I hope they’re changing a lot more than just shortening it to 30 minutes. They’re a bit delusional if they think the only reason people aren’t watching any of it is because it goes for an hour! Are we able to get ratings data broken into the half hour slots? Maybe the first half is rating ok but people switch off around 6:30pm? Really seems unlikely though. ---

This can’t be the only change. It needs to go. I know the local newsrooms are overworked, but surely the local news at 6pm rated better than this. > [@David](#): > > I wonder what will air Sundays at 6:30pm.

> [@JBar](#): > > No, it’s not. They’ve just admitted it’s a flop. Just axe it. This is probably 10’s last ditch bid to salvage News+. If (when?) that fails I suspect it’ll be axed, probably by mid-2026. Back to 5-6.30 local news by next Christmas! ---

> [@Blake](#): > > Maybe the first half is rating ok but people switch off around 6:30pm? TVB says “the show was pure profit after the first 30 minutes, so 10 is deciding to take a financial hit”. In other words, people switch _on_ around 6:30pm. ---

I still feel like it needs a dual header for the banter because it’s not meant to be a full on news bulletin, it’s meant to be different from the news that just came before. Not that Denham and Amelia do a good job of banter anyway LOL 😆😛 ---

A simple solution would have been to switch this and the Afternoon News around but start News+ at 3pm as an afternoon edition like Nine News Now was. 10 could try a mix of Celebrity Deal, Celebrity Hot Seat and new episodes of Wheel at 6:30 Saturdays and Sundays. A 1 hour weekly current affairs show could use the original News+ formula ---

Surely Georgie would be ideal for this especially in a lighter form, with someone like Hamish or even a comic/presenter and doing more of a show like The One Show with lighter fair and more stories that are less hard news. ---

Well, this is exactly what I suggested ever since 10 News+ began. I’m glad someone was listening. Ten execs have no idea though. 😉 ---
