The Logie for Best Factual Program is an award presented annually at the Australian TV Week Logie Awards. It is given to recognise an Australian factual program. The award was first awarded at the 50nd Annual TV Week Logie Awards ceremony, held in 2008 when it was originally called Most Popular Factual Program.[1] For the 2016 ceremony, it was renamed Best Factual Program.[2]
The award was discontinued after the 55th Annual TV Week Logie Awards in 2013,[3] however the category will be reinstated in 2016 at the 58th Annual TV Week Logie Awards.[4] The winner and nominees of Best Factual Program are chosen by the public through an online voting survey on the TV Week website.[5] Bondi Rescue holds the record for the most wins, winning the category every year it has been awarded.
