Iâm sorry but no. Wonât work.
Nice idea but realistically it will be a nightmare to implement unfortunately.

I love hourly news bulletins but the sort of people who do are going to be watching the ABC News Channel.
A nice idea but not at all practical to implement or from a viewing perspective. As you say, it takes out a lot of room for advertising which is the lifeblood of a commercial station. Also expecting viewers to just cop a 10-minute news interruption during a program such as in prime time is very counter-productive and will do nothing but send people changing channels. Also if youâre just doing 10 minute news spots in lieu of regular bulletins across the rest of the day youâre really just going to get the same stories every hour. Thereâs not much opportunity to cover a range of stories as a half-hour or hour bulletin would allow.
If you are going to do hourly news updates they would have to be brief, which is what already happens most of the time.

5- 10 News with Sandra Sully (national) [presented in a more conversational format ala old late news with more features]
6- 10 News (city name) [fast paced local news format, back to local single anchors]
7- prime time programming
9 - The Project
10 - prime time cont.

Much better than what they have.
Move The Project though to 9:30 so they can have reality 7-8:30 and HYBPA/Cheap Seats etc at 8:30pm.
Counter with this.
Looking at ratings figures, the 6pm news is almost the same as 5pm news these days, which will only continue to erode at 5pm. I propose national at 5pm to keep hold of the timeslot for news, and concentrate local news efforts on 6pm and 9.30pm, where more audience eyes are on and to try and keep hold of an audience post reality/comedy which just disappears to streaming. Also 6.30 edition of The Project really isnât working, best to try and expand the core news audience. Again 5pm edition would contain more features and live interviews.
5.00: 10 News (national with Sandra Sully)
6.00: 10 News [City Name] (Local news)
7.00: The Project
7.30: / Primetime / (Reality tentpoles/comedies/any local drama)
9.30: 10 News [City Name] (Local News)
10.00: / Primetime cont / (US content, NCIS etc)
11.00: The Project (R)
11.30: Colbert

I like the idea of late evening state news - would be a good point of difference. 2130 as âlate but not too lateâ seems like a good time.
I like it⌠but I would throw a Game Show into the 5.30pm timeslot.
Looking at the shit 10 are serving up for the next few weeks before Celebrity kicks off again, I decided to put together a schedule until Christmas (excl X-mas day and Saturdays) using whatever they had still left on the shelves, taking a few series from P+ and took the liberty of inserting an A-Leauge magazine show in there which probably will need to be moved to later in the evening.

I strongly believe that after this yearâs very poor ratings, both The Bachelor and The Bachelorette should be rested for the year. They are both very tired brands IMO. There should be two factors that need to be considered for a return in 2023, and ONLY ONE show should be returned:
- Look for contestants during the year, and create a mock cast of Bachelor+Bachelorettes and Bachelorette+Bachelors, and decide which will provide the best possible show.
- Most importantly, if itâs clear people miss it.
Before Big Brother, Australian Survivor, Offspring, The Amazing Race Australia and even when Karl Stefanovic returned, people were vocal in them returning. They wanted them back on their screens, and when they returned they regained their loyal fan base somewhat quickly, which slowed them to build on that and be successful. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and IMO that applies to television. Now sometimes a network returns a show completely out of the blue and it is successful (Farmer Wants A Wife) I will admit. However Ten should not rest the show for a year just for the sake of it and then return, as it does work in all cases, like with The Biggest Loser in 2017. No one really missed the format, so it was not successful. I believe the same thing will happen with MKR on Seven next year.
To replace The Bachelor and The Bachelorette next year, I have come up with this mock guide for 7.30pm.
Monday 3 January-Thursday 27 January (4 Weeks): Iâm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here
Sunday 30 January-Thursday 3 February (1 Week): Iâm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here (S), Australian Survivor (M-W), Ambulance Australia (Th)
Sunday 6 February-Thursday 24 March (7 Weeks): Australian Survivor (S-Tu), The First Inventors (W), Ambulance Australia (Th)
Sunday 27 March-Thursday 14 April (3 Weeks): Come Dine With Me Australia (S-W), Ambulance Australia (Th)
Sunday 17 April-Thursday 21 April (1 Week): Easter Sunday (Filler Programming), MasterChef (M-Th)
Sunday 24 April-Thursday 7 July (11 Weeks): MasterChef
Sunday 10 July-Thursday 14 July (1 Week): MasterChef (S-Tu), State Of Origin (Filler Programming-W), Fillers (Th)
Sunday 17 July-Thursday 25 August (6 Weeks): Australian Survivor (S-Tu), Hunted Australia (W-Th)
Sunday 28 August-Thursday 8 September (2 Weeks): Australian Survivor (S-Tu), The Amazing Race Australia (W-Th)
Sunday 11 September-Thursday 6 October (4 Weeks): The Masked Singer (S-Tu), The Amazing Race Australia (W-Th)
Sunday 9 October-Thursday 24 November (7 Weeks): Celebrity MasterChef (S-M), The Dog House Australia (Tu), Shark Tank (W-Th)
Thereâs only three formats that Ten havenât announced in there.
I slotted The First Inventors for Wednesday 7.30 during Q1. This is a hard slot for Ten, since it will be up against the MAFS dinner parties. We saw this for Ten with The Cube. But this will offer an alternative to the shiny floor shows on Seven and Nine, and may give it a chance to do OK in the older demos.
A lot of people have called for Come Dine With Me, so I slotted that in before MasterChef. I think that is right time of year for it, and keeps the seat warm for the big event that is MasterChef.
I returned Celebrity MasterChef, as it held up OK in Q4 this year.
I also slotted Shark Tank in Q4. I was always a big fan of the show and believe it was cancelled too soon. The show was not strong enough for 7.30 however, so I slotted in for Wednesday and Thursday to give it the best possible chance, particularly since it will have the Gogglebox lead out on Thursdayâs.
Believe it or not, I do my own TV guides, and have done for years (Iâm almost 21). I am a big admirer of TV programming. Any praise or criticism is welcome. Thanks!

I have come up with an idea that Ten could run with to fill between 2pm and 4:30pm weekdays without disturbing too much. Weekdays would be The Afternoon Kitchen and on weekends The Weekend Kitchen. These are program suggestions for such a concept and could add titles as new programs are produced. I was thinking, Ready Steady Cook could even do celebrity editions for the weekend (they could even try it as a first run prime time filler in the non ratings period)
