The Project (previously The 7PM Project) is a multi-logie award winning Australian news-current affairs television panel program, airing weeknights across Australia on Network Ten. The show is hosted by Waleed Aly, Carrie Bickmore and Peter Helliar, with rotating daily guest panellists. The one hour show, formerly half-hour, premiered on 20 July 2009 and airs live in the eastern states with delays in other states (including Queensland during daylight saving). It is produced from Network Ten's Melbourne studios. The Project draws its content and comedy from recent news stories and offers a sometimes alternative view to mainstream, sponsored news stories. It runs for 51 weeks of the year, taking brief breaks during the Christmas and New Year period.
The Project (as of 2016) has won 6 Logie Awards, as well as other accolades.
The program is hosted by Waleed Aly, Carrie Bickmore and Peter Helliar with regular guest panellists appearing during the week. They have included Steve Price, Natasha Stott-Despoja, Todd Sampson, Meshel Laurie, Gorgi Coghlan, Mia Freedman, Gretel Killeen, Nicole Livingstone, Anthony 'Lehmo' Lehmann, Tommy Little, Ryan Fitzgerald, Jennifer Byrne, Kate Langbroek, Steve Vizard, Fifi Box, Meshel Laurie and Dr Chris Brown. The hosts are often joined by several special guests during the course of an episode.
