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

Melbourne needs an overhaul, new set, management, heck even new presenters if necessary.

If they can turn Brisbane around in a few months, Melbourne should follow.

And Wednesday was slightly higher for the broadcast TV - 58,000 / 55,000.

I mean fill in presenters doing funny days over the Christmas period is hardly anything new. Who on earth would bother to take time and write in about that?

10 will be pumped about this, hopefully if it continues it justifies the buy of Sharon & more investment in the service!

The project set?

Studios facility upgrades or set makeovers? I’m assuming Stifio 1 A is The project Studio?

Studio 1 (AKA as ‘Studio Bert’) is The Project
Studio 1A is The Cheap Seats / Sports
Studio 2 is News

So many issues with Brisbane recently, really show it’s being controlled interstate.

Tonight during the first story they crossed to Liz for a weather update and the cross went black for about 5 seconds. It was clear they meant to show footage which didn’t play, instead we saw Liz reading from her phone throughout the cross.

On the throw back to Sharyn, the screen behind her went black briefly before returning. She threw to a live cross to the newsroom, where the audio was quite muffled.

I think 10 Melbourne has done the news out of a couple of different studios over the years…

I believe you’re right, they moved to Studio 2 during the Eyewitness News era when they built the current set.

So at what point do we get our own control room? Ratings are good and it shows Melbourne is horrid.

Basically the network needs to invest in the following throughout 2025

Melbourne needs a new set
Brisbane needs a permanent set
Brisbane needs its own control room
Adelaide needs to move presentation back to Adelaide
Late News needs to come from the main Sydney Set

Anything we should put down on the wish list?

Wish List :x: Wish.com List :white_check_mark:

It’s 10, the most we’ll get is either a permanent Brisbane set or Late News from Sydney.
Happy to be proven wrong though (new control room please 10!)

The Brisbane set is fine. It just needs lighting in some of the lightboxes.

Adelaide is presented out of Adelaide whenever Kate isn’t doing it and she’s going on maternity leave soon I think so I assume it will likely be presented from Adelaide all of the time for her leave at least. Problem is the green screen and inability to throw between presenters (news to sport etc) at the moment. A small desk with even the newsroom for a backdrop would be nice but it sound like they need to invest to allow more than one person to be on screen at the same time (not sure what the technical requirements are, someone else will likely know).

Would just need a space where they can fit more than one person, and have a single robotic camera like Brisbane does - would at least be an improvement on the current set up.

I actually like the Brisbane set, nice and simple

Agreed. It would be nice if they moved the camera back a bit and put some LED lighting strips around the set to lighten it up.

They don’t need a big fancy set.
