Not funny. Just modern-day common practice. Literally everywhere does the same thing.

Anway… since they’re asking for interest for people being part of the studio audience, the show must be starting soon? Last year, did it start roughly the same time as HYBPA, which was in May?

Those wipes used on the transition look quite familiar, almost sure something similar was used in the early 2010’s packages 10 had at that time.

Well there ya go.
Still seem vaguely familiar from an older package, maybe I’m mistaken.

The Cheap Seats Returns To Cover The Important Stories.
Premieres Tuesday, 30 April At 8:30pm On 10 And 10 Play.
Some have said that The Cheap Seats hosts, Melanie Bracewell and Tim McDonald, took a superficial approach to news and current affairs last season.
This feedback has been taken seriously and is something season four plans to rectify.
Melanie Bracewell said: “Despite Tim and I not being on speaking terms, I’m willing to fake it for the 2024 season of The Cheap Seats. I’m hearing whispers that “Across The Ditch” will be returning, bigger and better than ever! I am the one doing the whispering.”
Tim McDonald said: “We’re so excited to be back for Season 4! New year, new stories, but the brief remains the same - Media Watch meets Love Island. 2024 will be a year of big events, from the Olympics in Paris to the US Election. I think there’s even a pickleball tournament in Launceston. We’ve got it all covered.”
Comedians Melanie Bracewell and Tim McDonald, alongside their Cultural Correspondent Mel Tracina, will return to cover all the important stories. Plus, all new instalments of Mel’s Markets, Timfomercials, Across The Ditch and What’s On What’s On In The Warehouse.

Why did all the superficial stories in the promo seem to come from Queensland

Thank god, cause the other was so repetitive every ad break.
