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

Will we be in ā€œThe Dog Houseā€ over those weeks?

If you agree with adding local news at 9:30 we can both retire happily

I wouldn’t watch local news at 9.30pm so I don’t really care. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: At that time of night I’m watching a movie or TV series.

I wonder how a mid evening bulletin would go on a multo channel, especially since for years on 10 News has symbolised a station closedown/bedtime for viewers. Its been a long time since 10 has had a US procedural drama after the news, so a mid evening local news on the main channel might not be feasible

10 News+ to 30 minutes? Still ratings could drop…

This isn’t a 10N+ exclusive problem, but I really dislike interviews with messy offices in the background.

Isn’t that actually his messy house?

I can see he didn’t have time to iron that white shirt so wore his rugby top. Just back from Chemist Warehouse but doesn’t have anywhere to put his medication because his pill box is full. And he can’t decide where to put that hideous stuffed animal so is using it as a paper weight. He has run out of space in the bookcase so he is just piling up his receipts and documents in folders for tax time. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

He’s wearing a collared polo?

I’m told . . .

A messy desk is a sign of genius

How ridiculous… they couldn’t even finish the last shot so they just cut it abruptly and said good night. Surely they can get timings right.

In an exclusive interview with The Australian ahead of 10’s upfronts this Wednesday, Beverley McGarvey has defended the ratings performance of 10 News+.

ā€œOf course we would like more viewers but we are not unrealistic,ā€ Ms McGarvey said.

ā€œWe did not think it was going to come in and do 500,000 Ā­(viewers per night). We thought it would do a little bit better than it’s doing but we also we made it knowing that it would work ā€˜off platform’.

ā€œOur YouTube audiences are up 135 per cent year-on-year and that is largely driven by 10 News+ and getting our news brand in places where people are consuming their content.ā€

135 percent increase largely driven by 10 News+?

Given the on air numbers, how can she even call this? Clicks on it doesnt mean an even bigger turn off rate - as an example how many watch the entire broadcast?

135% on a base of literally nothing is still nothing. She’s delusional that woman.
