70th anniversary of television

To commemorate the 70th anniversary of Australian television, during the ceremony there were three inductees inducted into the Logie Hall of Fame for the year.

Additionally, TV Week conducted a poll in which readers could vote to determine the top 70 shows in Australian television. 140 shows were shortlisted by the magazine and voters could add their own shows if they did not appear on the list. Voting concluded on 21 June 2026, with the results set to be honoured in the Logie Awards ceremony.
