It would be great if the Networks brought back movie openers. Made it feel more like an event.

Pretty much the high point of Ten’s presentation and programming, tbh. I seem to remember 2003 being the year they almost overtook Seven.
This period saw them share the FTA AFL rights with Channel Nine, as well as hold the Supercars rights while Seven had no regular sport to televise during the year which would’ve meant some painfully cold winters for them as far as ratings were concerned.
The strong performance of Australian Idol in its infancy was also a highlight for Ten - but also imagine if MasterChef was also launched around this period?
In 2004, Ten finished ahead of Seven in Melbourne (and I think Adelaide too). Only Seven’s stranglehold in the west saved them from what was already a dismal period for the network dating back to the start of 2002/3.
Eh probably wouldn’t have done as well. Masterchef was very much a product of the Great Recession and people focusing more on eating at home. Hard to understate just how much its ratings success was a product of the ‘vibes’ of the time.
Another element of its success was it was viewed as heart warming and featured supportive judges, as opposed to the prior years of the ‘nasty’ judge in reality TV shows. These judges supported the contestants, and their love of cooking shone through. This show had heart in spades, but still retained the vital elements of an epic competition show. The viewer also believed they could achieve the same results at home, especially children. It was the perfect family show.
