Never got down to 10c but it was close. They recently did a 10:1 consolidation, probably to avoid the embarrassment of a share price of TEN cents.

Because people need another distraction to block my path in shopping centres. 
TEN closed at $1.07. after 5 consecutive days of 4%+ falls. tomorrow could be the day it drops below what used to be 10c.
Iâm going to call it: time to buy. if i was in a position to expand my portfolio a 99c bid would be a no-brainer.
To think i sold for $2.54_adjusted_ just 8 months ago.

It would be a good buy considering ten are already up on last year. Iâm wondering if some things are happening behind the scenes for such big drops.

The drops started after the last market update, which showed healthy growth. ten obviously over-promised to shareholders and anything short of an epic turnaround to become the #1 network was disappointment.
Iâd predict these drastic drops are still an overreaction tho.

Down another 6.5% today, trading at $1.01.
So if TEN shares were trading pre consolidation, it would actually be at 10c haha

Heh, I might have to buy a few for a laugh. 
At the moment Tenâs shares are at 9.8c which arenât good at all.
No theyâre at .95 after they consolidated their shares. Can see Ten going below 50 cents in a few months.
keeps going lower though
Conflicting reports today about negotiations between TEN and Southern Cross, ahead of media reform legislation.
Iâm assuming this is one reason why Ten HD for SC areas hasnât been planned yet.
Ha the launch of Ten HD only happened yesterday! It took a few months for Win to even mention they would be providing a HD feed.
Iâd give it a few months if not longer for SC.

##ten Network Holdingsâ First Half 2016 Financial Results.
TV Revenue Up 7.9%. TV EBITDA Up 35.8%.
Ten Network Holdings Limited (ASX: TEN) (âTENâ, âthe Companyâ) today announced its results for the six months to 29 February 2016. The results included:
- Television EBITDA of $10.1 million (2015: $7.5 million)
- Television revenue of $334.2 million (2015: $309.8 million)
- Television costs (ex-selling costs) increase of 6.6%

- Network Ten: commercial audience share in 25 to 54s of 28.7% so far in 2016; best result since 2012
- Revenue and revenue share growth via Multi Channel Network strategic arrangement
TEN Chief Executive Officer Paul Anderson said the strong growth in revenue and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) during the February half was driven by the Companyâs improved audience performance across all screens and the success of its advertising sales representation arrangement with Multi Channel Network Pty Ltd (âMCNâ).
Television revenue increased 7.9% compared with a 1.7% decline in the capital city free-to-air television advertising market during the period. TENâs share of the revenue market rose 2.5 percentage points to 23.4%, its highest level since the second half of the 2012 financial year.
âOur clear strategy of investing in fresh and innovative prime time content and expanding strategically our digital media business tenplay is producing encouraging results,â Mr Anderson said.
âTEN was the only free-to-air television company to increase its prime time audience in the 2015 ratings year. That trend continued across the 2015-16 summer, with Network Ten achieving its best ever summer audience among people 25 to 54 and its highest summer commercial share in total people since 2003-04.
âSince the start of 2016, the TEN channel has increased its prime time total people audience by 5.4% and Network Ten has recorded a commercial share of 28.7% in 25 to 54s, its best result since 2012,â he said.
During the six months to 29 February 2016, TEN completed the issuance of new ordinary shares to Foxtel Management Pty Limited as agent for the Foxtel Partnership (âFoxtelâ); completed a fully underwritten accelerated pro-rata renounceable entitlement offer of new ordinary shares; and became a 24.99% shareholder in MCN.
Mr Anderson said TENâs strategic arrangement with MCN, which took effect on 1 September 2015, had underpinned the Companyâs revenue and revenue share growth. âFebruary 2016 marked the 12th consecutive month in which TEN had increased its revenue and revenue share year-on-year,â he said.
âOur relationship with MCN is innovative and it is changing the way advertising is bought and sold in Australia. TEN and MCN are delivering brand-safe premium video across multiple platforms, in the world-class Landmark trading environment, with real and measurable data. That proposition is unparalleled in our market.â
TENâs audience and revenue growth during the six months to 29 February 2016 was driven by key domestic properties such as The Bachelorette Australia, Bathurst 1000, Mary: The Making Of A Princess, The Great Australian Spelling Bee, Gogglebox Australia, KFC Big Bash League, Iâm A Celebrity⌠Get Me Out Of Here!, All Star Family Feud and Long Lost Family.
During the six-month period, TENâs industry-leading online catch up and streaming service tenplay recorded a 30.4% increase in video segment views and a 34.5% increase in video unique visitors. The number of tenplay app downloads increased 13%, to 2.53 million.
Network Ten today announced that Executive General Manager, Sydney, Louise Barrett, has decided to leave the company, effective 30 June.
Ms Barrett has held her current role since September 2015. She joined Network Ten in March 2013 as Chief Sales Officer.
Network Ten Chief Executive Officer, Paul Anderson, said: âLouise has made an enormously valuable and important contribution to our business over the past three years, culminating in the innovative partnership with Multi Channel Network [âMCNâ], a partnership that has transformed the way television advertising air-time is sold in Australia.

I am not sure where to put this but this is in the AFR.
Street Talk understands Telstra and News - and their litany of advisers - have spent some time considering whether it made sense for the much smaller Ten to acquire Foxtel and Fox Sports in a reverse takeover.
