Don’t get me wrong...more power to the ABC for popularising Astronomy.
There should be far, far more of it IMHO...but the key to that is doing it well, then, maybe, just maybe, it might become regular programming.
As a side issue, I supplied most of the equipment for a school observatory not that long ago. It’s a great facility with a 20” RC....not cheap, but I was agog to discover same school spent 28x more (we are talking many $millions) on a....wait for it...gymnasium. Comparted to sport in Australia, it seems Astronomy/Science/Tech is only a passing interest.
