 In January 2020, ABC announced that Indira Naidoo will replace Sarah MacDonald and host the show from Friday to Sunday from Friday 7 February.In November 2016, ABC announced that "Nightlife" would move to a 7-day format.This decision was met with criticism from within Australian country music circles and from Australian religious leaders as the new 7-day format prompted the ABC to remove the long-running "Saturday Night Country with Felicity Urquhart" from metropolitan ABC stations and to completely axe the religious and ethics program "Sunday Nights with John Cleary".
