I don’t think they should do anything with Ten News at 5:00pm. There is the The Project 6:30 problem. It may be better as a half-hour local news, like the old Ten Evening News. Or an hour news from 6.
As it is now (and indeed, has been the case in places like Sydney for decades), there are people who aren’t home in time to watch the 6pm bulletins in full due to increasing problems with traffic congestion and public transport in the major metropolitan markets.
With some decent external promotion like having billboards at bus/train stations, I reckon a fast paced metro-centric half hour news bulletin at 6.30pm or 7pm (which of course WIN could opt out of to do their own local news bulletins) leading into primetime might work well.
Arguably Ten has never recovered from messing around with the timeslot of their weekend news during the ill-fated 2011 “News Revolution” with both Nine and Seven having since introduced weekend 5pm bulletins.
If Ten were to completely exit the 5pm news market on weeknights, you’d have to imagine that Seven and/or Nine would almost instantly turn their (currently) local 4pm bulletins into 5pm local bulletins!
“Ah, a notification from the Saving Ten thread! I bet they’re finally past changing The Project while it continues to rate well in its core demographics.”
Move on, already.

Would it help to not have TBA’s regularly in the schedule?
I mean, it’s a small thing in the grand scheme but, personally, it irks me.

I am really surprised that the Good Morning Australia brand has never been revisited.
Such a strong brand and well remembered in both its breakfast and Bert versions.
A re-imagined GMA breastfast show with a fresh 2018 vibe, perhaps hosted by a Hugh R / Sarah H types. With this look
They’ve done that twice now, as Wake Up and Breakfast. OK it wasn’t called Good Morning Australia but they were both new breakfast shows that promised something “fresh”. Given their performance there clearly is not a market for another breakfast show or any desire in the marketplace for an alternative to whatever else is available.
Given the steep decline of Sunrise, and to a lesser extent, Today, a basic no frills news bulletin is all they need.

Ten News Rush Hour Edition from 6:30-8:30am might work. Rolling 30 minute news bulletins with headlines every 15 minutes.
That’s what they said about “Fox and Friends”, until it started beating the network shows.
Does Jackie Chan Co host with Chris Tucker?

I think Ten have been burned too many times to risk trying a third time
Didn’t it take CBS a number of attempts at a breakfast show before finding something that was even a little competitive in CBS This Morning? Sure it won’t outrate GMA or Today, but it’s found an audience and most be a profitable exercise & offer a point of difference to the others.
If all else fails…just run one of these until Studio 10 comes on.

Then why haven’t Sky or the ABC or even SBS taken off in the mornings then?
I’ll admit: none of them are a straight news service. Sky is limited in availablity and Breakfast can be very dull at times. Perhaps Ten could do early news, but it would have to be well resourced and bang on-target.
“Give us 15 minutes, we’ll give you the world” kinda formula. 10 minutes of news, 2 minutes sport, 1 minute weather, 2 minute ad break, then rinse and repeat.
How did good morning Australia with bert go?
Aren’t News Breakfast’s numbers rising each and every year with absolutely no promotion or marketing? I’d say their rise from a little watched program on ABC2 to one that pulls in decent numbers is a sign there is an audience for harder news in the morning.

In what sense?
It wasn’t newsy, only had crosses to the morning news room. It was very profitable with advertorials.
Ratings wise?
I’d defer to others around here, but I do recall Mornings with Kerrie-Anne knocking it off.
