So that’s why 10 & Paramount were waiting.
Makes sense and is a good hook to get people to attend

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. 
It does, a huge gamble on Big Brother succeeding though.

Originally, Paramount layoffs were expected to begin in early November, with 2,500-3,000 positions impacted. We understand that for stateside employees that number could be around 2,000, with overseas cost savings still being calculated.

The one where ratings performance, and to a slightly lesser extent ad revenue, aren’t listed as key skills.

Job cuts primarily in the US but some cuts in international operations also coming.

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.

While Paramount undergoes major layoffs across its US operations, staff at Channel 10 have been told the Australian network will remain largely untouched by the restructuring.
Network sources tell TV Blackbox that employees at the local broadcaster were reassured today that no significant changes are planned, despite widespread job losses overseas.

Ten is already being run on the smell of an oily rag. They can’t possibly cut more staff and keep the network running.

Ten boss says partnerships and consolidation crucial to survival in era of streaming services
Network Ten’s president Beverley McGarvey says Australian media companies will need to be increasingly open to consolidation and industry partnerships if they are to survive in the streaming era.
Ms McGarvey, who is also the head of streaming and the regional lead of Ten’s parent company, Paramount Australia, says the one-time “youth network” is willing to “collaborate with other broadcast partners, with tech partners, with content partners, with commercial partners, with brands”.
Ms McGarvey pointed to the recent partnership between Paramount Australia and LG Electronics, which allows LG Smart TV owners to watch live and scheduled content from 10’s main channel, as well as 10 Drama, 10 Comedy and Nickelodeon, via an IP address and without the need to plug in a terrestrial aerial.
The Ten boss suggested that the network would be announcing further partnerships “in that space” in coming months.
Asked about her future at Ten, amid media speculation that she might be interested in the vacant managing director position at SBS, Ms McGarvey said: “I like the job that I have now. I don’t know what the future looks like, but right now I am very happy here.”
