Network Ten axe Video Hits
After 24 years Network Ten has axed flagship music program Video Hits.
Current hosts Faustina Agolley and Dylan Lewis will officially sign off on the final show, Saturday 6 August with a retrospective from the best moments from the past two decades.
Video Hits premiered on Ten on 15 February 1987, originally as a video-clip based program before evolving to include interviews, hosts, live music events and presenting partners and tours to its format.
The Australian reports Sports Tonight is also cancelled and across the network 60 editorial, engineering and operations roles have been cut while up to 40 non-contract staff have told they were no longer needed.
The newspaper also reports that no presenters have been axed but the roles of George Negus and Sandra Sully remain uncertain. Ten also closed down its publicity and marketing departments in Perth, Adelaide and Brisbane.
