Maybe because the Sydney set looks different. Brighter. Cleaner.
or maybe cause theyâre all the same age?
Well, 34, 37, 37, 43.
Lisaâs interview with The Eagles was a ripper.

Hamish and Sarah are bound to be paired together⌠whether that be breakfast television, late news or permanently on The Sunday Project; great chemistry.

Why constantly speculate about new news programs when they are no plans for any?

He was a fizzer and barely bothered to turn up when he had the Late News gig. Why would Ten be stupid enough to give it to him again?
It should have invested its time and money into Matt Doran instead.

Wasnât that because he was filming his series for Ten at the time?
For a short period of time.
I actually havnt seen matt doran on 7 for a while now?
Heâs still working for Sunday Night I think. Be a good time to jump from that sinking Titanic called Seven and move back to a resurgent Ten.

LOL. Evidence?
Nine beat Seven last week for only the fourth time this year thanks to the NRL grand final and lack of AFL. Ten still way behind both.

On paper it looks like Seven is winning a lot. But a few things to consider (but wonât ramble on for too long since this is the Project thread):
- Seven doesnât seem to even bother with programming decent content anymore (and even when they try, the result is usually nasty).
- So much cost-cutting, letting go of high profile people like Jennifer Keyte
- Lacklustre ratings for the AFL Grand Final even though theyâve saved up for that.
- Over reliance on Fox in sports (AFL, Cricket) which made them bleed money because none of the events is exclusive.
- Canât even get their shit together because of failed investments, lack of strategy (particularly in the 2nd half), and poor management.
- Failure to rejuvenate and treat their top programs like shit which has resulted in DWTS and X Factor dying off.
Sure, Ten might still be a third rating network but at least theyâre trying which means that someday theyâll have success. Some of the content they produce resonate very well (Masterchef, HYPBA, Survivor, Bachelor, Gogglebox, The Project), others play out ok (Coight, IACGMOH, Shark Tank). Seven, on the other hand, has a good first half (even that is cracking) and an appalling second half of the year, whereas Nine and Ten have a fairly stable year as far as programming is concerned even if their programs arenât always No.1.
All Iâm saying is, as much as Seven is winning right now, you canât put it past the fact that Seven is fast becoming what Ten became a few years ago with poor programming, bad decisions and cost-cutting. I would personally say Ten is more financially stable and their production qualities are better than Seven. I wouldnât put it past the fact that many ex-Ten employees who work on other networks make a return to the new Ten.
Be interested to hear what others think.

Youâre entitled to your opinion but when it all comes down to it, Seven still wins most weeks. If it seems like they arenât programming decent content right now it probably has everything to do with thinking they have won the year again and donât need to make an effort.

I wholeheartedly agree. All networks give up when they win the year. That sort of attitude needs changing and with Ten prepping to become more competitive the others will sooner or later have to change as well.
