky One's Brainiac: Science Abuse.
Sleek Geeks was one of the first batch of television programs offered for sale in Australia on the iTunes Store.
Sleek Geeks Season 2 aired from 11 November until 30 December 2010, on ABC1 on a Thursday night at 8.00 pm.
