It was first awarded at the 28th Annual TV Week Logie Awards ceremony, held in 1986 as Best Light Entertainment Program but has had many changes over the years.[2]

In previous years, programs would have qualified in different categories such as Best Australian Comedy (1967-1968, 1972-1974),[2][3] Best Comedy Show (1969),[4] Best Comedy (1970).[5] Also, Best Variety Show (1961-1962), Best National Variety Show (1964) and Best Musical/Variety Show.

The category was awarded as the Most Outstanding Achievement in Comedy Program from 1994 to 1998 [6] but in 1999, the category was dropped. From 2000, the award category was restored as Most Outstanding Comedy Program. [7]

In 2010, the category was changed to Most Outstanding Light Entertainment Program which included comedy panel, talent and variety shows.[8] From 2015, the category was split into Most Outstanding Entertainment Program and a reinstated Most Outstanding Comedy Program category. [9] This award categories were eliminated again in 2018. [10]

From 2019, the Most Outstanding Entertainment Program category was reinstated and includes comedy, panel, talent, variety, music, talk, and traditional game shows.
