What do you think?

2183

With Neighbours returning in the second half.of 2023, id like to see this happen to 10 when it returns (Monday to Thursday):

5.00pm: News (as is)
6.30pm: Neighbours
7.00pm: The Project
7.30pm: reality tentpole
8.30pm: talk shows / factuals

Fridays:
5.00pm: News (as is)
6.30pm: Neighbours
7.00pm: The Project extended show (replacing The Living Room)
8.30pm: The Graham.Norton Show

The Project Fridays extended to 90 minutes, to incorporate extended interviews, do a week in review, and showcase whats ahead on the weekend. More relaxed version

Not sure they could rationalise The Project to 30 mins a night these days with the money they are spending there, if anything they could follow Studio 10 and extend to 90 mins each weeknight.

2185

You mean 10 News First?

2186

No actually Studio 10, in that it started as two hours, and in a cost-conscious move they incrementally extended the program gradually to probably keep the wolves at bay. It was four hours a day until they added the breakfast bulletin only recently.

With Sarah Harris moving onto The Project, and Lisa Wilkinson announcing her departure I would take this as an opportunity at 10 to refresh their morning lineup.

6am to 8am run 10 New First as a double header with a more magazine / conversational tone. This can be done with Natasha Exelby, and Daniel Doody.

8am to 10am I would run Studio 10 with Angela Bishop and Steve Jacobs.

10am through 11am I would have a headline program ala Kerrie Anne Kennerly, with Lisa at the helm. Aptly titled ‘Lisa’.

2188

What about Tristan McManus does he still get a gig I think he hosts alright maybe with his wife

2189

With 10’s daytime schedule changing in 2023 (Studio 10 at 10am;, Midday News in action)

5.00am: The Project (rpt) from the night before
6.00am: CBS Mornings
7.30am: The Talk
8.30am: Judge Judy
9.00am: Dr Phil
10.00am: Studio 10
12pm: News at 12
1.00pm: Reality repeat
2.30pm: Entertainment Tonight
3.00pm: Magazine talk-show
3.30pm: Cooking shows double episodes
4.30pm: Bold and the Beautiful (new episodes)

Ideally, id like to have a morning news broadcast in the breakfast slot (6 or 7am start), but we know 10 wont do it. So i just moved their current US imports to a later start to fill some void.

Yes most likely the wont but I would love them introducing 6-7am news as well as late news. It would put the news offering on point from 1995-2010.

They literally just axed this week the same thing you’re asking for (except an hour earlier). It’s done. News on 10 in the morning doesn’t work. People don’t want it. People don’t want the others too based on continuous decreasing ratings.

2192

I would have a 9am bulletin. Leave breakfast alone.

10 needs to add news into timeslots where Seven and Nine are not.

2193

An updated version featuring two seperate posts for tests and BBL respectively. The fixtures will be based off this year as an example. All time will be listed in AEDT, so 9am would be 8:30am in Adelaide, 8:00am in Brisbane, 7:30am in Darwin and 6:00am in Perth.

Alternatively, they could do this:

  1. Move 10 News First to BOLD like they did in the past for sport
  2. Cancel the whole bulletin all-together
  3. Air a 5pm bulletin on BOLD as well as 11:30pm on the main channel ala Seven in the past with the AFL Grand Final (6pm news was on 7TWO and news was at end of footy on the main channel, 8pm etc.
