I feel like 10 have missed a trick with their FA Cup rights- certainly from the 3rd round onwards there is a lot more interest as that is when the top flight teams first play.
With the 3rd round fixtures tonight and tomorrow night I would have thought that putting a few games on live overnight on 10 or even 10 Bold would have certainly rated better than the usual overnight programming.
Also it would have been a good way to promote/drive people towards Paramount+ to see the non-broadcast games. For some reason, those games are streaming on 10Play rather than P+ (like they originally planned to)
I saw the end of some strange promo just before the news returned tonight on the Sunshine Coast, seemed liked a 10 Sport promo featuring a few different sports but there was no watermark? Probably a SCA throw together Iâm guessing.
SCA air a lot of cut down promos as fillers in lieu of ad with different audio tracks, most noticeably the 2022 network promo and the long Football on 10 one.
Just trying to find a reason why it wouldnât have been watermarked, and most logical reason is because Iâm watching in regional area as I doubt 10 would do that but I could be wrong.
It definitely featured clips of all their sports - Football, NBL, Melb Cup etc and was just before returning to the 5pm news from an ad break.
The track schedule for this yearâs Australian Formula One Grand Prix at Albert Park was announced this morning. On Saturday, April 9, the F1 qualifying will occur at 4pm AEST, leading directly into 10 News First in the eastern states. The F1 race on Sunday, April 10, will start at 3pm AEST.
The early start times is due to daylight savings having finished the previous weekend.
I posted above that the F1 race would start at 3pm on Sunday. Assuming it finishes at 4.30pm, that leaves around one hour for post-race presentation, interviews and analysis.
that is so sad, a shadow of its former self. I remember 10 use to have quite a lot of hosts/commentators even when they had no Supercar rights. Then again they use to air all Formula 1 races live.
There has been a steep decline in their sporting output in the last decade.

I guess the only thing they had in the 2010s was the Big Bash but thatâs only 6 weeks at the end of the year. But given the overall state of the network throughout the 2010s is it a surprise their sports coverage has fallen off.
The NBL today released the fixture for the remainder of the 2021/22 regular season, which would finish on April 24.
