10 did try to ‘Bring Back Saturday Night’ during Pilot Week, which, for some unknown reason, became a Hey Hey-esque show hosted by a man who quit his mid-week talk show because he disagreed with network management, who had planned to change that show’s format to be more of a Hey Hey-style show, something which IIRC he ‘refused to consider’ at the time.
Paramount just needs to consider the following questions, which are:
- How can our network provide an alternative to our rivals?
- How can our network reimagine weekend programming?
- Is there something ‘new’ that we can offer that others don’t or won’t?
- What matters to our viewing audience?
- What makes a unique weekend schedule?
