  1. Good decision. Now Marquard and Shoebridge should be shown the door…and have some common sense and bring back Mott, Klucas and Andrews who were responsible for the success 10 had before it all went down the crapper!

  2. How much in executive payouts and general redundancies in the past 18 months? Upwards of 8 million for execs. only according to last year’s annual report. And let’s not forget money down the drain for Breakfast and other flops… How many more dollars this year that could be better spent on good programming instead of the whims of one man at the very top of the food chain? Hope Hamish Mc does well, but the board is still in place. Mmmmm…..

  3. Know how TEan could make more money?

    Show a test pattern. The ratings would be basically the same.

    Heck, why don’t they just show home shopping all day instead?

    Dead in the water

  4. “Would the last person to leave remember to put the cat out and turn off the lights please?” used to be a sign in the old Film Dept at North Ryde. Wonder if someone saved it. That’s when TEN Sydney operated with less than ten staff after 7pm and still turned out a watched Late News. (MCR, CAR, VTR, Telecine, News, Announcer, Audio Op (recording tomorrow & doing Late News), Security man & Switchboard Op.
