Leaked Channel 10 email exposes 'experiment' to boost ratings
Channel 10 is trialing an 'experiment' in an attempt to improve the ratings fortunes of 10News+.
www.dailymail.co.ukHere’s a quick update on the latest news regarding Channel 10.
- Channel 10 has been actively reshuffling its news and current affairs offerings in recent years, including changes to flagship programs and time slots. This includes introducing new formats like 10 News+ to replace traditional evening current affairs in some markets.[1][2]
- In early 2026, there were reports of ongoing experiments and adjustments to the 6pm news block and the transition from 5pm to 6pm, aimed at retaining viewers and boosting ratings for 10 News+.[3]
- Independent outlets and media coverage in early 2026 indicate Channel 10’s continued focus on streamlining content across platforms (TV, 10Play, YouTube) and exploring shifts in afternoon segments to allocate resources where audience demand is strongest.[4][3]
If you’d like, I can drill down on a specific aspect (for example, the current status of 10 News+, host lineup, or changes to afternoon/late news) or pull the most recent updates from a particular region (e.g., Australia-wide vs. Sydney/local feeds). I can also summarize any official statements from Channel 10 or ACMA as of the latest available reports. Let me know your preferred focus.
