I have to agree, I thought maybe because I’m getting older, but there isn’t anything catching the public eye at the moment. Its the same programming every year.
Part from News, Sport, or the odd TV show on the ABC, I’ve losing interest in free to air, I’m constanly streaming shows off Netflix.
Through our smart TV, we now have a combination of FTA, Netflix, iTunes, Stan and Foxtel Play (app). Perhaps FTA edging out everything on a day-to-day basis early evening and Netflix & iTunes used mostly post 8.30. Foxtel really only for special event award shows or breaking news.
For live and local you still can’t beat FTA.
Hence why ten need more news and sport to actually remain relevant as a free to air network.
Again I have to agree (Local News is still king on free to air), no other platform can deliver it and Ten’s nowhere to be seen. Seven and Nine are both expanding local bulletins in every state and online, from morning and afternoon editions.Ten need to get back on board, with local weekend editions and even a possible 9.30pm bulletin on Weeknights.
This is most likely a 10 million dollar investment, if done correctly.
US Networks which are suffering more than here are expanding news, local stations especially. It’s their only way to survive (and make money through the local US TV system). Ten need to catch up.
Any news on Homeland? The next season begins in the U.S. on Sunday. Ten normally fast-tracks it, but past seasons have run October to December.
Saw this comment on TV Tonight…
I’m A Celebrity has an airdate – Sunday January 29. Maybe TEN have realised they have to match 7 and 9 with their reality shows as its in a 7pm timeslot.
Considering the low ratings for the previous seasons, it will be in a 10.30 or later slot or on a multichannel
I hope they give it some respect and show it in an 8:30 timeslot on ONE.
Promo just aired for new Bondi Rescue on Sunday 29 January. So that must be the show at 6.30pm before I’m A Celeb.
7:00 Sundays should be better for Reality Shows on Ten to give Seven and Nine a Run of their Money, Celebrity would actually compete against MKR and Married on January 30 and a Ratings Drop is Expected for it. When’s Modern Family Returning to Ten anyway???
Well. the low ratings for two seasons ago didn’t stop them fast-tracking it on the main channel last season. I thought it more likely that with Ten’s schedule packed with cricket at this time of year they will just hold it back until they can fit it in.

Interesting… 
Does Ten mean 10.30am?
Also, tickets to the Australia Day Concert (7.30pm on January 26) will be available free from the Sydney Opera House website from midday AEDT on Monday, January 14. Maximum two tickets per person.
24:Legacy coming to Sunday. I’m assuming 8:30pm. So ten are continuing with this failed strategy of airing American dramas at 8:30 on the main viewing night? They will continually to rate dismally until they figure out an Australian content solution for that time slot… Sunday’s is screaming out for a live variety show.
Does anyone know what Ten aired last Friday night (January 13) in the 9:30pm-11:30pm slot?
EDIT: I have solved the mystery - the second run of Let’s Be Cops in a week.
Let’s Be Cops
Thanks, you’d think they could at least run another movie. It seems Ten are just re-using the same programs over and over again. 2 airings in five days.
I’m assuming it will be more like 9 o’clock considering I’m a Celeb has been pushed back to a 7pm start. Last year it went for 2 hours on a Sunday, I believe.
