Ten News +

Would love to know the social figures for The Project in a typical week.

Extended interview with Dr Chris Webster tonight promoted during 5pm news. Excerpts shown as part of 5pm story.

I think the problem here is the EP - an ex journo - has gone and pitched 10 the show he wanted to make and watch. Rather than the show suburban 10 viewers wanted to watch.

The more I see and read about this show is abundantly clear why it’s not connecting with viewers.

It’s scared all the project viewers off. It’s not what Aussies or 10 viewers want at 6z and actually, it’s not that well made. It’s slow, lethargic and un dynamic

Why isn’t this just Top Story or Halle Jackson now format off NBC News now. Why didn’t they just copy that exact format.

Fast paced dynamic news of the day format.

People want lean in fast news at 6. Not lean back insights format.

This EP has fundamentally misunderstood the audience. And 10 execs fell for his sales pitch hook line and sinker.

Fire him - get Adam boland or that gay sunrise ep Michael Pell. And copy NBC News now. Easy

You may have made some worthwhile points in the rest of your post, but the moment you wrote this you lost all credibility…

I assume there’s a few good producers from The Project that are currently looking for work… I have no doubt they would have covered last night’s Mushroom Trial verdict better than the slop 10News+ served up.

He was a good producer no, he seemed to get how to make tv that resonated with the audience.

was “Gay Sunrise EP” his job title? What did being gay have to do with the point you were making?

Better opening to the show tonight, didn’t waste time. Got straight into the big interview within 2 minutes.

Denham still so socially awkward. His opening line to the doctor was a mess. Needs to look at the people he is talking too, not the bottom of the desk.

If anything it encourages advertises to go advertise on those platforms rather than on 10 itself

Tonight’s pre-recorded story on the Mushroom case is the story they needed to air last night.

It seems much better tonight?! They really need to add national weather at 6.55. And I’d love a news ticker (in case anyone is reading this at 10 News + :joy:).

does Ten get a cut of any ad revenue generated through those platforms? I’m tipping it’s not a generous cut, either way.

All signs are pointing to a 4 week only run for Big Brother. I would imagine at this rate schedule changes will be well advanced by then if not done

Well nothing. It’s just he’s part of the family so that’s how I remember him :slight_smile:

Anyway. Point is - he got formats. This EP does not

Georgia Tunny and Rob Mills are competing in the upcoming series of The Amazing Race Australia so it makes sense to keep her on the payroll. I like her on The Project.

Much like you don’t get the criticism about your comment.

It was a strange comment for sure but I honestly don’t think @KICK-IT meant anything by it. Just an unusual turn of phrase.

Let’s flip the script:

  • “that woman PM”
  • “that black news anchor”
  • “that Asian police chief”

Still acceptable?

Probably their best episode so far tonight. Won’t be enough to save it. Should be axed within a month.

Are we saying that The project might be coming back
