Celebrity Name Game bumped as Ten turns to news to boost struggling early evening slate

Bring back celebrity name game to channel 10. We don’t all want to watch news at 6pm

No doubt it will be 30 minutes of news and one hour of ads. The news is hardly worth watching now. Full of car crashes and house fires. SBS world news is the only channel with quality content, and less ads.

And yet they continue to air a failing soap which pulls in 90k or less ratings each night…

This is just silly. 90 minutes of news, and then the Project follows with more news. Seriously?!? Surely this won’t solve your programming problems.

You have to be joking. News through the morning shows. News at 1130, news at 3:00pm, news at 4:00pm, news at 5:00pm, news at 6:00pm, should I go on? I watch the 5:00pm news and really look forward to seeing Grant for light hearted, physical fun, before more news on the Project. Sorry if I want to watch news all day, there is a dedicated channel for that. A big?

Could the project get rid of Tommy, he ruins the show, or get rid of the Project completely

Really enjoy watching celebrity name game. Very entertaining and Grant does a wonderful job as host. Please don’t axe it.

Very disappointed at Grant Denyers Celebrity Name game being axed We get enough news in the day and Grant Denyer is a breath of fresh air I wont be watching channel 10

I live in a regional city and we already have 90 minutes of news at 6pm – one hour of Ten News First then 30 minutes of WIN News (with the 6pm game shows relegated to a multichannel). Not sure what that means for our area. Hopefully it won’t mean our local news will be shafted in favour of even more irrelevant news from the capital cities. It’s the only chance for us see a local news bulletin – all the other news during the days is mostly about Sydney, Melbourne Brisbane etc…

(I also completely agree with Murray Ross’ above comment about Tommy Little ruining The Project)

Fed up with 10 changing Celebrity Name Game without telling us I only accidently found out. I love the show we all do not want to watch the news all the time. Bring it back.

There is so much sadness, with negative blah blah news. Grant on Celebrity Name Game is a highlight start for the evening filled with fun, postive vibe and laughter.
For people who want to watch and listen to all the news they have choices on other stations. For people who look forward to a relaxing and fun TV show with Grant with family please continue Celebrity Name Game Channel 10, please. Keep in mind too kids should not be watching the negative information of news.

The reason you struggle with the ratings for news is it’s on too early. I love celebrity name game and Grant Denyer please bring it back.

Bring back Celebrity Name Game it’s an entertaining show with a fun loving Grant Denyer giving us some laughs instead of an extra half hour of dreaded news

Bad move, Ch10. Really bad move!!!!!

Too much news on tv. With news interrupting all social media, why do tv execs think people want more news on tv?It’ all old news by the time people get home from work. Entertain us, stop with what we already know!!!

Bring Celebrity Name Game back to Network 10. (Not 10 Bold or 10 Peach). We don’t need an extra 30 minutes of the same news re-hashed. We need some light and laughter and Grant does that.

Stupid move Network 10. Bring Grant back to where he belongs.

As if there isn’t enough news on TV already!! It’s all doom & gloom anyway and is most certainly contributing to the ongoing increase in crime, anxiety & depression!! Do these tv head honchos (who are probably getting paid a fortune) not understand that not everybody wants to watch news morning, noon & night? For goodness sake we need more lighthearted uplifting shows on tv that families can watch together! And Grant Denyer is an Aussie treasure!!

Typical, pandering to the concrete jungle (city).
They whonge and get what what.
Regional Victoria is fed up to the teeth with all of the cri.e happeni g and being reported as ‘news’.
We enjoy watching Grant Denyer and his latest game show.
Stop pandering to the city folk. Time regional Victoria was considered.
No wonder you are losing viewers.
Too much News!!!

Bad move channel 10 who in their right mind wants to watch 90 mins of so called news most of it boring anyway get your programming right this is Australia not the United States of America

Now we find out it has been MOVED to 10Bold

What a stupid move, 90 minutes of news that will mean searching for something to broadcast, include the usual boring catch up on the outdated royal family, add the old guy dressed like a teenager doing photos and weather , extend it to flow into another hour of news with The Project, OMG , I’m off , channel seven, here I come

Bring back Grant and his celebrities. Don’t make me go elsewhere.

We are inundated with news ALL day…on all the channels…online…on the radio all day…bring back celebrity name game…and while you are at it…bring back Pointless and Family Fued aswell…maybe rotate them…they are fun and light hearted…too much news can not be good…and while you are at it…put Frasier, Becker, King of Queens and Everybody Loves Raymond back on Peach after James Cordon…laughter is the key to happiness after all…

Please bring back Celebrity Name Game!!! We need a fun & exciting & entertaining show!!! There’s already so much misery & angst in the world, why give us another 90 mins worth??!! As one of the other viewers said, get rid of The Project!! We really don’t need those Muppets on the tube!! You can then have the “Special” news on at 6pm until 7pm; with some interesting stories, day’s updates & events, weather & interviews with Sandra Sully & team & then put on something fun from 7-7.30 (Celebrity Name Game!!) & everybody’s happy!! BTW great move getting rid of the Living Room enough already with that show!!! Also, thank you for the opportunity to submit a comment without having to also provide all our personal details…how refreshing 🙂

No mention of celebrity name game being axed what a shame. Great fun filled show to start evening off. Who decides these things? I suppose its down to money again. There are plenty of news programmes on. Wrong move channel 10

Here is a idea start the news at 5:30 and put grant on at five

Just flick the remote. It’s on 10Bold!!??

A 90 minute news service will only make their ratings worse than they already are.

Here I am again after seeing GRANT DENYER HAD BEEN KICKED OFF HIS SPOT YESTERDAY I IMMEDIATELY turned to CHANNEL 7 AND THERE IT’LL STAY UNTIL YOU STUPID PROGRAMMERS ON CHANNEL 10 WAKE UP TO YOURSELVES !!!!

I don’t want my children watching the news. Celebrity with Grant is a really good option for non-violent, light-hearted fun and something that has them using their brains. Ditto for the mornings. JJ is not appropriate for young primary school children. Extra news?? Really?? You have a niche market because you provide something else other than news. Knee jerk reactions with programming shows little forward planning and low ratings are better than no ratings. Just bring back Celebrity and you’ll be keeping your existing viewers.

I’m sorry I’m not watching news for an hour and a half, do you know where you can stick Channel TEN news

I love Grant Denyer from family feud to celebrity name game, best game host ever with the most heart warming personality. We need more positivity and laughter in this crazy world we live in, news stories will not deliver this. Such a huge loss for the network and viewers.

I’m sorry I’m not watching news for an hour and a half, We listen to news all day we don’t need to listen to it for another half an hour

That was a great game. You seem to cancel all good gmes. Look at Family Feud it was terrific

Celebrity Name Game was an entertaining easy to watch and enjoy
Bring it back even in another evening time slot. It is worthy of being on air

Please bring Celebrity Name Game back. I look forward to 6pm because of this, it’s so much fun and Grant is amazing and keep us entertained. I avoid listening or watching the news as much as possible because I don’t want to feel depressed, angry, sad or feel like the world is coming to an end! The only news/current events I am willing to watch is ‘Have You Been Paying Attention’ at least I get a really good laugh from this show. So stop giving us too much rubbish news and instead aim to make your viewers happier instead.

I don’t want my children watching the news. Celebrity with Grant is a really good option for non-violent, light-hearted fun and something that has them using their brains. Ditto for the mornings. JJ is not appropriate for young primary school children and home shopping is a definite NO. Extra news?? Really?? You have a niche market because you provide something else other than news. Knee jerk reactions with programming shows little forward planning and low ratings are better than no ratings. Just bring back Celebrity, especially in the mornings, and you’ll be keeping your existing viewers.

What a stupid idea. I love watching Celebrity Name Game. I have been wondering why it hasn’t been on at 6pm on channel 10. I thought that maybe it was just a one-off extended news broadcast because of fires. There was no warning of the move. I just checked catch up and this week’s episodes are not on there which is unfair. Do we really need so much news?

Not happy!

Very disappointed Celebrity Name Game has been moved. Lost us now we loved watching Grant & the gang followed up with The Project

the sooner you bring Grant Denyer and Celebrities game….the sooner things will improve…..I know a lot of people who turn tv off at these times because they don;t want their children to watch only attacks,murders,crimes,and nasty subjects …..and frankly…..neither do I….
PLEASE !!!

I love Grant Denyer & Celebrity Name Game! He is so funny & the show is exciting..look forward to it every day! People are getting depressed enough with what’s going on in Australia & around the world without extended news times!!
Channel 10 was always my favourite but now no way!!!

i agree with those who do not want to watch the news. if they do there are 7 and 9. I will not watch 10 at 6pm

Bring back Celebrity Name Game Grant Was A Breath of Fresh Air And Lot of Fun I really looked forward to it..We Have Enough News Shows

To the powers that be, what you did is BULLSHIT taking this show off the air, it was a show that gives people a chance to forget the crap thats going on in their lives for half hour a night, your a pack of spoilers and I hope it comes back to bite you in the ARSE big time….

Bring back celebrity name game back with Grant Denyer we don’t need any more new we have to much and its all bad any way this is a fun show and that’s what we need. S Meredith

You’re kidding!! Finally we have a fun light hearted positive show on and you replace it with more NEGATIVE news!! You’ve got it all wrong!!
Bring back Grant!!

I loved family feud, and also celebrity name game. Grant Denyer is fabulous. You guys have stuffed up again. Shame shame shame

I used to watch channel 10 from the news at five until the end of The Project because Celebrity Name Game was in between those programmes and offered me mental relaxation and an opportunity to laugh. I watched the news today. The presenters good as always but the same news repeated all over again. A waste of time.

Bring back Grant Denyer and celebrity bame game already get enough news, we need the light entertainment. Thanks Grant.

Grant Denyer is the best game show host and yet ch 10 keep bumping him. Celebrity name game is a fun light hearted show and needs to be on mainstream tv as not all of us have access to 10 Bold.
Here’s an idea, lead off at 5pm with Grant followed by an hour of news, you might actually keep some viewers then!!
I would watch Grant over stupid Eddie and even worse Andrew.

No way! My son and I auditioned for CNG, we didn’t make it, but absolutely loved the experience and would do it again in a second!!! A very welcome change from the gloom and doom of news. If I want to know the news I will google it… I would rather laugh out loud at total strangers and cheer them on the win…. sad day?… bring Grant back!!! he’s such a funny and well loved Aussie icon ?

Very disappointed with Channel 10 there are so many news and current affairs programme’s on tv that Grants show was a breath of fresh air bump it over but at least keep it going and not just replaying old shows

Grant is a bore try hard

I just found out Celebrity Name Game was axed from Channel 10. I thought Grant was just on a Christmas Break! I love his show – so much fun! I think though he should be on at 5pm and then the news at 5.30pm followed by The Project at 6.30pm. Try that programmers!

Think Grant Denyer is an incredible host BUT the Celebrities were odd choices – Pointless at least was an intelligent game show hosted by two really great professionals – please bring back a game show for this slot – the news by 6:00pm is sooooo overdone having heard the same stories from “Sunrise” 🙂 to “The Project” – find Grant a better show! T

Bring back Grant Denyer in clebrity name game or preferably Family Fued

90 minutes of news – followed by the Project is actually 2 1/2 hrs of news.
60 mins of News First followed by 30 mins of repeated news followed by the Projects casual talking about the same news (usually ending with a boring 10 min interview with yet another comedian). Its way TOO much.
So weve stuck with 10 news at 5pm (for the time being) then changed to 1 for Grants show but weve now abandoned The Project (which weve watched for years) for either repeat if Bondi Rescue, A Current Affair or House Hunters etc

If channel ten is going to go down the more news front, why don’t they do news shows on men’s rights issues like the family court, some men getting falsely accused of rape in Australia, etc. And who cares if what I just said just offended some [edited under Mumbrella’s comment moderation policy] out there?. I don’t.

What is wrong with all you people – you’ve lost Celebrity Game blah, blah, blah. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS PRESS 1 ON YOUR REMOTE – what on earth is hard about that. You can programme it in…which is what I have done – again nothing hard about that….

What is wrong with you people going on and on that you have lost Celebrity Game and too bring it back – it is still on Channel 10 – ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS PRESS 1 ON YOUR REMOTE – what is hard about that. Goodness me, one can even press another button and save it as a ‘series” – again nothing hard about that…

Bring back Celebrity Name Game with Grant Denyer. No one wants news at 6pm and 90mins of news is OTT. Especially when you already repeat the same stories in the 60min program ?‍♂️

Bring back grant denyer and the game shows it’s some laughs and it’s way better than heaps of news and bad news all the time. The project is crap. I refuse to watch it.

Shame on you channel 10 , Mark Ferguson on Pointless was a breath of fresh air with Dr Andrew and the game itself was great and people complain it was bold in a few remarks. Than you put Grant Denyer back on just because he won a gold Logie and when celebrity name game Australia started there were very bold but hey , it’s Grant Denyer so that’s alright for the same time slot . Once again you axe the program for 90 minutes of news , your got be kidding.
I think channel 10 will be losing a lot of viewers and ratings going down by making stupid moves on programs.
Wake up and smell the roses, Channel 10 you’ll be the losers.

Bring back celebrity name game

Bring back celebrity name game our family enjoyed watching it!! It’s a funny light hearted show and Grant Center is fabulous and funny!! Who wants to watch 90 mins of news? It’s depressing!!!!

Bring back Celebrity and Grant. Why try and pit it against channel 7 news. Wake up programmers. NOT everyone wants to watch the same news all day!!!
