I dare say Bruce is hedging his bets that he can swoop in once the reach rule is abolished and snag a FTA network for a bargain basement price. WIN then goes nationwide.

“bad”, “worse”, “disastrous”.
They haven’t told us about “catastrophic” :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I actually wouldn’t mind if WIN went national, as long as they matured and had a consistent brand and no big coverups, nice and clean.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen them use the 2 screens on the right of the set. Would be good to see them be used in a similar fashion to Seven News Sydney.

I do love the Melbourne set. That backdrop is a beauty (and I’m not generally a fan of cityscapes)

It might be business as usual at Ten Eyewitness News: First At Five for now, but unfortunately I would probably still expect a major announcement about the future of the news service to be made by the network before the end of the year.

If any new owner comes in and shuts everything down and ceases all Australian output for imported shit watch revenues decline and the network will be even worse off.

There are strict Australian content quotas, so won’t happen.

If worst case scenario no one woulda to but ten how can it keep operating ?

They collect $350 million a year in revenue. Their costs are more than that. So it’s at a loss. But clearly there is money to be made if the business settings are right.

Some insight from Ten’s coverage of its entry into administration:

  • Deals with ‘American Networks’ (presumably CBS and FOX) are already being negotiated down to half their original price and administrators may sell them off.

  • There is “no chance” the channel will go to black.

  • The most likely scenario is that Ten will be recapitalised and relisted on the market within 60 days.
