The ABC’s current affairs program Q+A is reportedly set to be axed after 17 years on television.

The long-running panel show — which first aired in 2008 — was pulled by the National broadcaster despite its expected return to screens in August, according to the Sydney Morning Herald.

Q+A had been on break since the end of May, with the show airing for 17 seasons.
