The early 10 TV Australia promos had the “10” outside of a square but the Australia map in a square. They soon changed it so that the “10” was put into the square (as per the logo) and the Australia out of it.

Second Editon:
The irony is, that once Hinch finished on 10, Hinch went to Nine. Prior to that he was at 7. Hinchs replacement was Alan Jones, which only lasted a short time. I think the egg was on 10s face with that debacle.
I had read that it was claimed Hinch was sacked for not being controversial enough. Does anyone know if that was true?

I thought it was more about Sydney management trying to install a host more known in Sydney onto the public. If I remember rightly then 10 News Chief Carmel Travers signed off on it.
Perhaps Hinch’s ratings weren’t as strong in Sydney as they would have liked or him or his show was seen as “too Melbourne".
yes I think it was Ms Travers’ pet project. I don’t think her tenure at Ten was too well remembered by other colleagues, either. I suspect she ruffled a lot of feathers.

Yes she was a raving lunatic from memory. Not unlike that Anthony Declegie at seven in recent times.
Wasn’t she on Beyond 2000 in the early days
Yes she was
She was actually on the ABC with Towards 2000 before that. In 1984 started a company and took the program to the 7 Network.
From 14 October 1993.

Personally I think 10 needs to find someone like Hinch to draw an audience. But that said the journalism needs to match the shows host.
When Hinch went to 10 (NRTV) from 7 (Prime) my family watched him, then when Ray Martin moved to ACA and Hinch went to Midday, my family then started watching A Current Affair.

Never got better for Alan Jones after the opening night

She was one of the founders of Beyond Productions which is still around producing shows mostly for Discovery nowadays.
Wiki says 1994 not 1993. The show lasted until April 28 with the last episode that day.
