Can you blame them? Don’t think it’s the worst decision.
I really doubt anyone is tuning in for the 8-10am part of the broadcast (even though 10 promoted coverage starting from 8am) and as I mentioned not worth the additional expenditure to do an OB today.
The actual coverage itself is just as good as previous years, so they’re not compromising anything in terms of quality there.
I think it’s pretty consistent with most broadcasters walking away from any deal.
It’s also pretty consistent with the attitude toward the cup in general, the interest was notably lower this year. It makes sense to me not to dedicate the broadcast to it this year…
Barry du Bois co hosting? Has he been in that role before?
Yes. He has.
Yes including Tuesday.
Anytime Jess is on Tristan is off
So the flowers aren’t just for Melb Cup? Reminds me of Mornings with Kerri-Anne. But don’t mind it
Umm… 6 days ago…
That’s a lot of stools…from the staff canteen?
And again back to two presenters, suppose they think these two alone are good enough to carry the show.
It is 10x more watchable with literally any other hosting line-up.
Wheres jess?
More theories, they obv don’t have fill-in’s on every day - not just while Tristan is off.
The show has reportedly been axed, last show 22/12.
Who’s saying this?
Who’s “reporting” this?

TV Blackbox has learned that Channel 10’s morning program Studio 10–first created and executive produced by Rob McKnight–has been axed.
The final show will air Friday 22 December.
The 10 Network have been contacted for comment. This post updates.
A 10 spokesperson said, “Studio 10 has been a great contributor to Network 10’s daytime program lineup. We would like to sincerely thank all those who have participated in and supported the program over the past decade and to the millions of viewers who tuned in over that time.
“It has been a show that has provided copious amounts of feelgood fun, joy, passion, heart, entertainment, and unforgettable moments all against the backdrop of live television.
“Although we are sad to be farewelling the program, the decision to cease production of Studio 10 comes after a change in viewing habits in daytime television. In 2024 there will be a new morning lineup with an increased focus on news and current affairs later in the day.”
The morning line-up ito replace the show is understood to comprise Australian content and repeats.
A small number of staff will be impacted but others will be redeployed across 10 News department.
“The hosts of Studio 10 – Angela Bishop, Narelda Jacobs and Tristan MacManus, with special roving reporter Daniel Doody – will remain with the network in different roles and many of the staff will be redeployed.”
Studio 10 launched in November 2013 with a hosts Sarah Harris, Ita Buttrose, Joe Hildebrand, Jessica Rowe, the only morning show with a Live studio audience, largely until the pandemic impacted.
Amongst its family of contributing talent were regulars Denise Drysdale, who still appears regularly, the late Jonathan Coleman, Craig Bennett, David Robinson, Denise Scott, Kerri-Anne Kennerley, Natarsha Belling, Denise Scott, Jess Eva, Scott Tweedie and Jesse Baird.
More recently its numbers have fallen making its advertorials less lucrative.
Studio 10 recently celebrated its 10th anniversary.
The last episode will air on Friday, December 22.
Studio 10 has been axed after 10 years. They all worked hard on that show and delivered a good product - styled to be different to the others. But realistically the audience didn’t grow despite various changes. There is no joy in seeing any local show chopped.
