Freelancer is a former Seven Townsville/Sunshine Coast reporter. Left the network to move to London in 2016.
not to me. use what you can to minimise cost.
do they still get a reporter on the ground?
I only just recalled that at the 2014 World Cup, Ten withdrew from the pooled satellite arrangements for coverage of news footage to save money. It was only a week or so after extensive cuts to their news.
Youâd think theyâd have some type of lead-up advertising if this was true⌠But weâre talking about TEN

They may be constrained about what they can say and do due to the presence of a certain other anchorâŚ

The Herald-Sun article states Quartermain is taking pre-planned leave and hasnât come to an agreement with the network about a future role. Ten is still hoping heâll reconsider reading sport on the bulletin when he returns.
I donât pay for News Corp product, either. Letâs just say I do the digital equivalent of reading the newspaper of the person seated next to me on the train. Daily Mail will probably have a rehash of the article within hours.

I donât know, it just doesnât sound thought out.
A bit odd. Change reader. Same bulletin. Same programming. For what? Quarters rates, like, 150% over Sandra Sully on a typical day. They need Jen at 5, 6 and 9:30 if they are going to make any impact in this day and age.

hahaha, 150%. you canât compare different markets.
Melbourne has the highest amount of Ten Eyewitness News: First At Five viewers, but every TV network gets the largest numbers for their news services in that market.
Last I checked, Ten is home to Melbourneâs 4th most watched news. Stephen Quartermain is hardly on the same level as the two Peters on Seven/Nine or even Ian Henderson (+ regular fill-ins) on the ABC.
