Ten News First Content and Appearance (2015-Sept 2020)

Wow I didn’t even know they did that.

Well, you can, by watching it on 10play.

It’s hard to see how the económics of a national newscast 6-9am to 25 million people wouldn’t work, when in the US you have local newscasts to markets of under 750,000 running 4am-6am and being sustainable

It doesn’t make sense to me.

I just think it’s an area 10 has no Interest to allocating funds to. I don’t think that it’s not economically viable

Well, if it was economically viable, they wouldn’t have axed their two previous attempts at Breakfast shows. If they can’t attract advertising revenue, then there is no show.

Those were not news bulletins from the already existing news department. They were magazine shows with full staffs res sources and unique teams of staff. Magazine breakfast shows like this are more expensive than rolling / headline news - which is what stations in US do

Also just because they were axed doesn’t mean they were not economically viable. It could just mean 10 wanted to divert funds to primetime and not invest in the morning slot

I doubt they were losing money. Probably just 10 felt that money could be put to better use elsewhere. They were both axed when 10s primetime was in the shitter

Is that using the JIB?

This was one of the most beautiful shots I’ve seen 10 use, scanning from one end of the set to another. I remember sitting there last night and thinking “Wow”.

Why not place TICKER TV on CH10 in the mornings with a 10NEWS anchor from the studio doing news on the hour. Share resources and beef up resources on existing Ticker Jumpstart.

Lol, 10 has had many fails with breakfast tv… they don’t need to add Ticker Jumpstart to that list especially with those hosts.

Same. They seem to be playing with many new angles, shots and scans. Best news presentation in Australian TV history by far!

It was a little fast. A slow pan would have been better as Sandra was talking. But nice use of set nonetheless.

lmao, no network would dare pay a cent to air that trainwreck of a production.

Yeah nah. I’d rather 10 not to have any breakfast program that that poor excuse of a breakfast show.

Reminds me of the new CBS Evening News presentation, except IMO 10 does it better.

Well the likelihood of 10 doing breakfast in the short-term is dreaming by many MS contributors.

Interesting visuals with the 10NEWS set, it doesn’t look nice. 9news has a better multi-purpose set but still aren’t as grand as those overseas.

Chris presented another exclusive and long form journalism piece on last nights news.

Sydney needs to slow down the pan shots and make sure staff know to get out of shot. Floor manager was just caught out badly
