There were signs of recovery up until Jan 2020 when Monika Kos joined in Perth. After that the downfall began.
Heh imagine if the news report quoted “It’s believed Ten’s luck ran out after the executive board approved a $1 million dollar loan for their Sydney news market”.
Always liked the look of Steve Liebmann’s weekend news on 10. Great for it’s time. Tight newsroom shot and just a great overall package.
Well presented as well. Shame 10 have lost some of their more unique features. They could do a lot with a late news or an early news.
I remember there was an uproar when Ten merged the Late News and Sports Tonight in 2006, though the Friday edition of ST remained separate so they could recap that night’s footy.
I also remember Ten used to air late-night bulletins on weekends in the early part of the noughties until the Saturday edition was axed in 2004, followed by the Sunday edition a year later.
Thanks for that - what nostalgia.
That would have been the last year of the bulletin being fully presented in Adelaide before the first era of Melbourne based presentation. Nikki Dwyer didn’t last long after the relocation, less than a year I think, before Deborah Knight filled in as co-presenter for a bit and then Kelly Nestor was appointed permanently.
There were also times where Katrina Stapleton (later Shute) would fill-in for Nikki Dwyer when the bulletin was presented in Melbourne. In fact, Katrina was the main fill-in newsreader if Nikki wasn’t available IIRC
Yeah, she was for a bit along with Peter Sellen filling in for George. Then Peter eventually presented as solo fill in when they started moving away from being so strict on dual presenters.
Because there was money to be spent in production before Facebook etc al. destroyed the local industry.
That was ten news was at its best, it has class and had a solid presenter with gravitas behind it! Loved the graphic as well

Geez, what’s with the Ten logo in that super?!
It was like that for quite a while in Melbourne. Someone must have liked it to be an actual circle rather than the correct proportions
The old 10 Early News with Ron Wilson, such a great bulletin, none of the craziness on Today and Sunrise. Wish they’d bring it back.
