Still hosted by Sarah Harris? Same Sharks? I would like to see Gerry Harvey on there
One of the most hated men in Australia right now? I doubt it.

Interesting article, not much new there other than actual confirmation of Amazing Race returning after the expression of interest going out following the last season.
Obviously not a comprehensive list but no mention of Shark Tank, Dessert Masters, Dogs Behaving (Very) Badly or Location, Location, Location and void of any upcoming drama mentions as usual.

Probably one of the better second half line-up’s we’ve seen from 10 in some time.
Nice to see a good amount of drama listed, they’ve typically omitted or overlooked this genre from these sort of market comms.

Yes I’d agree there’s some actually depth in that second half line up and some broad skewing content in a variety of genres.
If only they could fix their news department and get a largr sports rights deal then they could navigate their way through the next few years with some confidence. But without those two pillars to provide content they’re always going to look a bit shaky.
Unfortunate but true. IMO the rest of 10 programming is superior to 7 and 9 but those channels get the viewers with their superior news services and sport. And it’s the old ctach 22, 10 can’t get topline sport because of this. It is my commercial channel of choice, rarely watch 7 or 9!

Who is hosting Shark Tank this year?
Didn’t they get rid of the host in the last season? I think they just go with a voice over now, could be anyone.
First look at The Inspired Unemployed (Impractical) Jokers aired tonight during MasterChef Australia finale, as part of a new promo for 10’s programs for the rest of 2023.
