Hi,
This topic only applies to the Kelvin version of the Australian English dictionary.
Both the words programme and program will continue to be in the full version of the Australian English dictionary.
I am currently reviewing whether or not "programme" should remain in the Kelvin version of the dictionary.
According to the Australian Oxford and Macquarie dictionaries I use as an authoritative reference,
in Australia it appears program is now the primary spelling.
I am reluctant to change the Kelvin version as I feel programme is used in situations such as a concert programme,
and program is used for computer program.
Although I personally am hazy as to whether it should be TV program or TV programme,
but my personal preference would be TV program.
NOTE: This change will only apply to the Kelvin version of the dictionary.
