You believe all propaganda Newscorp feed ypu? You should try making your own mind up.
With the drop-in-drop-out nature of morning telly, itâs a fair point to question if presenters need to be mentioned or not.
On the flip side of that discussion though, if youâre watching all the way through, it could get irritating pretty quickly.
Itâs not propaganda, itâs fact. Studio 10 is consistently beaten by The Morning Show and Today Extra. They axed half their line up of journalists and experienced television presenters and replaced them with a dancer. Need I say more?
Long suffering is a subjective term, for all we might know 10 are satisfied with it as it stands right now just like how they tolerated Bull on Wednesdays for how many years now. News Corpâs view of Studio 10 is dying but thatâs just their view.
In fairness⌠I think that âlong sufferingâ would be most peopleâs view regardless of what News Corp said. The ratings are the metric that people use to gauge a showâs popularity and it certainly wasnât a good look to cut their lineup like they did. People outside the industry (who wouldnât be aware of the content quotas and advertorial revenue benefits) would absolutely think that Studio 10 is sub par these days.
We obviously know that the show is still financially viable or it wouldnât be on air - but it is certainly a shell of its former self.
So how does that make it âlong sufferingâ,? The show changed. Today Extra has had many changes in its format and had a variety of hosts presenting it. Does that make the show long suffering because theure still beayen by The Morning Show?
Studio 10 with five hosts (and the extra backups) was not sustainable considering the other shows do the same with two hosts. It had to change. But the team is not just two hosts anyway. Angela Bishop is in the studio or roving most days and they have a newsreader throughout the show. They also have Doody as a roving reporter. So not as slimmed down as you suggest.
The fact is, Newscorp have a longrunning vendetta with Ten over Murdochâs past ownership of the network and they never miss an opportunity to bag them
Iâd argue âlong sufferingâ suggests a dog with cancer that needs to be put down. Studio 10 is not that. Itâs somewhat entertaining on the odd times I watch when Iâm home from work. I find it better tonally than the other two. I like sarah and Angela is a really good entertainment editor. Itâs not the worst show on tv and doesnât take itself seriously.
The Australianâs media section is trash. Itâs not objective in anyway. Barely reports news. Itâs a mouthpiece for Murdoch to run campaigns against perceived enemies. The comments from readers have one ongoing refrain âwoke this woke thatâ and endless culture wars as the reason that ails this nation.
Arenât all these shows long suffering these days? Ratings are down for The Morning Show and Today Extra to what looks like their lowest ever. Viewers are finally tiring of advertorial morning programs.
FTA viewing across the board is on the decline, itâs not just limited to the morning shows. The shift towards a further fragmented viewing culture continues and very few, if any, FTA shows are weathering the change well.
People seem to forget that Larry Emdur on The Morning Show is a game show host and David Campbell on Today Extra is a singer. They are not journalists either.
Larry has a lot more experience in TV & News. Started at SMH then read the news. Whereas David Campbell started singing.
Wednesday 6 July-
Daniel Doody made his return to Studio 10 back on the Newsdesk this morning,he had been away filming The Real Love Boat.
When he reads the news he makes errors every single time. Never does a clean read.
I think his strength is definitely in reporting and roving reports.
In fairness, though Tash Exelby is very experienced sheâs similar - seems to make a fair few mistakes during her presenting too.
On thee show this morning
Werenât they suppose to be in Birdsville today or something?
When did they say that?
Narelda was in central Australia.
They were they crossed to their Qld roving reporter.
