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

You know what, if they had the big 10 News First logo in the middle (with the blurred circle), it might actually look pretty decent.

Makes a lot of sense given she’s on the payroll anyway and probably helps a bit in reinforcing 10’s soccer offering/ecosystem. Scott is a good understudy too.

Afternoons without a watermark for the last part.

She joined 9’s Stan for Olympics and that probably made 10 want to sign her for a network deal instead of just the football

I’m assuming Lunchtime, Afternoon and The Late News are all taking a break from next week?

Correct, as posted in the programming thread.

Some watermark issues in Qld tonight, the white text of the logo not changing to black when the white super is being used.

Also noticed that the live cross to Fiji at the top of the bulletin that there was a super under the location with the local time - is that new?

Lol Stan sponsoring 10’s traffic crosses this week in Queensland, not sure if the same in other states?

Same in NSW.

Quite a few issues with the L3s today. As posted earlier during the Afternoon News, plus Sydney’s News.

I’ve seen it before but i can’t remember when it started.

That leaves Friday as her day off as she presents A-League broadcasts on the weekend.

Money is money. I remember seven and nine used to run ads on Fox8 back in the day.

And Ten needs it any way they can get it.

Totally get that, streamers and the like advertising on other channels is nothing new - just interesting to see the Stan logo next to 10’s news one.

Granted in this example it was missing on the Sydney example, but it did feature in Qld.

Given that traffic is sourced from ATN I assume it’s not actually 10 getting the revenue from this
