But the schedule I have just posted is over summer… With Celebrity again starting where it did this year, considering how well it did.
Sorry I thought you meant pre-Christmas…
Another option could be doing a short series around Easter when things end and there is a small window of time
I am talking about pre-christmas. Then in January you would have Celebrity again or swap the two. I don’t think 10 has enough room in the scheudle for your idea. But make a schedule up and show me how it could work or what you would leave out.
With the disaster that was Changing Rooms, here is what I would be doing for the next five weeks.
Sunday
19:30 Sunday Night Takeaway
21:00 NCIS
Monday
19:30 Dancing with the Stars
21:00 NCIS: Los Angeles
Tuesday
19:30 Ambulance Australia
20:30 Hughesy, We Have a Problem
Wednesday
19:30 Show Me the Movie!
20:30 Law & Order: SVU
Thursday
19:30 Ambulance UK
20:30 Gogglebox Australia
Friday
19:30 Changing Rooms (double episodes)
I would personally swap your Wednesday and Thursday 7:30 options. Firstly because show me the movie skews to a similar ABC audience at the time you suggested. And secondly ambulance would be a more mature audience for SVU.

So you’re writing off Fridays I assume? Double episodes 7.30 - 11pm will basically give 10 like a 3% share given the figures it did last night. Maybe a single episode dumped at 9/930.
That’s why a late local news service makes most sense for Ten. Air it at 9.30 after their primetime hour at 8.30. I’d still prefer local at 5.30 too but this could work as well.
5.00: Neighbours (replay on Peach)
5.30: Ten News First with Sandra Sully (National)
6.30: The Project
7.30: Reality
8.30: Comedy/Drama
9.30: Ten News First LOCAL
So with Changing Rooms being a big flop this is what I would do towards the end of the year and next year on 10:
November - End of December

6:00 Sports Tonight/Project
6:30 The Project

I don’t ageee with moving 5pm news. What do you think 9 and 7 will do when that frees up?
I agree that 10 need to keep a news service at 5pm, whether that be a local or national service but I could see them moving to a half hour service if there was a better use of the 5:30-6:00 or 5:30-6:30pm timeslot moving forward.

Just to let you know Love Island works for 9 in a stripped format not a once a week format.
Just an idea for the 6pm slot for the year when shows like Masterchef is on could they use the contestants to produce a 6pm show that showcases one or two contestants taking you through the steps of how to cook some of the favourite dishes from the week.
Then when The Bachelor is on you could show a before the rose segment and Survivor live from the Villa segment.
Not sure of how successful it would be and if it would cost more than its worth but it might be a nice alternative to News and it could help the reality shows reduce the load at 7:30.

Ten would be crazy to vacate the 5pm timeslot. Look at how TVAM/Sunrise expanded once Ten were out of the picture with News/Breakfast television offerings (albeit a few years later).
I wouldnt want to change the 5pm to 6pm much if at all. However here is something I think Ten could do from Christmas week til the end of Janaury
Ten
5pm Ten News/Ten News First
5:30pm Pointless (or another game show)*
6:00pm Ten News at Six
6:30pm The Sports Project
7:00pm The Project
- This program could be pulled if a major event is occurring.
The later in the night on 10Boss
9:30pmThe Project (rpt)
10:00pm The Sports Project (new)
Then late night
11:30pm The Sports Project (encore of the broadcast on 10 Boss)
12:00am The Project (rpt)
I am still not a fan of removing news from that 5:30 slot. I think 10 would be silly to do it. 7 or 9 could just start their news service early. Especially 9 when you look at how Hot Seat rates. I just wouldn’t do it.
I am, however, starting to think news is the only thing 10 can really try next in that 6pm slot. Even though its not something I would watch at that time.

5:00 10 News First. Local Editions.
6:00 The Project. News and current affairs. Done differently.
7:00 10 News First. Hyper-local editions. Fast paced. Standing presentation.
For this to work it has to be 7 days a week with a consistent team. Monday through Thursday. Friday through Sunday. It will fail if this is not the case.
This implementation has to coincide with the massive promotional push that they have said they will under for The Project from March.

What do you mean by consistent team? Could you not have say Lisa working Sunday and Mondays and Carrie Tuesday-Thursday?
It goes everything I have advocated about Australian shows and products in primetime but I believe 10 should see if Judy can spice up 6pm. I have a feeling she could provide some life at 6pm.
The other alternative could be to keep the schedule I proposed except retain the 1 hour news service and move the game show (whatever that may be at the time) to either 4pm or 4:30pm (if Ten has its heart set on a daily game show) with Bold And Beautiful in the other half hour between 4pm and 5pm.
I know that a lot would disregard WIN Television here, but WIN could then screen WIN Local News at 6pm (or 6:30pm) with the Ten program (in the chosen slot) being bumped to 10 Boss or 10Peach
