TEN News stuck on Groundhog Day

By David Knox on February 4, 2010 / Filed Under News 34

It’s great to see networks displaying a sense of humour.

TEN is really upping the ante this year, first with the Celebrity Support Group promo, and now with last night’s TEN Late News reporting on America’s Groundhog Day.

Just brill!

    LOL I was watching Ten News for the first time in ages when I saw this… made me chuckle… you wouldn’t see 7 or 9 do this, and no, they are in way superior in their news broadcasts!

  2. Chris February 5, 2010 at 11:57 am -

    LMAO. That is so funny! They should do more stuff like this.

    They do this every single year. It was funny the first time I saw it, but 10 years on the joke’s a little tired.

    Sorry, I can’t stand it when Australia has to adopt American traditions that make no sense to our culture.

    I feel like such an idiot for not getting the joke in this, when I saw this last night I was just like “how the hell did ten get stuck on a loop in the middle of the news?!”
