Yes and no. Most national clients and advertisers are based in Sydney or Melbourne. Might be expensive flying everyone in to showcase 10 News + for 2026. 😉 ---

I’m sure there will be some worried executives and others at Pyrmont. It’s not just 10 that will be affected by the job cuts, all divisions of Paramount that operate in Australia (including Paramount Pictures distribution and Paramount+ ) will also be hit. The timing of job cuts is not ideal with 10’s upfronts just a week away. I reckon some executives may not even make it to Dreamworld. ---
