What writing on the wall. Baseless speculation.

Writing on the wall for 6pm gameshows, I’d gather

crossroads · February 3, 2020, 4:01am

Keep in mind that game shows often include a lot more sponsorship, with more opportunities for product placement within the program… This would offset the cost involved involved in a game show format dramatically.

I don’t really know where people get the idea that news is a cheap production.

lexington · February 3, 2020, 4:01am

Oh, yes. Let me read it while not distracted by other things… ok, ok… hit me with the ‘your too protective of 10’ for a couple of posts.

lexington · February 3, 2020, 4:02am

Adding thirty minutes to an existing bulletin is cheaper than chips. Until you need to bed that in with more content or genuine rehashes.

crossroads · February 3, 2020, 4:04am

Fair point… especially if it rates better.

lexington · February 3, 2020, 4:05am

By genuine rehashes, I mean a new story/live read/cross… rather than recycling the 5pm content.

cmo · February 3, 2020, 9:00am

News update just presented by Georgina Lewis in Sydney. That’s unusual.

Nicholas · February 3, 2020, 9:01am

Wow odd. Was it actually recorded for the Sydney market?

cmo · February 3, 2020, 9:02am

Seemed like a generic national one.

lexington · February 3, 2020, 10:43am

Due to Barnaby announcement happening late.

Same as what Perth does.

nimeton · February 3, 2020, 11:30am

Highly, highly unusual for them to use Brisbane instead of Perth - must have just been a timing thing, or I suppose, of most relevance to QLD.

Either way, good on them for using what they have to cover breaking news.

lexington · February 3, 2020, 9:12pm

Would’ve been thirty minutes before 5 for Perth… they wouldn’t have been in a position to do an update.

Saturday 22 February

10 News First to be shown in prime time directly following Supercars: Adelaide 500 (except Perth).

TV.Cynic · February 9, 2020, 4:14am

From 10:

Last week 10 News First 6pm up 38% year-on-year for timeslot.

10 News First 5pm up 12% compared with the same week last year.

cmo · February 9, 2020, 4:15am

Was pointless still on at this time last year??

TV-Expert · February 9, 2020, 4:16am

Yes.

cmo · February 9, 2020, 4:17am

Still a good increase. Obviously ten will need to leave news at 6 there for around 10 years to even get any traction. They should promote the news much more in prime time. There should be a minimum of a 10 second news promo every commercial break.

TV.Cynic · February 9, 2020, 4:17am

Pointless was rating 160,000 - 190,000 in the timelsot that week.

BJT2 · February 9, 2020, 4:17am

It would be great if we could get some actual numbers on this. What is the time slot actually getting at the moment?

250k?
