List of Australian music television shows

This is a list of Australian produced music television shows.

Early days of music television pre-dated video clips, and included variety style series, miming series, and pop series, and with the advent of music videos, shows gave way to slickly prepackaged film clips with a host compère mixing live local acts (e.g. Countdown ). The most recent trend has been towards near and complete compère-free shows which show music videos exclusively (e.g. Rage and AMV ).

Talent quests and competitions are shown in the second table below.

Music-oriented talent quests/shows

Talent quest shows have been popular throughout Australia's television broadcasting history. A typical format is a selection of unknown singers or musicians (as opposed to established recording artists) performing before a panel of judges who award points with the winner receiving a cash prize or a recording contract. More recent incarnations have had the heats and eliminations running over several months with public votes included (e.g. Australian Idol ).

Young Talent Time was one of Australia's longest running talent quest shows (1971–1988) and included a mix of regular in-house performers with a weekly talent competition.

While not specifically focused on music, most of the contestants were either singers or instrumentalists.
