Where is Family Feud?

It’s owned by Sony, I think you will find.

In the US they have local programming in certain time slots. Before the metropolitan stations were programmed on a national basis, each capital varied their daytime viewing at certain times. Considering that a timeslot that works in Perth won’t necessarily work in Sydney and vice versa

Dead. It’s a flop and has no place.

Agree. Unless the sales of the FF Board Game are crazy good, there is no reason to bring it back.

48 Hours and Judge Judy on CBS “Laughs”?

Sorry wanted to rename its CBS Reality.

Why wouldn’t you just keep the Australian focussed channel as “TEN”, using the branding that already exists, plus the knowledge of what shows have always been on TEN, etc?

CBS Drama looks pretty well like it’d match normal CBS USA evening blocks?

Oh… yes I like the breakdown between Aussie and US styles.

I agree it should be called ten but i think CBS will call it CBS.

Ten-CBS would be a better name

I think they’ll stick with TEN as they’ve acknowledged the strong brand recognition in what little they’ve said about the takeover.

But I could give CBS10 a go.

Hopefully TEN have a massive rebrand and get the CBS quality and inspired station ID’s, news sets, graphics etc

But ten have 3 channel brands now. It’d be a waste to move to 3 brands CBS, One, and 11… losing the most recognised one.

Which… to bring this back to Mock Schedules, is why I do like the idea of a “CBS” channel following the US network closely. CBS quality, station IDs, news, sets, graphics - as you say.

But with TEN showing our far more Aussie shows … reality shows, Neighbours, studio 10 and The Project. Which is TEN’s current brand recognition plus fills Australian content regulation. “TEN” instead of “CBS Australian”

Make people think we’ve got a brand new high end channel CBS in addition to TEN. If it’s possible.

The question would be where does a 60minutes style show belong, or Eyewitness News (which is what CBS already calls their news in the USA).

Edit: Though I think “CBS Eyewitness News” at 6pm sends a message to viewers that it’s a major player, due to its recognised time slot.

In the US, CBS News goes up against NBC News and ABC News at 6:30pm, so a 6pm edition is not so far fetched. However, before they take a gamble like that they will need to make inroads on the gap between itself and the number 2 network (in most of Australia, that would be Nine or its regional affiliate).

Also, there is no guarantee that CBS will fill Ten and the secondary channels with just CBS programming, because they will still be looking at what will bring the best return for CBS. Some deals may remain with some shows being packaged for Nine or Seven, because CBS can will the void with Australian content. Ultimately, we may end up with some content in the early hours of the day such as college football on One. Also if you consider, CBS owned one third of 11 and it only had half an hour a day of religion (or home shopping in regional markets), then it is possible they could shift most of the home shopping on the main channel to 11.

But again as I said, it will depend on what will generate the best return for CBS

Not a bad attempt. The only main thing I might change is get rid of State based Current Affairs (it never tends to work well) and go the hour long news. Also, bring YATR nearer to B&B.

I considered that, but thought what could WIN drop for its News in regional markets. Also I considered that maybe it could incorporate less important state based issues. The other option I considered was Neighbours at 6:30pm (aired simultaneously with 11 and repeated on 11 with Bold and The Beautiful 10:00am till 11:00am weekdays.

Also in my thought was, it TEN wanted to go head to head with Seven and Nine, would it maintain a one hour bulletin. I feel that if Ten wanted to maintain the 1 hour edition, it would keep Family Feud at 6pm.

That’s a Sony show. The Talk is the obvious show to go in that slot. Or something new like DailyMailTV? Anyone seen that?
