The exact same spot (along with others featuring Sarah Harris + Toasted TV & The Loop presenters when those two shows were still running) had been running on 10 Peach during children’s programming for quite some time, if I’m not mistaken.
Networks still have to be a sustainable business, and a second-tier TV channel is probably way down the list of essential resources for rural areas.
WIN’s problem is clearly, though, with carrying children’s programming which is now on 10 Shake. WIN needs to sort this out if they’re not in a position to carry the full channel.
Another important service I think I saw this morning on 10Shake was an ad for is one of those tarot card reading services. Yes, in the morning, during the kids programming block too.
If it’s a federal issue in Victoria that is being decided by the federal government then ringing the NSW senator is valid. Complaining to Ten that their affiliate is not up to scratch is also valid.
WIN have a social media presence? This shows that people hardly know the difference (having basically the same branding across metro and regional doesnt help either)
Of course WIN could change the line up of 10 Peach or Bold to accommodate some 10 Shake programs but these 2 channels do fairly well for WIN.
Commercial mutichannels tend to rate higher in regional areas than the 5 city metro. I guess because there is lower uptake of Foxtel. 10Bold is particularly popular and often outrates SBS’s main channel. In the key demos 10Bold and 10 Peach also do very well - outraing SBS’s whole network on occasion.
