Mock Schedules

If I was creating my own retro station, this would be my starting schedule with programs replaced at end of series run (obviously influenced by program rights availability)

Weekdays ( aired from 6am to 6pm then repeated starting Monday morning)

6:00 The Flintstones
6:30 Home improvement
7:00 Just Shoot Me
7:30 Seventh Heaven
8:30 Northern Exposure
9:30 The A Team
10:30 Bonanza
11:30 Superstore
12:00 Tarzan
1:00 Grey’s Anatomy
2:00 Infomercials
3:30 The Dukes Of Hazzard
4:30 Beverly Hillbillies
5:00 Doctor At Large
5:30 The Golden Girls

Weekends ( scheduled 6am to 6pm then repeated starting Saturday morning)

6:00 Huckleberry Hound
6:30 Perfect Strangers
7:00 NewsRadio
7:30 Hercules
8:30 Lois and Clark
9:30 Paper Chase
10:30 Daniel Boone
11:30 Man With A Plan
12:00 The Waltons
1:00 Ally McBeal
2:00 Infomercials
3:30 Six Million Dollar Man
4:30 Petticoat Junction
5:00 Bless This House
5:30 Empty Nest

I don’t like the 7pm launch into reality programming. if I recall correctly up until about 10 years ago Nine metro stations did this and alternated with Two and a half men and Frasier. Nine then extended the 6pm news to 1 hour with ACA moving to 7pm.

I can understand your intentions here but if Home and Away was every to move (an unforgivable move for the devoted fans), I think a current affairs style program (such as Today Tonight) or a game show will be the show to replace it … sad but true

This is how I would program Ten for 2024

Great mock for 2024. Great minds think alike, because i was going to make a mock for 10 next year, and put new airings of cooking shows in the 11am-12pm hour too. They’re pretty much “paid advertising” anyway (aka “paid sponsorship” which pays for the show itself) , just like the infomercials on Studio 10. But i couldn’t decide what repeats to put prior to 10 am, so i ditched my plan to post it. lol.

Agreed, they need to offer something in the mornings, even if it’s those cooking shows, and arguably they are better suited to those timeslots. I could also see them putting on an infomercial at 8am for half an hour as well.

Would your late night music program play out for 2 and a half to 3 hours like MTV did or all night like Rage (til say 5am or 6am)?

I would still keep the 5pm news as a lead in and a promotional bulletin for the 6pm news. Similar to Seven and Nines Afternoon News. Also, it still gives them the opportunity to revert back to 5pm if 6pm fails.

ATV10 Melbourne trial line up for 2024.

I know some folks may disagree, but perhaps Ten could have screened The Sunday Project at 6, Christmas with Australian Women’s Weekly at 7 and The Bachelor at 8. Then encore Christmas with Australian Women’s Weekly 7:30 Friday and at Saturday afternoon (as scheduled)

But those are different timeslots to every other channel. They don’t line up with the end of other programs.

Christmas with Australian Women’s Weekly would line up with end of Seven and Nine News. I seriously doubt Ten would mind if viewers stayed tuned into Ten for the night

Schedule for Friday Night on Seven:
6:00: Seven News
7:00: Better Homes and Gardens
8:30: Breaking Bad (Double Episode)
10:50: The Latest

Because of this, the footy and cricket will be on 7mate nationwide on Fridays only.
