Mr Murdoch said Ten was addressing the underperformance by scrutinising costs and relaunching sports channel One with more general content.

"One will now broaden its focus on engaging and entertaining males 25-54 and the schedule will centre on targeted drama, HD movies and documentaries, and premium sport.

For Fucks Sake.

What.... Really.... Damn!

[pgc]

Thank goodness. Maybe now Ch10 will broadcast some HD movies for a change. The amount of good movies ruined by standard def is a crime.

My only hope is they continue to broadcast the F1 in HD on One.

[yeahlow34]

Fuck sake.

[TJ]

NO doubt they will keep F1 and NBA

Fuck off netball and all that other lame shit.

[mitchwnz]

Fuck off netball and all that other lame shit.

+1

[KyeBidz]

Surely with all this shit they've put in to F1 showing all practice & quali that will stay.
suuuuurely
*prays to jeebus*

[Justooon]

What we consider "premium sport" and what the boys at Ten consider "premium sport" will no doubt differ.

All I can see is "Air Bud 6: Golden Jacket Retriever" getting aired right over the top of something .5 decent.

[Wrexter]

as long as F1 Race and quali is shown in HD, does not bother me!

would be nice if they showed practice sessions also (in HD not stream).

oi pingpingpingping.

Vixens are smashing it this year ... those bitches are aggresive and hot.

They're also 6ft 5 and weigh 120kg.


Keen for EPL replays to stay cause I don't have foxtel..

[Joe]

That has never stopped Ben in the past, even when it was a 6'5 120kg male.

[sprint347]

As long as they keep ANDRA Pro Series racing, F1 and MotoGP I don't care.

Makes sense. Prime time shows with all the viewers have been stuck with SD whilst some crap 'fill in' sports are being shown on One for the 98% of the week when there's no NBA, F1, MotoGP etc.

[SINISTR]

I was surprised to see Jughead the movie (think thats right) shown yesterday on ONEHD, guess that explains that.

[fourseven]

$20 says we will get no qualifying, and delayed telecast of the F1.

[TJ]

Time to buy a vpn again.

WHS and with footy commitments and other shit on 10, well how fucked.

[DanWA]

I'd say they will keep F1 because they would get bulk viewers due to how popular it is!

[stormtrooper]

And yet ch10 are sitting there wondering why they have lost %16 profit.

No seriously, take away that HD stuff, no one watches it. You bet we'll make money on it!

[satch]

Just re-read article, they arent scrapping One.

They are revising the content shown on it, so im guessing will be movies and other shit like 7mate, and since they mentioned they are keeping the premium sport, im guessing motogp and F1 will stay.

[Stealthed]

Not too phased, If the entire race weekend of the F1 is aired in HD then I'm happy, Also dont mind the MotoGP, Nascar and WRC.

I don't really watch any other sport, maybe the odd bit of golf. If they keep those ones in HD then it should be good, as well as some of the other main sporting events people seem to enjoy, replace the lame "andre the giant spec" netball and other boring shows with some cool stuff... win win??

didnt they promise live f1 all this year?

fuck off all the gay sport aka golf and start showing some more motorsport like FIA GT

So many netball games back to back lately, ruins day time tv.
Also had 'extreme fishing' yesterday.. homeless ranga with a secret spot using bread as bait.. get your shit together Ten!

For Fucks Sake.

I actually think it's a good thing.

I read that quote as "instead of showing fishing and other random sports noone cares about, we'll instead show half-decent movies like Jarhead or docos on Valentino Rossi (both have been on 1HD recently), and keep showing the F1/AFL/NBA/NFL/PGA that everyone DOES like".

[shifted]

Extreme Fishing?? WTF, so instead of standing on a boat, or on the shore, these mofo's now jump in the water with knives and swim til they catch their prey or something??

[S_E]

Murdoch owns Fox Sports, coincidence? I think not. I was worried about this when Murdoch joined Ten.

[Crimson]

Fingers crossed they keep the racing. Anyone else notice they're streaming the F1 from their website now too?

[rucker_]

I will start a channel 10 massacre if they get rid of the NBA.
