Ten News First Content and Appearance (2020-Feb 2025)

I think the ADS Library was donated to the Uni. Probably sitting in boxes rotting away somewhere.

I think much of that was from the 40 years celebrating show years back which Rove & Bert hosted.

That 97- 2008 period of promos were fantastic.

Miss that era

Yeah, especially the Team To Watch promo. It’s like, the second one that’s surfaced.

Interesting that the “golden era” of TEN was the Perfect Match / DJ/Jo Pearson Eyewitness News era, yet both are ignored.

Perfect Match was the killer show of the 80s. Literally.

Jo even made it to the front cover of Women’s Weekly at it’s peak. This was 10 at it’s height.

It was definitely covered in the reporting

Maybe. But not the killer combo that was 5.30pm Perfect Match 6.00pm Eyewitness News.

Lookup John Laws’ amazing piece on this in TV Week at the time.

Was there anything reported about the anniversary on the bulletin at 5pm?

Yes - including Sydney and Melbourne parties.

Promo just aired in the midday news announcing the move to 1pm from next week. Simple but looked pretty good.

That 1.00 on the last cap could use an edit.

Does look a bit strange, I know it says lunchtime above but would look better with a pm next to it IMO.

“You can catch all the biggest news of the day an HOUR later!”

What a selling point! Who wrote this script?? :joy:

I also hate their tag line “It’s all the news you need.”
Why should I watch their other bulletins then?

Brief interruption this afternoon.

Yeah poorly written, I had to re-read this one a few times.

Should really say something like “Condoms given to students turn out to be lubricated probe covers”.

The joys of trying to write a catchy headline.
