The Logie for Best Entertainment Program is an award presented annually at the Australian TV Week Logie Awards. It was first awarded at the 28th Annual TV Week Logie Awards, held in 1986 when the award was originally called Most Popular Australian Light Entertainment Program.[1] Over the years, it has also been known as Most Popular Light Entertainment Program (1987–1988, 1993–2014),[2][3] Most Popular Light Entertainment or Comedy Program (1989–1992)[4] and Most Popular Entertainment Program (2015). For the 2016 ceremony, the award was renamed Best Entertainment Program.[5]

It is given to recognise an Australian light entertainment program from various formats including comedy, talent, variety, music, talk, and traditional game shows. The winner and nominees of this category are chosen by the public through an online voting survey on the TV Week website.[6] Hey Hey It's Saturday holds the record for the most wins, with nine, followed by Rove with six wins.
