Latest News About Network 10

Here’s the latest on Network 10 (Australia) based on recent public reporting:

Network 10 has been reshaping its nightly news lineup, with a new program introduced to replace The Project after its end in mid-2025. This marks a shift toward expanded news and current affairs programming in the evening slot.[1][2]
The new flagship news program is titled 10 NEWS+. It debuted in late June 2025 and is led by a team including Denham Hitchcock and Amelia Brace, with Ursula Heger and Hugh Riminton taking Friday duty. The network described 10 NEWS+ as a more rigorous, no-fluff newscast with exclusive reporting across multiple platforms.[2][1]
In connection with The Project’s departure, Network 10 also restructured related programming moves, including adjustments to other shows like Deal or No Deal, and expanded coverage to two consecutive hours of prime-time news on certain evenings.[2]
Coverage and reception of 10 NEWS+ have varied by outlet, with industry-focused sites noting the network’s intent to double down on news and current affairs and viewers discussing the new format and on-air talent. Some commentary highlights the program’s shift away from entertainment emphasis toward investigative and in-depth reporting.[3][2]
For ongoing context, Network 10’s broader news presence remains active through the network’s official News & Sport portal, which continues to publish national and local updates.[6][10]

The old flagship current affairs program (The Project) has finished its run, freeing a prime-time opportunity for 10 NEWS+.
10 NEWS+ positions itself as the central hub for in-depth reporting, with anchors and reporters rotating across Sundays to Thursdays, and special editions or Friday segments led by veteran staff.[2]
