Completely agree with you @Nicholas, always liked Hamish on Ten Late News, and Matt was well suited for sports coverage.
@R17TV, I’m glad you like it, and I bet a lot of viewers would too. I was focusing on a decent Daytime schedule. [quote=“R17TV, post:44, topic:2388”]
giving Matt White a key role at Ten is a must. Since he moved there, it seems he hasn’t been given any big roles other than as the face of Ten’s Motorsport coverage.
[/quote] Agree too, as I said ten has the best TV personalities but are way too under used, like Jess Rowe, Ita Buttrose, Denyse, Jono, Matt etc
My question was purely something to think about rather than a ‘call for action’ regarding a new game being created. In saying that, I wouldn’t mind playing in or being involved in setting up a new version if such a thing was to happen.
In regards to the game I was referring to, it known as U-TV and held during 2007. Apart from that, I don’t remember anything about it as well - maybe others might remember more about it.
Mainly on the strength of their news, NRL and cricket coverage.
Things I would change:
Mornings
9-10am: Shorten “Today Extra” to 1 hour. (Drop all of the advertorials).
10am - Bring back “Here’s Humphrey” (30 mins)
10.30 - Bring back “Curiousity Show” (30 mins)
11am - Nine Morning News to be 1 hour again
Afternoons
1pm - Bring back an American soap (Days Of Our Lives maybe?)
2pm - ??? Reality repeats might be OK here.
Evenings
7pm - Bring Back “Sale Of The Century” (dump ACA).
One game of NRL on Saturday nights.
Other
Get a “Full Frontal” or “Comedy Inc” style show back at 9.30pm one night a week (1 hour).
Find a regular timeslot for 60 Minutes (doesn’t necessarily have to be Sunday nights).
I’d like to see a serious motoring show (I don’t mean an Australian version of Top Gear). 9.30pm one night a week 1 hour.
WEEKDAYS
6am Eyewitness News This Morning - With Anjali Rao
8.30am Studio 10 with Sarah Harris, Joe Hilderbrand, Jessica Rowe and Denise Drysdale. Ita joins the panel occassionally (think Barbara Walters and The View)

I might suggest that anyone with purely mock schedules should post them here: Mock Schedules
I interpreted this thread as being intended more for a complete mock channel/network scenario, not just schedules, but also including graphics, presentation, personnel, etc.?
I have decided to come up with an idea for a new Aussie FTA network - 4.
4 will be driven by a high-quality news service with bulletins throughout the day. They will offer some points of difference by starting their tentpole realities at 7pm, dedicating themselves to high-quality Australian drama television series and have the only commercial news bulletin after 7pm.
