Agree. 10 trying to boost Deal. Knowing that people will tune into HYBPA at 8.30, to see Gold Logie winner Sam Pang. Perhaps?
Saw that in the EPG, either there was a trailer or something in there to bump the times or the episode had extra content.
Extra ads can’t just be placed at random, there are non-program limits.
The Traitors teaser?

With four episodes left of The Traitors remaining from next week, I wonder what will replace the show from mid September? Big Brother is not quite ready yet.
More repeats of Dog House Australia and Love It or List It, of course. lol.
But am hoping 10 has something mor interesting than that, before Big Brother starts.
They will just replicate Thursday/Friday/Saturday and start with a new episode of Rpt at 6:30pm, followed by an Rpt double bill, then a special presentation of Encore, followed by a repeat of Rpt earlier in the evening

So there is no other stripped reality franchise until late October?
Shaun Micallef’s Parents’ Evening promoted for September
I expect Parents’ Meeting to be once per week. So 10 will need another new show.

10 are also short a show on Sundays. They’ve got gogglebox for an hour then just American procedurals. How ridiculous! Their primetime is a shambles. They simply just don’t have enough content.

10: “I have to go out to pick up something for Sunday nights.”
cmo: “Original programming?”
10: “Money’s too tight for original programming.”

It really is a concern that they have very limited programming for September and October. Yes, they opt to broadcast Big Bother in November?
I’m thinking the original plan was for The Amazing Race to bridge the gap between The Traitors and Big Brother but then they changed their mind and axed it earlier this year. Still no excuse though. They’ve had a lot of time to find a replacement.
I think it’s more budget issues.
Clearly Paramount are tightening things up.
A key message reported widely from Ten (Beverley McGarvey) since 2018 is a consistent 50 week program slate…..I think we got 1 year with 48 weeks ( I might be being generous)
How does someone remain employed when continually making these comments without deliverying? Imagine how long a small business would survive if this was the case.
A quick summary with the assistance of Gemini to find these references below.
- Mumbrella — 5 August 2018
Context: Ten’s strategy after losing Big Bash cricket.
Key quote: “a full domestic entertainment schedule 50 weeks a year.”
- TV Tonight — multiple interviews (2016–2023)
McGarvey frequently discussed minimising gaps, avoiding long summer breaks, and keeping momentum.
• “We don’t want to be off-air for long stretches.”
• “Consistency is key — audiences expect fresh content.”
• “We aim to keep our big franchises running as close to year‑round as possible.”
- Mediaweek — Upfronts coverage (2017–2022)
McGarvey often talked about:
• “reducing the summer slump,”
• “keeping audiences engaged across the calendar,”
• “building a consistent entertainment spine.”
4. Network 10 Upfronts (2019, 2020, 2021)
McGarvey repeatedly highlighted:
• “year‑round entertainment,”
• “a consistent slate,”
• “no long breaks between tentpoles.”
These upfronts were where she most clearly articulated the philosophy behind the 50‑week comment.
5.Post‑Paramount acquisition commentary (2020–2023)
In interviews about Ten’s integration with Paramount Global, she spoke about:
• “building a 12‑month entertainment ecosystem,”
• “keeping audiences engaged across linear and digital,”
• “ensuring continuity between broadcast and streaming.”
a few frequent themes:
• Year‑round entertainment
• Minimising off‑air periods
• Reducing summer gaps
• Continuous programming flow
• Competing across the full calendar
• Moving beyond the traditional 48‑week survey model
September 15 it’ll air.

Hot Seat finishing at 7.36pm again tonight (not sure of Deal’s finishing time). Must be a new Monday strategy.
