Been done before , didn’t work. Flogged a dead horse.
Not sure about Good News Day, sounds like a more Religion news type program.

I think Wanted did ok actually by 10s standards.
As for the good news day I was trying to replicate the good news segment on the project. I think 10 need to deliver news differently to their audience. Personally I have now gone in the direction of Drag News hosted by drag queens.
It would be a maximum of 90 minutes a day (30 minutes at 7pm and 1 hour at 9:30pm). That is why another possibility would be Lisa Wilkinson Tonight and be a current affairs series to rival ACA
I am just not sold on the idea. I think the project is a respectable brand with a huge online following that takes years to build. Launching a new format is only going to create longer to build that audience and reputation. And I just don’t like the idea of changing a format as great as the panel. As I said if you want to bring it back fine but keep it as it was.
But why would you axe Game Day?? It wins its time slot??

I wasn’t suggesting that Game Day be axed, simply a reformat to include other sports. This could come in handy next July/August when the Olympics are around.
Again, why would you change the format when it wins its slot?

I agree with @BJT2 - dont change something that wins its slot - it will only lead to its demise. If Seven were to do anything, I think that Seven could start Weekend Sunrise at 6:30am Saturday and Sunday and run it through to 9:30am - followed immediately on Saturday by The Morning Show (9:30am til midday) and on Sunday by Game Day and Sportsworld through to midday. Sportsworld would move to secondary channels as/where necessary

With Australia’s Got Talent returning to Seven and airing on Sundays, I think Seven will do a minor reshuffle, with House Rules on Mondays-Wednesdays for the remainder of the season.

8:30pm Sunday Night

Yeah. it’s a decent schedule there, as there’s no afl on Thursday nights from next week onwards.

Though I doubt this will happen, I think it would be a good idea if Seven extended its’ morning news to one hour and have it start at 11:00am, thus giving it a half-hour head start on Nine’s morning bulletin. This would put it in line with the local afternoon bulletin and the metro Seven News bulletins on the East Coast, which are one hour long.
This would see The Morning Show reduced to 1.75 hours (i.e. 9:15am-11:00am).
Schedule would be like this -
5:30am Sunrise
9:15am The Morning Show
11:00am Seven Morning News Hour
12:00pm onwards - as programmed.
Seven Morning News Hour would use the same format as the Seven Afternoon News format used in Sydney. The first segment would cover the top story from each market using its Sunrise reporter/correspondent.
An example only -
VOICEOVER: This is the Seven Morning News Hour with Ann Sanders (or Sally Bowrey on Fridays)
ANN SANDERS: Good morning and welcome to Seven’s Morning News Hour. This morning - [reads the headlines]
MORNING NEWS SWISH
ANN SANDERS: First, [first headline]. Amber Laidler/Jessica Ridley/Samantha Brett has the story.
story from Laidler/Ridley/Brett
ANN SANDERS: To Melbourne now, and [headline]. Nathan Templeton/David Woiwod with more.
story from Templeton/Woiwod
ANN SANDERS: In Brisbane, [headline]. Bianca Stone/Joel Dry with further details.
story from Stone/Dry
Before the first ad break, a quick check of weather with David Brown or Angie Asimus
The major stories from each market at the top of the bulletin goes in no particular order; it depends on which story is the bigger (i.e. the Melbourne story could be first).
The rest of the bulletin follows (nearly) the exact same structure as the Afternoon News bulletin, except:
- no traffic updates.
- no preview to 6:00pm bulletin; this is replaced by a check of the financial markets (on the afternoon news this is just before sport)
- before the final segment/weather, a preview of Sunrise (or Weekend Sunrise) for the following day.

A 9:15am start of the morning show? Yeah, most of the time Sunrise went into overtime since 2016, with David Koch, Samantha Armytage, Mark Beretta continuing on with the banter. This was similar over to Nine, with Today Show going into overtime with Deborah Knight, Georgie Gardner, Tom Steinfort continuing with the talk past 9am.
I would think Nine will be like this:
5am - early news
5:30am - today
9:15am - today extra
11am - morning news
11:30am - extra
12 Noon - Normal programming.

Nine use to commence their bulletin at 11.00am, and it went for an hour.

And then it got reduced to half an hour again, going H2H with Seven’s morning news.
Not long ago, the three commercial networks had their morning bulletins at different times - Seven’s at 10:30am, Nine’s at 11 and Ten’s at 11:30am. This meant you could watch 90 minutes of news consecutively on three different channels!
To complete the quadrella, there was also ABC’s Midday News.

Here is a morning schedule I would like to see Ten with in the future (albeit probably won’t happen)
Monday To Friday
5:00am The Early Show - possibly hosted by Mike Hammond or Paul Higgins with an up and coming female reporter (perhaps one of those that have lost their job at WIN)
7:00am Ten Morning News
8:00am Studio 10
10:30am Ten 30 News
11:00am The Talk or cooking shows
3 Likes
Yeah, The Talk at 11am? I think this will be good. That way they will have a consistent US show lineup for TEN during daytime.
Here is a possible Summer mid/late afternoon/ early evening schedule
Nine
3:00pm Nine News Now
4:00pm UK Game show
5:00pm National Nine Afternoon News
6:00pm National Nine News
** 7:00pm A Current Affair**
9Gem
4:30pm Vet On The Hill
5:00pm Millionaire Hot Seat (rpt)
6:00pm As Scheduled
If the UK program proved successful, then Nine may adopt this schedule on 2020
Nine
2:00pm Nine News Now
3:00pm UK Game show
4:00pm National Nine Afternoon News
5:00pm Game show
6:00pm National Nine News
7:00pm A Current Affair
If the 5pm news works and the UK game show is a moderate success, another option could be
Nine
3:00pm Nine News Now
4:00pm UK Game show
5:00pm National Nine Afternoon News
6:00pm Hot Seat - a revised edition back to 30 minute format - east coast regionals to screen Nine Regional News (possibly in SCA regions a multi-region format eg Wollongong and Central West and Canberra and Riverina etc)
6:30pm National Nine News
** 7:00pm A Current Affair**

Yeah, I like the 2nd one. I think it will go head-to-head with Seven in the ratings. Hot Seat - Will it survive in 2020?

I think best case scenario would be a half hour format next year with the possibility of it either being axed or moving to 9Gem permanently - the latter being less likely as none of the FTA channels really invest in new Australian content (apart from Neighbours - which is probably only surviving die to international sales)
