The site was started by television critic David Knox in 2007 after listeners of his radio programs asked him for information they had missed.[3] Knox runs the site,[2][4] publishing his interviews with Australian media actors, producers, directors and programmers.[5] Knox regularly visits the sets of Australian television series[6][7][8] and reviews television programs.[9]
Knox also served as television critic for ABC Radio National's breakfast program from 2009 to 2015.[10] Dan Barrett is now in this role.[11] Knox has an advanced diploma in screenwriting and was the founding Artistic Director of Screenplay.[5]
TV Tonight is also referenced in Australian media, including The Sydney Morning Herald[12] and news.com.au,[13] while Knox gives commentary for other media outlets including News Corp Australia,[14] MediaWeek[15] and ABC.[16]
The website began a campaign to include more female Logie Awards Hall of Fame inductees.[17] A year after the campaign, the event's second female inductee was admitted in Noni Hazlehurst at the 2016 ceremony.[18]
