In response to much complaining in the 10 thread over its frankly weak sauce schedule for the mornings, here’s what I think 10 needs to do. And before you ask - yes, I scoured through 10s TV shows available & CBS’s for a solid hour.
5am Daybreak
- Breakfast News Show that has news for the market it airs in and yes it can go live into Perth due to the timing of it:
5am AEST East Coast News | 5am AEDT NSW, VIC & TAS News
5.30am AEST NT, SA & East Coast News | 5.30 AEDT SA, NSW, VIC & TAS News
6am AEST NT, SA & East Coast News | 6am AEDT QLD, SA, NSW, VIC & TAS News
6.30am AEST NT, SA & East Coast News | 6.30am AEDT NT, SA, NSW, VIC & TAS News
7am AEST WA, SA & NT News | 7am AEDT NT, SA & QLD News
7.30am AEST WA News | 7.30am AEDT NT & QLD
8am AEST WA News | 8am AEDT NT & WA News
8.30am AEST WA News | 8.30am AEDT WA News
9am AEST Program End | 9am til 10am AEDT WA News
Slogan it As the Day breaks, so does news. Start your day informed with Daybreak. Only on 10.
And boom, breakfast show that does what Today & Sunrise can’t. Go live into every market with news that they actually care about.
7am The Drew Barrymore Show
8am Neighbours
8.30am Rules of Engagement
9am The Bold & The Beautiful RPT
9.30am Young & The Restless/Days of Our Lives/General Hospital [note: until they actually get an FTA rights, air Deal Or No Deal repeats)
10am Primetime Program RPT
11.30am What’s Up Down Under
12pm Escape Fishing with ET
12.30pm All 4 Adventure
1pm 10 News First Lunchtime
2pm Lingo
3pm Wheel Of Fortune
3.30pm 10 News First Afternoon
4pm Neighbours
4.30pm The Bold & The Beautiful
5pm 10 News First
6pm Deal Or No Deal
6.30pm The Project
7.30pm Primetime shows
10pm 10’s Late News
10.30pm After Midnight
11.30pm The Late Show With Stephen Colbert
12.30pm Farm To Fork
1pm Infomercial
As it’s seen, I’ve divided it into blocks - 8am to 10am being that drama block of programming, the 11.30 to 1pm block as adventure-esque shows and the 2pm til 3.30pm block being game shows. Oh, and a new local breakfast show that 10 will never do because they don’t see the market share or appeal
Also slotted in a new CBS gameshow that from the clips looks quite good and is probably of much larger appeal than a Project repeat at 11pm & NCIS at 10.30pm.
I spent far too long on this
