    Default Theat to dump Formulea 1 and V8 Supercars from TEN.

    Its certainly no secret the TEN Network is currently facing major changes to both programing and staff in the weeks ahead.

    A report in today's Sydney Daily Telegraph suggests both the Formulae 1 and V8 Supercars will not be seen on the TEN Network once their present contract arrangements expire.
    I stand unequivicably behind everything I say , I just dont ever remember saying it !!

    Apparently the American CBS Network is taking over?

    They said on the news that Ten's production of several Australian-made shows will also get the axe, but I think there's no great loss there, they were all reality TV crap like "The Biggest Loser" (like really, what was that still doing on television anyway)?

    I hadn't heard of their motorsport program getting the chop but I can imagine how expensive that content is to buy so not surprising that it would be the first to go.

    Get ready for even more American content... sigh

    Relocation of a Games Show (Family Feud) to Sydney which should suit Grant Denyar as he will be closer to his home in Bathurst , All News emanating from Sydney, 3 locally made shows in doubt, ie Bondi Lifesavers, Shark Tank and Biggest losers.

    Also Lachlan Murdock and Bruce Gordon are still 'standing in the wings' waiting to challenge the sale of the TEN Network to CBS................keen arent they?

    With the financial state of the company, there are going to be a lot of cuts. I also read that all news is going to be coming out via Sydney with Melbourne closed.

    Probably the sore point will be that Foxtel might pick it up and people will have to subscribe to see it.

    Foxtel already have both F1 & V8 Supercars live & add free, all practice sessions as well. No need for them to pick it up.

    He might be FROM Bendigo but in recent times I have seen two articles on him and in both they say he lives at Bathurst but they gave the impression its 'rural'.
    Bathurst is understandable with its motoring museums and the Mount Panorama Circuit holding numerous events of all sorts through out the year to suit a Rev Head like him .....
