Good to see that Ten have appointed/are appointing sales directors for each metropolitan market.

Hopefully this may eventually result in local initiatives which will get the communities of all five capital cities building a stronger connection towards Network Ten, something they’ve been lagging behind Seven and Nine in for quite some time.

And good to see they’re employing general managers of the markets as well. Hopefully some unique localism can creep in.

I get the feeling that that report wasn’t aired on broadcast TV. It’s the most long-winded and wordy read I’ve ever heard from Sandra.

It also opened its commissioning headspace to the audience, with a “pilot week” from which at least three shows will be green lit, network programmer Beverley McGarvey confirms.

A former Seven digital sales ­director is in the middle of a legal tussle between Seven and TEN networks.

The Australian reports Lisa Squillace, who has been hired by TEN to become network sales director, is fighting the non-compete period that would stop her joining before June 25. Her three months’ ­notice from Seven ends on December 26.

Also, this thread should probabaly be renamed ‘Ten Network Pty Ltd’ as it’s not longer called Ten Network Holdings.
