BREAKING NEWS Network 10's brand new show REVEALED: TV stars lead major shake-up after Project axing
Network 10 has finally named their new current affairs show in the wake of The Project being axed.
www.dailymail.co.ukHere’s the latest on Channel 10 (Australia) based on commonly reported developments up to 2025–2026:
-
Channel 10 announced a major reboot of its news offerings, introducing a premium current affairs program branded as 10 NEWS+ to replace or supplement traditional bulletins after The Project was axed. This marks a shift toward deeper analysis and multi-platform distribution, including 10Play and YouTube, with an emphasis on “no fluff, just the facts” in its messaging.[1][2][3]
-
The 6pm weekday news slot for 10 NEWS+ is planned to be anchored by Amelia Brace (Walkley Award winner) with other presenters contributing across days, alongside a team of reporters and an entertainment editor to handle broader story coverage.[1]
-
In late 2025, there were reports that Channel 10 decided not to reinstate certain daytime/afternoon bulletins (e.g., the 1pm or 5pm formats in some markets) in favor of reallocating resources to stronger-performing segments, with adjustments like shifting the late news to a later hour in some cases. This reflects a network-wide strategy to concentrate resources where ratings are strongest.[2]
-
There has been ongoing media coverage and internal communications about changes to set-ups around how 10 NEWS+ transitions from 5pm to 6pm, including experiments with on-air sign-offs and presentation pacing to retain viewers during the transition, as part of ratings-improvement efforts.[3]
-
Channel 10’s broader news strategy has been covered by industry outlets and local media, noting adjustments to scheduling, digital content integration, and the introduction of new formats in response to competition from other networks. These sources emphasize a move toward more in-depth reporting and platform diversification rather than purely traditional half-hour bulletins.[4][9]

I can also track for updates on 10 NEWS+ debuts and reception, and provide direct citations after each item.
