Personally I would rather see a 1 hour news bulletin from 11am and possibly start Today at 5 with Today Extra from 8:30am Monday thru Saturday.
I also think Weekend Today should start at 6am instead of 7am. On Sunday WT should be on until 9am with a WWOS starting at 9am instead of 10am. During footy season both The Footy Show should start at 10am. Outside of footy season WWOS could air until 11am.
Essentially, Talkback Today would be a hybrid program — combining elements of a call-in show and a debate forum — that expands on the hot topics and conversations featured during Nine Talk’s Overnight and Breakfast slots across the network.
As an alternative, if the Talk assets are sold off, a more in-depth Press Preview format would serve as the fallback plan.
5am - Today Early News
5:30 - Today - Karl & Sara
8am - SAM
9am - Today Extra
11am - Nine Morning News
Today is a lost cause for Adelaide and Perth, I’d structure it a bit different for them.
Adelaide would get a local hour from 7am and local news at 11am.
Perth would air the Today live from 5am AWST, the full show would air live on 9GEM and 9Now.
6am - Today in WA with Tracy Vo
8am - SAM
9am - Today Extra
11am - Nine Morning News WA.
Weekends
6am - Weekend Today
9am - Today Extra
10am - Nine Morning News
11am - WWOS
12pm (Sunday) - Sunday Footy Show
If 10 were willing to invest in Saturday and Sunday mornings this would be my counter offer to your Weekend morning offerings
Saturday
5:00am Joseph Prince
5:30am Good Chef Bad Chef
6:00am Video Hits
8:30am Video Hits Presents
9:00am Sportscentre 10 - sports stories from the week and analysis as well as interviews and a panel based discussion (similar to what Seven had on Sportsworld back in the day)
11:00am Inside News - my preference would be for this to be similar to Newsweek.
Sunday
4:00am Hour Of Power
5:00am Key Of David
5:30am Mass For You
6:00am Video Hits
8:30am Face The Nation Australia - political program with interviews and analysis of Federal and state politics. Perhaps as a point of difference have a pre-recorded insert for each state (6-7 minute block)
9:30am Sunday Morning - I would loosely base this on Nines Sunday as a more serious focus on stories that matter
10 News+ should move to 3pm and be more like what Nine News Now was but also have screen a 6 to 7 minute insert for each states News at around 3:30pm
10 should either launch a half hour news bulletin - 10 National News at 6pm or screen a national current affairs show. Assuming new episodes of Deal Or No Deal isnt being made, slip that into 6:30pm as a temporary measure until they find a permanent replacement ( possibly Wheel Of Fortune Australia or Sale Of The Century)
Reboot Page One and make it what 10 News+ was originally said to be when launched. This should be a mid evening program.
Inside News should be a Newsweek inspired program
Face The Nation Australia a political based program with a pre-recorded state politics insert for each state.
Sunday Morning would be loosely based on Nines Sunday
You could name it Sportscentral 10 or 10 Sports Action if you like - it was essentially used as a descriptor/working title and many programs start with a working title until they find one that can be used.
Although there is 60 Minutes Australia and 60 Minutes USA and similar situation with ACA, I won’t argue they still could use it.
Back in the 1990s, when Seven started working on what became Witness, I remember SBS rushed to register the name of Dateline to ensure 7 couldn’t use it. At the time Seven was screening NBC Dateline early mornings.
Obviously all the program working titles would need to be investigated to ensure there is no problem using them.
Monday to Friday Schedule on 10 (Local time, best way to resurrect the network):
