10 at 10 sounds like a name of a game show, what a stupid name

With a name like that, i’m hoping it’s more like The Latest.

I hate how the “Late” doesn’t line up properly.
Why doesn’t this logo match the name “10 at 10: The Late News”???

Also, damn, I got pretty close.

For naming convention, if they are sticking with News First then it should’ve just been as you mocked similar to Midday.

If they wanted to differentiate the bulletin, 10 News at 10 would’ve been better IMO. But I can see why they’ve used this, 10 Late News is a bit of an institution in itself (even after being off-air for 10 years).

And hate the inconsistency between the name in the release and what they sent through.

It’s the same old poor planning unfortunately, can’t see the digital first strategy on 10 play first lasting sadly.

10 at 10 - sounds like it’s 10 minutes of news. A bit like the Ten Second Edition News sounded like it was 10 seconds long :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Weird that’s it’s 10 at 10 or whatever. 10 what??? And then it’s at 10:30 on the channel. Bizarre stuff.

Did they announce a newsreader for this?

They’ve fucked this. National and timeshifted. They need local fucking news in primetime.

I’d get it if it was like ‘10 News at 10’, that would make sense if they could be consistent with the timeslot.

But the naming convention is weird, it doesn’t follow the other bulletin at Midday (which didn’t rate a mention) and also differs to the titlecard image they made available.

Very little is known at this stage, including who will be presenting.

The late news details were buried at the bottom of the Deal or No Deal press release, where it mainly talked about the new evening lineup.

I mean this is 10 we’re talking about, so you should really lower your expectations cause you’ll be disappointed.

They just never learn! Grant Denyer at 6pm and national news that’s all confused late at night. It’s insanity.

Whole thing sounds like they’re going as cheap as possible, remove 2.5 hours of local news, add half an hour of national news. Following the cheap as possible theme, I’m guessing they’ll do it out of Perth, directly following their local news. Saves them paying people to stick around in Sydney unless they pre-record the whole thing.

No presenter announced as yet - anyone who reads the presenter forum will probably know who I’m hoping will present however if that can’t happen, maybe Candice Wyatt could do it out of Melbourne? She was a great presenter when she co-anchored with Quarters, and I love seeing her fill in for Jen.

Another (highly unlikely) option would be to go back to the future and bring back Jennifer Hansen, who’s been available since last December when she left Smooth. However, not sure how successful that would be as 1. it’s been years since she read a TV news bulletin so not sure how familiar she’d be to audiences and 2. even when she was at 10 she rarely presented nationally so doesn’t have the same profile as Sandra, Chris Bath etc.

The problem though is the only way that could potentially be viable is if the bulletin begins at the same time on the nights that it airs. Whether people here like it or not, that’s something Australian networks are unwilling to commit to these days. Hence why 10’s solution to that self-inflicted problem is for the new late news to air first on 10Play.

Rubbish, they could do it if they wanted to. The reason they don’t is the 7.30 shows often leading to nothing - or leads to HYBPa which can start later as nothing else follows

10 at 10 is an awful name. Sounds more like some sort of FM radio hour where they play 10 songs beginning at 10AM with no ads in-between.

More of the same from 10 - big glossy announcement, lots of talk about doing something different and fresh but ultimately it will lack substance and fail to gain any real traction.

They should look to Seven and Nine in this space. Seven launched with something genuinely different five years ago which they have evolved over time. Nine slipped in quietly and has found a steady audience while using network resources to minimise costs.

Neither made a big deal of announcing their late night bulletins months before going to air. Both were focused on content rather than trying to attract attention at 10:30pm when nobody is switching on their TV.

Anyway, good luck to them.

Honestly I’d even take a timeshifted local news

Not being able to claim “live and local” is one thing but not even being able to claim “live”? Again, great idea but looking like bad execution
