Saving Ten

News of course.

(I’m bored at uni)

Well you aren’t catering for the female or gay audience. What about airing your dad during that hour?

I’m offended you went for my dad instead of me myself.

You have too much attitude for me :stuck_out_tongue:

You said you wanted the gays…

It’s a pity the networks don’t run the test card anymore. An image of you in one of your infamous knitted jumpers would be perfect for that. It may even rate better than Family Feud as a half hour of stand alone programming on Ten.

I do just the ones that don’t have as much attitude as you :stuck_out_tongue: And I still haven’t seen you grindr.

yeah like theres no competition for breakfast. I hate this argument.

agree on both counts. A Rove show is needed, and CBS would want to beef up Ten News on screen hours and LOCAL news after primetime/late primetime would be a great addition. Use the same teams, have reporters do daytime updates instead. Local @ 5 & 9.30 - Ten Eyewitness News.

I think Ten should air the Late News again, instead of airing The Project repeats. I’d air the Late News at around 11. And have Sport Tonight air afterwards. Should surely rate better than the Project repeats? It might help boost Ten’s later shares…

Surely its time to get rid of Family Feud? Its been rating dreadful lately…

In place of Family Feud I would air Sports Tonight or something like that

Too late. Australians aren’t up that late in large enough numbers.

ABC and SBS air it that late. Ten News used to air it past 10.30 back in its hey day too. Since ratings is 6pm - midnight, then at least it might boost Ten’s ratings share in that 11pm slot. Anything better than repeats in that slot (like The Project and old drama repeats too).

Too late for critical mass. Ten doesn’t have the luxury of either public funding or a large audience between 7:30 and 11pm to justify News that late. It’d sink without a trace.

Yes, because both have little to no interest in how those bulletins perform commercially.

The fact that free-to-air commercial networks have vacated late night news is quite telling. There isn’t a big enough audience post-10pm for any sort of sustainable news program.

Nah, her anecdotes are long winded and are mainly about people I’ve never met

Close the station.
This isn’t like the past when the only channels were ABC, 7, 9, 10 and SBS, when SVOD services were non-existent and there were fewer ways to view content overall.

We don’t “need” a third commercial free to air network anymore.

All commercial networks, not just Ten, have killed off any chance of anything post 9.30 getting an audience. Even 8.30 is becoming a stretch for them now all because of reality shows screwing up timeslots. People tune out once the reality shows are done

What a stupid thing to say. Why can’t we have more choices? Ten doesn’t have to be the same as Seven and Nine. Ten does well in demographics which attract advertisers. As long as they can attract advertisers, they stay in business.

My idea would include:

  • 9:30 news bulletin
  • Saturday Project
  • Programs to start on the half hour and finish on the half hour (unless a 30 minute program).
  • No program to run past advertised scheduling time
  • 2 more damas to be commissioned - not to be drama/comedy based around a family.
  • A Chat Show to anchor the week on Sundays.
  • Ten to continue with reality acquisitions, but as noted before to only air for 1 hour each night (even if that means Bach in Paradise becomes 3 nights a week).
  • 48 Hours Australia hosted by Waleed Aly and Hugh Rimington to air Wednesdays 8:30 and replayed at some point on ONE.
