Their final weekly show will be aired on the 3rd.
At least there are no newsroom losses. Youâd rather sales staff lose jobs than journalists. Makes sense these back office roles are consolidated to Melbourne.
What an odd thing to say. A job is a job.
No job is good to lose but in media we donât want journalists losing as it will reduce diversity in voices across different media outlets.
CNN is reporting that Paramount has emerged victorious in the months long battle for Warnerâs Brothers Discovery after Netflix backed out of the bidding war, leaving Paramount poised to acquire WBDâs vast media empire, including CNN.
Huge news for Paramount and 10.
What, to both go under in a few years?
Itâs either the best thing to happen to 10 (Iâll believe it when I see it) or itâs going to get flicked off again soon.

There are women on your screen every day, delivering the news, calling the game, telling the stories that matter. But what does it really take to do that work, and what does it mean to do it as a woman?
To celebrate the 115th anniversary of International Womenâs Day, some of 10âs most trusted voices across news, sport and entertainment sat down together for an honest, wide-ranging conversation about life at the forefront of Australian media.
They spoke about the confidence it takes to show up, the responsibility that comes with being seen, and the quiet but powerful ways they use their platforms for good. They reflected on the moments that shaped them, the advice they carry with them, and the questions they wish would stop following them through the door.
As Australiaâs only commercial network with women leading its news operation at a national level, 10 is proud to amplify these voices â not just on screen, but in the conversations that matter most.
Split over two conversations, Brianna Parkins first interviews Sandra Sully, Amelia Brace, Natalie Forrest and Georgie Tunny.
Then Brianna spoke with Tara Rushton, Angela Bishop, Sharyn Ghidella and Ursula Heger.
