10 Mock Schedule for significant news changes
The Project moves to 6 and beefs up with more news and live crosses to 10 News reporters, less emphasis on comedy. 10 News moves to 9pm, with three editions (Mel/Ade/Tas get Jen Keyte from Melbourne, Syd/Bri get Sandra Sully from Sydney, Perth gets Narelda from Sydney). Weekends are national at 9 with Chris Bath.
Tentpole programming moves to 7pm to get a jump on competitors, with two hours of consistent programming, shows like HYBPA move to 8pm from 8.30pm. Times are consistent to allow news to start bang on 9pm (classification allows M in that timeslot).

I like it. Would 7:30 have shows like have you been paying attention or would they air after the 9pm news?
Iām not too sure if bold goes well into the project but I do like it.
More flexible this way.
Sorry I didnāt read it properly. I really like the idea.
Time for Seven to capitalise on what they do best - News and Current Affairs.
Iād propose they create a brand new program, 7NEWS Investigates (as a working title), airing weeknights 7pm-7:30pm. The program will be hosted by Michael Usher, and follows a similar format to A Current Affair, where he introduces a story then throws to a reporters package etc. Except this show would be much more credible than ACA, no dodgy, tabloid stories.
Home and Away moves to a 3:30pm slot on the main channel, with The Chase UK pushed back to 2:30pm.
Furthermore, Iād like to see Seven plan the week into Sunday being News/current affairs night, Monday & Tuesday for one reality show, and Wednesday & Thursday for another reality show.
For Sunday evenings - to be Sevenās equivalent of 60 Minutes, theyād have 7NEWS Spotlight (as a working title), airing Sundayās 7pm-8pm, as their show for long form investigate journalism.
Here would be my proposed primetime schedule

Ch7 losing the AFL?
That schedule isnāt taking AFL into account.
When AFL is airing in its respective states, programming on main channel would be moved to 7TWO.

Just what Australia needs - even more news. Sunday nights especially they need to clear to establish a slot for family entertainment - Holey Moley and Ultimate Tag were both doomed because Seven (and Aussie TV in general) just donāt have established slots where you find that sort of thing now.
Clearing 6.30-7.30 for such shows on Sundays would be a start, or allowing 7-8.30 by pushing the reality shows to airing either Mon-Wed or Mon-Thu.
Also think itās probably time the Aussie networks looked at a stripped approach for Aussie drama rather than them getting lost in the shadow of the reality franchises once a week. ITV in the UK have been having great success with 3 or 4 part dramas stripped across a single week (as are C5 as well), and that is surely a strategy that fits in with how Australian TV is scheduled now. A Nine drama scheduled off the back of MAFS would have far more chance of success than anything they did weekly. Seven should at least give it a try with one the UK shows they acquire (they seem to get most ITV shows).

Different time zones.
Not coming backā¦
Why not air a pre-game?
On the main channel?
Having both AFL and NRL wouldnāt be profitable
Why?
They donāt make profits. They lift the big tentpole shows which make the money. If you have too much sport and no other shows then you have nothing that will make the money. They would need to get viewed to pay a premium for their content or try and team up with a streamer.

Keeping in mind that Old Peopleās Home For 4 Year Olds only has one episode left (so itās not worth upsetting the viewers of that show) with the following Tuesday being Federal Budget night, hereās an idea for the week beginning May 16 on ABC-TV:
Monday & Wednesday - unchanged.
Tuesday May 18
8pm: Anhās Brush With Fame
8.30pm: Q&A
Thursday May 20
8pm: Back Roads
8.30pm: Love On The Spectrum
With Gogglebox off-air for a few months, I think Love On The Spectrum would be a decent point of difference to what the other channels are offering on Thursday nights. Also considerably reduces the opportunities for a commercial network to schedule one of their manufactured dating, relationship or wedding-themed programs up against the ABCās, which is closer in form to a short series of documentaries.
