People don’t like watching ugly people unless it’s ugly people getting better looking.

It almost sounds like you want something among the lines of Gogglebox: Daily Edition!
Yeah, I think most TV viewers want incredibly beautiful looking people on the dating shows…

Then explain Sky After Dark? 
The latter really only happens after a few pints.

…and I don’t think there’s been one successful “Tonight” show anytime within the last 25 years or so.
The most recent attempts at Tonight/Variety-type programs on Australian TV were probably Tonightly with Tom Ballard and (although this one aired at 7.30pm…) Saturday Night Rove. Those two titles alone are probably enough to scare any network from trying such a format again in the forseeable future.

The Tonight Show — a new evening show on Channel 9 on Saturday’s.
A group of 3 or 4 presenters / host talk about the week’s top stories, along with games and comedy.
An audience would be there to watch the hour show.
Hosts: Kyle Sandilands, Karl Stefanovic, Sarah Harris and Amanda Keller.
(I know it would be costly and hard to get some of presenters, but it’s not impossible)

An Australian version of either Victor Lewis-Smith’s TV Offal or Ads Infinitum. Just someone ripping the shit out of old television and ads and everything surrounding it.

Bring back Santo Sam and Ed’s Total Football! That’s a show idea!

Giving these two their own breakfast show on Ten might not be such a bad idea.
It’s not a show idea, but I’ve long wondered why no one has tried (recently at least) to program high profile title films with “limited commercial interruptions”. A few options, one company/product is the key sponsor, they have the intro sponsor card, could even have their logo on the bottom corner the entire film watermarked, maybe an intermission with a couple of ads halfway through, and the final title ad. Basically brand it around one brand.
Eg Nine’s Saturday Night Movie presented by Cadbury with limited commercial interruptions. It’d be a good way of providing some premium advertising, as well as a better option for viewers to see a movie on FTA. Would especially work well with family films like Shrek, or premium films like Godfather etc.

It’s a great idea, but will companies be willing to play a lot for a movie?
If it was the world exclusive premiere of a movie, maybe. First time it aired anywhere.

Could work for Ten with the Paramount library…

Good Morning Australia
Seven Network
Weekdays, 9:15am-11:30am
Good Morning Australia replaces The Morning Show, and will be hosted by Edwina Bartholomew and Joe Hildebrand, with news updates at 9:15am, 10:10am and 11:05am presented by Jodie Speers.
The show takes a newsy/current affairs focus, providing viewers the latest in news, current affairs and hot topics, with just a little bit on entertainment (if anything, entertainment would just be cross promotion for Seven’s reality shows).
There will be no advertorials/infomercials.
Segments include:
- each morning, a journalist from The Daily Telegraph newspaper joins Eddy and Joe in the studio to talk through the day’s news in the newspaper
- Hot Topics segment similar to Sunrise, where two people (politicians, journalists, commentators etc.) go head-to-head on the news of the day
- Newsreader Jodie Speers presents an “On This Day” segment, where she informs viewers of a significant event that occurred on that same date in a previous year
The entire show is presented from a desk that will be positioned at the same window where Sunrise move the desk to for the second half of their show.
Just for a change from the usual red, yellow and blue, the colour scheme of the show will be pink/purple, using the same graphics as The Daily Edition, but in the colour pink.
News would be at 9 on Sunrise, so you could just do news at 9:30, 10, 10:30, and 11.

Would be a pretty short game show.
This is what I was hoping to see on Nine’s shortlived 2015 program “The Hot Plate” rather than the infamous MasterChef/MKR rip-off we really got!
