Well I was making a point yes I agree the elderly isn’t the target for ten.
But you see my point right. I’m sure the demo is between 18 and 49.
They are competing with the likes of Netflix, Stan and YouTube and other on demand services which offer far more better content. Ten cannot compensate for that.
I thought it was between 25 and 54.
Ten have said they are going back to targeting younger demos again.
Can’t we all agree that 10 is in dire strait in terms of programming ATM? I get it that they rely heavily on BBL in the past but so far their promise of 50 weeks of ‘Premium Programming’ is anything but. Every program they’ve been airing in Summer is unwatchable and no wonder their shares and revenues are going down the drain. Heck, I don’t even think most of their programs are worth watching for more than 50 days, let alone weeks.
It’s arguable that despite CBS ownership, 10’s programming has become far worse and that they’re in a worse shape before CBS ownership and are lagging further behind Seven and Nine.
Yep, I agree. If 2019 is another dire year in the ratings for Ten 10, surely the big wigs from CBS in New York will have to push for major managerial changes to be made in Sydney?
I feel like this thread is on repeat every few months or is it weeks? The same people just saying the same things. Can we just comment on the programs and schedules? Move on, people.
Someone needs a kick up the butt. If 10 wont survive in 2019 during primetime, then Beverley McGarvey will more likely get the sack and Paul Anderson will resign in late 2019. They literally just turn things from bad to worse.
Thank you.
I don’t understand why this thread continues to go in circles even after the CBS buyout.
I think everyone wants to see ten get back in the game 
I don’t understand why people would want to see them fail. We’d end up with a total monopoly of Seven and Nine and that would just be boring.
It’s basically that now. 
See, here’s the thing. I personally don’t want to see Network Ten to fail. Having three successful commercial television networks is good for viewers, good for the industry and to some extent, even good for Australian democracy (when it comes to things like news coverage, etc.). I’m also sure there are many people at Ten who do good things both in front of the camera & behind the scenes.
But upper level management deserve to be criticised. From what I can tell, they seem to be the ones who’ve continued to make ridiculous, money wasting decisions in recent years to the detriment of Ten which likely either would’ve died or become a WIN or News Corp entity if CBS didn’t become the network’s knight in shining armour!
Boring? I personally would’ve said dangerously uncompetitive, similar to what the supermarket landscape is (or at least was until the relatively recent rise of Aldi as a major player) like with Coles & Woolworths.
Anyway, since this thread is supposed to be about the programming/scheduling of Network Ten I personally wouldn’t say their Summer programming lineup has been particularly appealing and although they’re to be commended for airing I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! a few weeks earlier than usual, I still think it’ll probably struggle against the cricket & tennis.
I mean, just last night they re-ran Happy Feet and the most recent main channel airing prior to that was only in September! 
I chuckle each time I read this thread. Ya’ll expect the magic bullet, 9 months after they lost the cricket, losing the entire December, January and February schedule…
The 50 weeks of programming starts Jan 13, not in the middle of Christmas/New Year down time when hardly anyone is around.
And you can not compare 10 of 2011 - mid 2017 with 10 of end 2017 - now… as there are two very different business models in play.
Good television is very rarely launched with less than a year of the initial concept, so from Jan 13 it’ll be very interesting whether viewers will resonate.
And the final piece of the puzzle to this endless circle is you coming in and defending 10.
From Jan 13, which is I’m a Celeb, has been on for a few years now so we kinda know how it’ll resonate…
Unless they have other surprises from Jan 13 that we don’t know about, it’ll be same old 10.
Since it went mainstream into stores the infomercials seem to have vanished, similar to the George Foreman Grill, so I’m not expecting any Magic Bullet shows on Ten’s SpreeTV.
I’m not convinced anything that was revealed at Ten’s upfronts will be the magic bullet, or even the magic BB gun pellet, that will save them. I suspect they’ll be shooting blanks throughout 2019. I don’t expect anything to change until there’s a clean out on the scale of the bloodbath currently taking place at Today. Sorry if that sounds harsh or overly dramatic but I don’t have any confidence in the ability of the current team to lift Ten out of the doldrums based on what they’ve delivered since CBS took over.
Duopoly
dont think I did any defending there, unless you’re placing bias on my post based on my other posts on this forum.
All I’m saying is that many on this forum seem to have these great expectations from Ten,
a) over Christmas,
b) less than 10 months after they lost their entire summer prime time schedule.
Your missing the point entirely.
No one is talking about loosing the cricket, we are talking about the network as a whole.
I’m just curious that if we have the same conversation at the end of 2019 what excuses you’ll have then?
The network is a failure. Hasn’t changed at all since the new owners. Same old, same old.
That’s it from me on the subject. The numbers speak for themselves.
43 BBL/12 WBBL games was their entire summer schedule? Ouch.
