I’m guessing that Ten selling their share under compulsion must have been finalised.
Guess it’s out now, so I can talk about it, phew.
Disgusting move really, since 10 instigated the origination of TxA.
It was pure greed from 7, they saw a way to make big $ out of TEN, but didn’t foresee CBS taking it over.
7 talked 9 into joining them, it was a 7 instigation, that will probably bite them back, big time now.

A smooth transition for 10’s transmission
Network 10 and Broadcast Australia have today announced a new agreement for the transmission of Network 10’s free-to-air broadcast channels: 10, 10 Bold, and 10 Peach.
Transition of 10’s transmission services to Broadcast Australia from TX Australia will start immediately. The comprehensive transition plan will ensure a seamless transition of 10’s services to Broadcast Australia. There will be no disruption of 10’s services for viewers through this process.
Network 10’s chief operating officer Annabelle Herd said: “We’re very happy to be moving into the future with Broadcast Australia. This new agreement secures our transmission with an experienced and trusted partner dedicated to excellence and innovation. Like 10, Broadcast Australia is passionate about connecting people with great content and we look forward to developing our free-to-air terrestrial platform in partnership with them over the coming years.”
Broadcast Australia’s chief executive Peter Lambourne said: “At Broadcast Australia, we are honoured to be the transmission services provider of choice for Network 10. This partnership presents exciting opportunities for both organisations and ensures certainty of service, continuity and reliability for Australian audiences. This collaboration celebrates our shared commitment to connect all Australians and enrich our communities with information, entertainment and services. We are excited to embark on this journey with Network 10, one of Australia’s leading broadcasters.”

From MediaWeek this morning:
“We are doing The Masked Singer , which is different, a bit crazy and a proper original. The other thing, a franchise I can’t talk about yet, will be huge for us too. We are finalising the contract at present.”
“One of them is new, one of them is a bit more familiar.”
Also, 10’s new sales tagline is “Get up close to the new TV, get up close to 10”. whatever that means.

10 are definitely doing some good things with their commissions lately, still struggling for the eyeballs though.
I wonder what the mystery franchise is… i’d hope for an Amazing Race I think that would be suited well to 10.
They really are making a lot of content. More Australian product than ever before. Their first half was pretty skinny and poorly scheduled and marketed. Who knows where they will go now but at least there’s a lot of variety in the content.

the only way is up. but they need more presenters and more marketing outside of the linear broadcast.

They just need more eyes, they are producing good stuff but not enough people are watching still.

Loving the black 10 with rainbow edge. There’s a sexiness to it, but versatile.

The mystery franchise, return of Big Brother Australia ?
The other thing, a franchise I can’t talk about yet, will be huge for us too. We are finalising the contract at present.”
It then says :
She thinks the strong end to the year will see these two new 10 arrivals work well together. “One of them is new, one of them is a bit more familiar.”
Australian Idol ? Big Brother?
She said “Much of the US CBS drama content goes straight to 10 Bold now” but you still see it on the main channel?

Surely they won’t be touching Australian Idol if they already have Masked Singer.

Ten must be the most environmentally conscious business in Australia. They recycle everything. I suspect Bev is a paid up member of the Australian Greens.

I’m not convinced its Big Brother. I think it will be The Amazing Race.
the house caught fire the other night. it’s stuffed. they could rebuild it from scratch though
