Indeed, and I think if Seven were to go down the path of a national bulletin again, it could go for an hour this time (given that’s the duration of the afternoon news these days), and that it should be anchored by someone like Peter Mitchell, who brings a lot of authority and credibility.

Unfortunately the only chance of me watching regularly would be it running for 30 minutes like The Latest. Even when The Latest used to regularly run for 40-45 minutes it really was testing my patience as a viewer.

I’d like it, but it wouldn’t work in the current climate.

Too expensive for a daytime show. Keep the Afternoon News at 4pm and The Chase Australia at 5pm.
Here’s what I reckon Seven should do for Q1:

Haha I love how you are scheduling TBA’s for 7.
I think your schedule might be accurate.

My Channel 10 schedule. My idea centres around channel 10 poaching the cricket from channel 7. I would also shift my focus on primetime (5:00-10:30) being Australian content.

As much as I like that schedule…
I can’t see 10 going for the cricket again in future. Celebrity is clearly doing well for them and will stay in the summer slots as long as it is still delivering.
The Circle would be great. I thought for sure an Australian version would have been made by now, with the pandemic it would surely be an easy show to make. The networks usually don’t put much effort in towards November, so that could work in its favour.
Making It will be interesting, I’m not overly confident it will bring the viewers in. The time of year and personalities will be very important for this I feel. Against The Block, I’m not so sure.

I agree I doubt 10 would go for the cricket again but I think they did a great job of it before and I do think they could make it work on their network.

The schedule is awesome, but why a repeat of The Project? Not worth the slot.

Ten had been repeating The Project for a while now - sometimes as early as 10.30pm. But it usually airs around the 11.30pm mark. If i was 10, id have The Late Show air before the repeat of The Project.

Dumb programming. It’s still prime time and I don’t understand why a repeat is needed. They could have it at 12-1am

It’s cheap?
I agree it’d double Seinfeld or put The Simpsons there, but it’s 10.

They are wasting their prime time slot. If they want to become the number one network (ever) they need to have a good schedule (with no repeats in prime time) to achieve it. Their network seems to only care about The Project if that’s the case.
End of rant.

In the wake of Andrew O’Keefe leaving The Chase and a new host joining the program soon, here’s a minor schedule revamp I’d implement:
Weekdays
5:00am Seven Early News
5:30am Sunrise
9:15am The Morning Show
12:00pm Seven Midday News
1:00pm Movie
3:00pm Classic Dramas (Packed to the Rafters, All Saints, Blue Heelers etc.)
4:00pm The Chase UK
5:00pm Seven News at 5 (national bulletin)
5:30pm The Chase Australia (revamped fast-paced, exciting format including only two contestants, more chances to win cash, contestants penalised for incorrect answers)
6:00pm Seven News
