Ten Network - Programs and Schedules

Your comment is very general some people can’t go outdoors for numerous reasons. Take into consideration numerous people with mental health issues, the elderly etc .

I agree with the sentiment Ten has had enough time to fix their summer schedule they haven’t done so. Problem is Ten is Hemeraging money which makes it impossible to get any decent programming back on any of their crap channels.

I genuinely believe the only answer is sport. They need sport.

It’ll take a while but they need AFL back. Would be a good start and would give them momentum leading into summer.

I don’t think sport is necessary the answer to fill the complete schedule but yes they need sport to fill half the schedule problem is what can they get ? AFL , nrl and cricket are taken. They have only the shit pile to pick from.

I am not sure about this one to be honest. Only because there is an obviously dislike for singing competitions at the moment.

The elderly aren’t in Ten’s target demo.

Very few animated shows are broadcast live as it’s a terrible strain on the animators’ wrists.

To be fair, the elderly will soon be just about the only people (aside from us enthusiasts, of course) watching terrestrial TV though, as Ten’s target demographic is probably more likely to watch Netflix and YouTube in 2019.

But don’t the elderly just catch up with other elderly people and play bingo and knit??

At this rate they’ll need to do that again in 18 months considering what a spectacular failure it has been so far. Wouldn’t be the first time. Let’s see if “10 TV with a twist” lasts longer than “10 TV Australia”.

Agreed the elderly aren’t the target.

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.

  1. 10 Lost rights to BBL.
  2. All they have during the Xmas and New Year Period is nothing but having the project show on every weeknights. The ratings fail to crack top 20.
  3. Having game of games during non-ratings period. People are getting bored of the repeats over and over again.

Thank you.

I don’t understand why this thread continues to go in circles even after the CBS buyout.

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.
