Ten News Centralisation 2020

I thought that these days it is produced in house with roving only owning format rights? This changed a few years back. Seems like a bit of misinformation out about this show

Both open. But obviously discussions about this change should still occur here for the time being.

Yeah I also thought that reading the TVTonight article about why The Project was saved with all of these cuts but then couldn’t find an article where it specifically mentioned that this was the case now.

Roving Enterprises website still lists the project as a show they produce

Network 10 is clearly not interested in news as there is very little ROI for them.

Why would 10 go around outsourcing their news production etc when it’s probably cheaper to do it in-house? The companies mentioned above will be looking to charge more to generate profit off the production as-well.

I think I’ve got this right…

Crossover times could mean there’s some regular shared broadcast window with mixed-State content, but also allows for specific state-based stuff within the bulletin, if run as one long broadcast… with the exception of QLD in DST and Perth.

Could also make rolling coverage a bit more flexible, perhaps?

Except that Perth will be read from Sydney.

Tim Gossage officially saying that he’s leaving the network

Slight correction for you mate but great work! Perth will be read from Sydney and they don’t use DST so in those months they’ll be 3 hours behind Sydney.

Monika Kos, Michael Schultz and now Tim Gossage. I’m so sad to see Tim Gossage leave Channel 10 Perth. Such a humble, professional man. I remembered back in 2002 where Tim Gossage started a local footy show, The Western Front (when Channel 10 previously had the AFL rights). The Western Front ended in 2011 (where 10 walked off the AFL).
All three presenters gone from Channel 10 Perth :frowning_face:

Terrible. So that means the entire Perth, Adelaide and Brisbane teams are gone (minus Jonathan Williams apparently).

Probably saving millions in salaries for the network

Goss and Shultzy are the duo we don’t deserve. Both brilliant in their respected fields. A lot of people (like myself) wanted to go into journalism because of these blokes out west.

Michael legitimately delivers the best and most informed weather in Perth, bar Aunty. 7 & 9 have these gimmicks but Shultzy has the facts (and for a long time the most up to date info from the bureau).

How much do you really think a newsreader for 10 in Adelaide is getting, let alone a weather presenter?

100% I’d even go as far as saying probably the most comprehensive forecast in Australia.

So sad seeing 3 quality presenters being shafted. I am really hoping that another network picks them all up because it will be such wasted talent in WA.

When you read all the comments on Gos’ tweet you really get an understanding of how respected he was in the industry in WA and across Australia.

250k+ news
150k + weather?

Surely Rebecca Morse would’ve been earning only a fraction of what Jane Doyle gets from Seven?

Maybe somewhere around 100k-150k in Adelaide? I’d imagine that Tim Bailey and Mike Larkan would’ve been paid a bit more, but reckon they’d still be getting less money than Sydney/Melbourne weather presenters on Seven, Nine (since she has some form of national presenting profile, I actually wouldn’t be entirely shocked if even Belinda Russell has a higher annual salary than Tim Bailey) and the ABC respectively.

What’ll happen with Brisbane’s Studio where the News and Several Kids Programs (Notably Totally Wild & Crocamole) are Filmed???

Crocamole wrapped production back in 2018. Scope films in their own studio with a field camera and Totally Wild uses some office space with a field camera.

They’ll still, likely, need the newsroom camera… and eventually guests for The Project and Studio 10, so they’ll need something.

Additionally I hear a C class program is still on the cards. Will that just be a ā€˜dry’ studio production?
