Nah,Grant Denyer & Family Fued are going to save the day

 

[darren forssman]

surely ff is more of lachie's handy work?

ONE dumped a couple of Yank sports a few months ago - NFL and I think NBA was the other

They're slowly disappearing as the contracts expire.

Remember when ONE was mostly sport ?
Barely any these days.It's more Discovery/National Geographic Channel type shows these days.

I'd kill for the NBA to have a few games a week on ONE

I'm honestly surprise 10 has lasted this long, I thought they would be dead by now. They must be on their last legs by now.

funny you say that:

thought this para was most telling:

James Packer, in my view, only took an interest in Ten to further his main agenda of enhancing the value of his then-pay television investments in Foxtel and Fox Sports. He has since sold these for a healthy price and no longer has any need to influence Ten's programs. He quit the board a couple of years ago.

That has always been that campaigner Packers ambition. Notice that slowly ten started losing every sporting event they had? Then one HD was transformed from a 24hour sports channel to the terrible mess that it is now with almost no sport on the channel. Look at how many different sports ten has lost in the past couple of years (I detailed it a few pages back).

Their current "top shows" are under performing too, Offspring, Puberty Blues, Master Chef and The Biggest Loser are all severely down on their previous ratings. Offspring looks like it will be the last season too as they're now over the tax free 66+ episode threshold and the execs don't want to be paying any extra for it.

I thought it was a multi year deal? Anyway ten need it, it was their highest rated "series" for last year.

 

[DREAM TEAM BUFF]

One's best rating show is MASH

It will survive until at least summer. They simply have no Plan B.

 

[DREAM TEAM BUFF]

Enough of Family Feud ads already

 

[NotAMagpieBogan]

GEM / GO have picked up the Baseball

7/7Mate have the NFL, sounds like the Super Bowl will be live on 7.

Didn't know about the baseball actually.

 

[Cleavy]

Enough of Family Feud ads already

they have nothing else to generate "buzz"

 

[JP Sauce]

One's best rating show is MASH

The only thing I watch on One, Ten or 11. Actually apart from MASH and Seinfeld I don't really watch anything on network TV that isn't sport.

 

[Mr Eagle]

There's one old faithful they haven't gone back to yet:




(sorry, I just felt like seeing that again )

 

[PAdman]

Yeah probably?

Enough of Family Feud ads already

Shows how long it's been since I've watched ten, haven't seen one yet.

 

[JUBJUB]

Not hard to see the budget cuts at Ten have kicked in.Weather presenters are now in the studio on Ten News.
Mike Larkan [Melbourne] seems to be in a different studio to Quarters.Tonight weather was just comical.After the first graphic it just crapped out and I don't think Mike knew.At one stage the camera crossed back to Quarters when it shouldn't have.

I think these guys must've been running the show tonight

 

[Cruyff14]

He was in the studio yesterday too, he never is. Found that odd.
