 Ten News is the news service of Network Ten in Australia. National bulletins including early, morning and late news are presented from Ten's high-definition studios in Pyrmont, Sydney, TEN-10. Its one hour flagship local metropolitan bulletin at 5.00pm is produced in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth. Ten News retains a federal politics bureau in Canberra, along with foreign offices in Los Angeles and London. Ten also draws upon the resources of BBC News, CBS News, ITN News, APTN and Reuters for select international coverage. A number of other news and current affairs programs are produced by the network including Sports Tonight and Meet the Press.
[edit] HistoryTen News introduced the concept of hour-long, co-presented news to Australia in the form of Eyewitness News in the late 1970s. The 1980s, however, was arguably the network's most successful period with its local Sydney and Melbourne bulletins often rating highest for their timeslot. After a number of names for the service, Ten has eventually settled on naming its bulletins Ten News (following the use of others such as Eyewitness News, Ten Evening News throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s). A major change to the service occurred in January 1992 when all five of its local bulletins were moved to a First at Five timeslot. Ten News has often been described as a 'training ground' for some of Australia's best-known television journalists. Some of the best-known reporters and presenters who launched or spent a major part of their careers at Ten News include Jana Wendt, Kerry O'Brien, Katrina Lee, Ann Sanders, Steve Liebmann, Tim Webster, Ron Wilson, Anne Fulwood, Juanita Phillips, Liz Hayes, Jo Pearson, David Johnston, Chris Masters, Larry Emdur, Eddie McGuire, John Gatfield, Kay McGrath, Graeme Goodings, Sharyn Ghidella, Laurie Oakes, Geraldine Doogue, Jennifer Keyte and Mike Munro amongst others. [edit] Bulletins[edit] National Bulletins[edit] Early NewsTen Early News is an hour-long national news bulletin, broadcast live from Ten's Prymont studios on weekdays from 6.00am to 7.00am. The bulletin is presented by Ron Wilson, while finance segments are presented by Kathryn Robinson. Other fill-in presenters include Frank Coletta or Belinda Heggen. The bulletin was presented by Bill Woods until he became co-anchor for the Sydney edition of News at Five. Ten Early News is essentially two half hour bulletins, run back-to-back each containing news, sport, finance and weather. Many reports from overseas affiliates CBS News, BBC News and ITN are featured, and crosses to Ten's Melbourne and Canberra newsrooms are used frequently to cover overnight news. The bulletin began in January 2006 and features a number of segments unique to its timeslot, such as morning newspaper headlines from the country's major papers. The bulletin provides a more traditional alternative to breakfast programs, Sunrise on the Seven Network, and the Today Show on the Nine Network, both of which air during the same time slot. [edit] Morning NewsTen Morning News is an hour-long national news bulletin produced from Ten's Pyrmont studios in Sydney. The one-hour bulletin airs at 11.00am on weekdays, and is presented by Natarsha Belling from Monday to Wednesday and Ron Wilson on Thursday & Friday. Belling and Wilson also read the news updates for 9am with David and Kim at 10.15am. Fill-in presenters for the morning news are either Frank Coletta, Belinda Heggan, Kathryn Robinson or Bill Woods. The bulletin includes daily special reports, including Monday's Sports Report with Mark Aiston, Angela Bishop's Entertainment Report and Friday's Sports Report with Neil Cordy (or Rob Canning). The morning bulletin typically includes a 5-minute newsmagazine story from US network CBS. [edit] Ten Late News and Sports TonightTen Late News and Sports Tonight is shown at around 10.30pm weeknights, but often later on Fridays. The Sydney-based bulletin is presented from Monday to Thursday by Sandra Sully with Sports Tonight presenter Brad McEwan. The Friday edition is broadcast as two separate programs with the Late News presented by either Kathryn Robinson or Tim Webster with Rob Canning presenting Sports Tonight. A financial news update is featured each weeknight, presented by Tom Piotrowski. Fill-in anchors for the bulletin include Belinda Heggen (News), Neil Cordy and Adam Hawse (Sports Tonight). [edit] HistoryA late evening news bulletin was first shown as part of the network's coverage of the First Gulf War, when it chose to use its exclusive access to CNN to show a 30-minute national news bulletin focused on the build-up to the war in January 1991. It was initially hosted by Eric Walters and titled Ten Evening News: Crisis in the Gulf. Previous names for the bulletin, in line with various other bulletins produced by the network, have included Ten Eyewitness News: Second Edition and Ten Second Edition News, usually with the presenter's name in the title. Walters presented the late news until April 1991, when Ten undertook a major overhaul of its news programming. The departure of Walters, who had been fronting two bulletins a night, prompted Ten to create a sole late news host position and a more separate, stand-alone program. Anne Fulwood, at the time a newsreader on Good Morning Australia, was chosen to host the relaunched Ten Second Edition News. The program gradually introduced its own elements, such as weather with Ray Wilkie and business with Robert Gottliebsen. Its straight news style was a clear point of difference with initial rivals, Seven Network's Tonight Live with Steve Vizard and Nine Network's The World Tonight with Clive Robertson, quickly drawing attention and viewers. Over the next few years, those networks introduced their own late night news bulletins, such as Nightline and Seven News Late Edition, initially competing directly with the Ten Late News. Since its launch, Ten's Late News has been the most-watched late news bulletin in Australia, and is currently the only to air at 10.30pm. Ten Late News has been presented by Sandra Sully since late 1995. Throughout 2005 - 2007, Charmaine Dragun was the regular Friday presenter on the Late News until her death in late 2007. In the same year, Kathryn Robinson began presenting on Fridays. In late 2008, she began alternating with Belinda Heggen, who is currently on maternity leave. In 2006, the bulletin was merged into the late weeknight edition of Sports Tonight from Mondays-Thursdays, currently hosted by Brad McEwan. Previously, Ten Late News also aired on weekends, presented by the previous afternoon's news presenter until the Saturday version was axed in 2004, and the Sunday edition in 2005. Sports Tonight Late Edition also aired before they were axed in their respective years. An early weekend edition, shown at 5:30pm and hosted by Rob Canning, is still shown on Saturdays. In 2009 the Sunday edition of Sports Tonight was axed, however it was revived in mid-October. [edit] Weekend NewsTen Weekend News is a 30 minute national bulletin, but was originally presented as local editions for each major capital city. In the 1990s, however, the local weekend bulletins were merged into a national edition, currently presented from Ten's Sydney studios by Natarsha Belling. The bulletin is broadcast into Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide markets, with Perth viewers receiving a localised bulletin, also presented from Sydney by Natarsha Belling. Traditionally, weekend bulletins of Ten News would not include a dedicated sports report as Sports Tonight was broadcast directly after the bulletin at 5:30pm. In 2009, however, the Sunday edition of Sports Tonight was dropped from Ten's schedule and moved exclusively to One HD. As a result, a local sports report has been incorporated into the Sunday edition of Ten News and is currently presented by Rob Canning (Brisbane and Sydney) or Ian Cohen (Melbourne and Adelaide). However, later in 2009 Sports Tonight was brought back to the 5:30pm timeslot on Ten. Previous presenters of the national weekend bulletin include Tracy Spicer and Bill Woods. During the AFL season only, Melbourne and Adelaide receive special Saturday local half-hour bulletin, instead of the networked news from Sydney. Both the Melbourne and Adelaide bulletins are presented by George Donikian from the Melbourne weekday studio with the Adelaide bulletin going to air at 5pm (5:30pm EST) and the Melbourne bulletin following at 6pm. Both bulletins feature a Sports Tonight-branded sport report presented by Rob Waters in Melbourne and George Donikian in Adelaide. [edit] News at FiveTen produces five separate evening news hours at 5pm on weekday evenings. A separate bulletin is produced for each of the network's five main markets; Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth. The Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide bulletins are also broadcast in some regional areas of their respective state via Southern Cross Ten (and WIN Ten in south-east South Australia). Ten News Melbourne is also broadcast on Ten Mildura, Ten Tasmania and Ten Darwin. The Adelaide bulletin is the only bulletin not presented from its market city, having been produced from Melbourne since 2000 due to cost-saving measures. As of 2009, all five editions of the 5pm bulletin also air a national Finance Report at 5:30pm from Ten's Sydney studios, presented by Jacqueline Maddock with Amber Muir being the main fill-in. [edit] Brisbane/QueenslandTen News Queensland is presented by Bill McDonald and Georgina Lewis from studios at Mt Coot-tha. Sport is presented by Peter O'Dempsey and weather by Amanda McLeay. Traffic reports are presented from a traffic helicopter by Jayce Barker. Fill-ins for the bulletin include Emma Dallimore, Max Futcher, Lexy Hamilton-Smith and Scott Beverage (News), Wesley Dening (Sport), Chloe Simmons and Amelia Charlton (Weather). Ten News Queensland has three remote bureaus on the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast and in North Queensland (TBA). Former long time co-anchor Marie-Louise Theile left Ten News on 14 December 2007 to spend more time with her family[1]. Other previous presenters of note include Geoff Mullins, Tracy Spicer and Brad McEwan (sport). [edit] SydneyTen News Sydney is presented by Bill Woods and Deborah Knight. Sport is presented by Brad McEwan, weather by Tim Bailey, and traffic by Vic Lorusso. For almost eleven years between 1995 and 2005, the bulletin was presented by Ron Wilson and Jessica Rowe, until Rowe moved to present the Nine Network's Today. She was replaced by the network's US correspondent Deborah Knight in 2006. On Friday 30 May 2008, Tim Webster stepped down as sports presenter and was replaced by Brad McEwan. On 9 December 2008, it was announced that veteran presenter Ron Wilson would be moved to the Ten Early News from 2009.[2] Wilson presented his final Sydney bulletin on Friday 16 January 2009. Substitute presenters for the Sydney edition include Tim Webster (News/Sport), Sandra Sully (News), Neil Cordy, Rob Canning (Sport), Catherine Kennedy, Frank Coletta and Angela Bishop (weather). [edit] MelbourneTen News Melbourne is presented by Mal Walden and Helen Kapalos from the station's Como Centre studios. Sport is presented by Steven Quartermain and weather presented by Mike Larkin. The bulletin also includes traffic updates presented by Jimmy Wirtenan. The bulletin was formerly presented by David Johnston, who was replaced, after his move to HSV-7 in 1996, by Mal Walden. Jennifer Hansen, co-presenter of the bulletin throughout this period and part of, with Walden, one of the longest-serving news duos in television history, was replaced in 2006 by Helen Kapalos. Fill-ins for this bulletin include George Donikian (News), Christi Malthouse (Sport) and Rakhal Ebeli (Weather). The Melbourne bulletin is screened throughout Victoria, Tasmania and Darwin markets. The bulletin was originally produced at Ten's Nunawading studios until news operations were moved to the Como Centre in 1992. The set underwent a revamp to the current look in 2008. [edit] AdelaideTen News Adelaide is presented by George Donikian and Rebecca Morse, from the network's Melbourne studios. Sport and weather is presented from the station's Adelaide newsroom by Mark Aiston and Jane Reilly. The bulletin is also broadcast throughout regional South Australia and the Broken Hill region of New South Wales through WIN Ten in the Riverland & Mount Gambier and Southern Cross Ten in the Spencer Gulf & Broken Hill. Adelaide-based reporters Esther Lindstrom and Peter Sellen are the current understudies for Morse and Donikian while Sports Director Corey Winguard fills in for Mark Aiston. Ten are yet to announce an understudy for Jane Reilly with news presenter Esther Lindstrom also reading the weather over summer 2008-09. Reilly's previous understudy, Jodie Blewitt left the network in 2007 to pursue a radio career. Previous fill-in news presenters have included Belinda Heggen for a few weeks in late 2008, Mignon Stewart (nee Henne), Max Futcher, Luke Waters, Katrina Schute and Deborah Knight. Rob Popplestone previously filled in on sport while Melody Horrill was the fill-in weather presenter. The bulletin has been presented from Melbourne since 2000, as it was claimed at the time that converting Ten's North Adelaide studios to an HD set-up would incur too much cost. In mid 2007, however, ADS-10 moved to new premises in the CBD. Initially, Adelade based presenters George Donikian and Nikki Dwyer moved to Melbourne, with Dwyer eventually resigning in 2001 after she decided to move back to Adelaide, to be closer to her family. She was replaced by current Nine News Adelaide presenter, Kelly Nestor who resigned in 2006 to pursue a career in the US. From 23 June 2008 onwards, Ten News Adelaide remains as the only state bulletin not to be presented from its state capital. [edit] PerthTen News Perth is broadcast from the network's studios in Dianella, a suburb of Perth. It is currently anchored by Narelda Jacobs with sports presenter Tim Gossage and weather presenter Michael Schultz. Ten originally moved production of the Perth bulletin to Pyrmont in 2000, citing high costs of converting the network's Dianella studios. Then-presenters Greg Pearce and Christina Morrissy commuted to Sydney to present the bulletin. Morrissy later resigned from these duties after suffering deep vein thrombosis on a flight and was replaced by Celina Edmonds. Pearce also later resigned to return to Perth (Pearce now presents the Perth edition of Nine News), while Edmonds resigned to spend more time with her family. She now presents mornings on Sky News Australia three days per week. Following their departures, Tim Webster and Charmaine Dragun became the main anchors of Ten News Perth from 2005. After Dragun's untimely death on 2 November 2007 [3], Webster became the solo anchor and continued to present the bulletin until May 2008. On 18 January 2008, Network Ten announced that studio production of Ten News would return to Perth. [4]. The network denied that the move was related to the death of Charmaine Dragun; as the plan to switch production was made well beforehand. On 27 February 2008, it was announced that local reporter Narelda Jacobs would anchor the bulletin. Jacobs began presenting in May 2008. On 23 June 2008, Ten News Perth presentation originated from the Dianella studios for the first time in eight years. The Perth bulletin is the only Ten News at Five bulletin not to use the dual-presenter format. [edit] References
