Fox forget Ten is still a mass-outlet for their program here in AU. The PR/Marketing Ten provide them will be lost unless their shows become tentpoles for other networks. Who by chance also have a focus on local content…
The troubled Fox exec. team, have just created more market share loss for the Fox brand.
“Mumbrella understands it could save Ten millions, which the network may look to spend on local content.”
And of course the network may prefer to have the expense drop straight to the bottom line to prop it up.
Good work Murdoch. Who cares, lose some more money for your company. Ten will have better shows. Throw your fit at running Ten into the ground for a bargain price. Thank god someone has finally stood up to this dictator. Hopefully the Sky acquisition will result in the same way. If it does go through, Sky will have its Murdochisation complete.
The Simpson’s and Modern Family have been 2 hits for 10 out from the Fox output deal. Yes cancel it and save millions but local content?. What more of the Project on a Sunday, ratings you might expect late night or morning TV or maybe to pay for Lisa W. Watched the Project last night and i get the differentiation between their news and traditional 6pm but they use the show to self promote unashamedly talent from Rove’s talent bank and fellow comedians. Interview the fantastic Tony Martin from Martin/Molloy days but funny he has a book to promote – is that news told differently?
Well just to let you know “Homer lost for words”…..The Simpsons and Modern Family don’t rate for Ten so its not a loss to lose the programs. Chin up mate ?
well bob i said they have been 2 hits from the Fox deal over 25 years – operative word HAVE.
Fair enough..The Simpsons was watched more about 15 years ago but now a waste of money. All that money spent on Fox programming that currently doesn’t get enough viewers will be better spent on locally produced programming rather than the rubbish we see from the US.
