The way 10 goes, I can’t see it lasting long on 10 play. Doubt the demand for it is truly there, even if a few passionate fans have asked for it.
I must admit I do wonder what the strategy is here. Are they wanting soap fans to watch all 5 soaps? 5 hours of TV a day?
You could probably fill a channel by timeshifting many of these soaps, doing weekend marathons, and possibly gaining access to archive Aussie soaps like Neighbours, Prisoner (I think 10 already have this still), E Street, Carson’s Law etc. Even gain access to US stuff like Dynasty etc overnight. Fill it in with advertorials and live fan-based events and you may have something.
Alternatively, I’d be curious to know how 2 or 3 of these USA soaps would play out on the traditional afternoon timeslots on the main 10 channel, following maybe a ‘Midday Show’ revamp + News etc.
10 must be getting these cheap since Foxtel and 9 lost interest.
I think they need to give Neighbours priority so it appears first on the list of soaps. In fact, all the local and newest programming should be given priority and appear first on every list.
Could not agree more. The US soaps must be doing really well on 10Play I guess for them to be so prominent.
Yes. Exactly. So if they’re doing well then they don’t need a bigger boost.
BuzzFeed Food, as announced at 10’s Upfronts, has quietly launched on 10 play.
A new Embarrassing Bodies FAST channel has been added.
Anyone sick of the live streaming crashing back into programs too late from the ad break? Happens all the time. It’s incredibly frustrating.
Does anyone know how to restart a live program? For example if I turn the TV on at 6.07pm and want to watch Deal or No Deal from the start of the episode can this be done? It’s easy enough to work out on 9Now.
Can’t be done on 10Play unfortunately.
10play is an has always been a heap of shit it’s running on old gear, it isn’t intuitive and it crashes in and out and often just doesn’t play properly. They really need a full scale redo when they switch the name next year
