10 might be able to obtain some floor crew in its budget with the lose of 10 News +
Is the Late News also still main set?
The closer today was unusually long and a bit awkward. No theme, just the wide shot for over 30 seconds.
10’s Late News continues to be a standout.
The 6pm portion is definitely doing better than 10 News +. That has flowed onto DOND at 6.30pm that built on the lead to top 200,000 which it hasn’t managed very often.
Saw a news promo here in Brisbane last night during Deal - good to see they’re still on rotation, however shallow the amount is
Let’s hope they stay consistent.
Late news looks like it’s on delay. There’s no Live wipes for the crosses.
As thought we didn’t need another example of the disconnect between time of day, and the dark dark graphics used for the Lunchtime bulletin.
It usually is when it’s after 10pm.
The 6pm “retention” was fairly consistent across markets on Tuesday. The rating was the highest weekday result since the first day of the new arrangement.

Nice outro to the Lunchtime bulletin - minute long Dolly Parton montage
Hopefully the extra resources deliver improved ratings. It is a much better product from the main studio.
my reaction when 10 doesn’t make adequate use of their promo straps to briefly preview some of the bulletin’s headlines ![]()
Hate these straps because they offer nothing meaningful.
A headline or two perhaps…?
They’ve added more blue and white around the previous graphic to take up the whole bottom of the screen? Yeah, not really sure the point of the refresh….
Why can’t it just be the thin strap? The blue layer underneath, to the bottom, is unnecessary.
