The fact she has been promoted here suggests Viacom has every confidence in what she is doing despite the monthly calls for her head here.

Variety says she oversees channels in 33 countries from London

Will be hard for her to be involved in day to day decisions at 10 with that portfolio

Perhaps just oversee major commissions and major expenditures

Yes via the two co-leads out here for Aus/NZ.

Great interview with Anderson explaining his decision to quit 10.

I don’t really get the McGarvey bashing sometimes… it’s not as if she’s had huge budgets to work from, and a wealth of quality programs to choose from. She’s also put up with a number of different CEO’s, each with a different direction for the company and their own ideas on where programming should go. She wasn’t responsible for “Everybody Dance Now”, for example.

Sometimes I think that she, and the rest of 10’s programming team, have done the well with the platter of crap they’ve been handed.

Everyone loves to be critical. I think she has done a fine job with what she has to work with. The only thing I would like to see her work on, and I’m not even if it’s her, but it’s exploring new and fresh talent and ideas. I think her issue in the last 3 years is relying on older talent and older formats. I’ve also heard from people who work at 10 that some ideas are just thrown aside and they expect yes people. However that could have all changed and they might have listened to feedback. I also worry that they have poached too many people on one side of politics. A friend of mine got a job on a show on 10 as a producer after previously working on the ABC.

what does the 2nd sentence have to do with the first? Also what’s to back up the first sentence?

:joy: what on earth? Maybe they were the best candidate and the new employer recognised the ABC is the preeminent broadcaster in the country? Glad we’re not mates with small world views like that.

Of course he was the best candidate. That’s not my point at all. And in my opinion the show he is on is a lot better than it was 12 months ago. My point is that there has been a. Few appointments with left winged minded views. Personally it is why I watch more 10 than any network.

2298

Yeah, but on the basis of suggesting working at the ABC previously is of its own an indication of left wing views.

Chris Uhlmann used to work for the ABC, it’s not like he’s flooding Nine with left wing views…

Yeah true. I probably shouldn’t have linked the two together. That was my bad. I just know the person and I know his views.

ViacomCBS Networks Australia launches #InThisTogether, #AloneTogether and #KidsTogether

ViacomCBS Network International’s Australian free-to-air and subscription brands, led by Network 10, MTV and Nickelodeon, today launched their ’Together’ campaigns which focus on sharing health, safety and well-being messages during COVID-19.

Creative executions of the campaigns include:

  • Self-shot videos and live takeovers from celebrity and music talent across the brands.
  • Daily engagement through series’ social accounts, encouraging conversation and among fans.
  • Original content, including animated and graphics-based, focused on health and social distancing.

ViacomCBS Australia and New Zealand chief content officer and EVP, Beverley McGarvey, said: “Our brands reach and influence many, many Australians every day. In times like these, we have a clear duty to help however we can. The ‘Together’ campaigns are part of our contribution to educating and helping Australians during these uncertain times.

“Now is the time for every person and every business – in Australia and around the world – to work together and help each other.”

Network 10’s #InThisTogether aligns with a similar campaign launched by CBS in the United States which features network talent recording videos, some from their own homes, providing reassurance and promoting togetherness during COVID-19. Talent featured in the promo include Carrie Bickmore, Lisa Wilkinson, Jonathan LaPaglia, Osher Günsberg, Miguel Maestre and Sarah Harris.

MTV’s #AloneTogether is a global social and talent led campaign that educates audiences on the importance of social distancing and drives unity through entertainment. A focus on mental health is a vital part of the effort, underscoring that social distancing does not mean social isolation.

Nickelodeon’s #KidsTogether is a multiplatform, global prosocial initiative using Nickelodeon’s most popular characters and talent – including SpongeBob SquarePants , Blue’s Clues & You!, Henry Danger, and Bubble Guppies - to engage with kids and families on tips for staying healthy, and also ideas for activities to do together while in the home during the COVID-19 outbreak with elements aggregated for easy access on a central online destination at nick.com.au/kidstogether.

The #AloneTogether campaign, which was developed by ViacomCBS Entertainment & Youth brands in partnership with the The Ad Council in the U.S., has also been tailored and supported by Pluto TV in markets around the world, and CBS and CBS All-Access, Awesomeness, and Showtime in the U.S.

ViacomCBS Networks International’s Entertainment & Youth Brands are also developing #AloneTogether content to be shared collectively to their more than 500 million social followers, communicating the public health message through their distinct brand voices. Further details on MTV Australia’s #AloneTogether content will be announced soon.
