Fewer car crashes, meatier news: Ten unveils bold Project replacement
In a tumultuous week for broadcast news, with the axing of The Project and Q+A, Network 10 has revealed the details of its bold new push into prime-time news and current affairs. Speaking exclusively to this masthead, Ten news chief Martin White said the one-hour 6pm show, titled 10 News+, would combine breaking stories, long-form investigative reporting and trustworthy analysis. It will go head-to-head with the 6pm bulletins on Seven, Nine* and ABC News. Launching on Monday, June 30, 10 News+ will be co-anchored by investigative journalist Denham Hitchcock and Walkley Award winner Amelia Brace between Sunday and Thursday. Ten's national affairs editor Hugh Riminton and senior journalist Ursula Heger will present the Friday edition. 'It's not going to be the same old one minute or 30-second stories [you see on traditional news bulletins],' White said. 'We'll give each story as long as it needs, so people can really understand the issue. There'll be no opinion and no filler, just the facts.' Among the journalists that White and executive producer Daniel Sutton have appointed to 10 News+ are Ashleigh Raper, Bill Hogan, Brianna Parkins, Samantha Butler, Carrie-Anne Greenbank and Claudia Vrdoljak. The network's veteran entertainment editor, Angela Bishop, will helm the program's arts and entertainment coverage. Loading 'There'll be less of the car crashes and factory fires, and more of the stories that really matter to people's lives,' Hitchcock said. 'I don't think there's been a format like this before and to be in on the ground floor is exciting.' Hitchcock – whom White poached from Seven, along with Brace – is the son of legendary Ten journalist Kevin Hitchcock, whose television career was cut short in 1991 after he broke his neck in a diving accident. 'Coming to Ten feels like coming home to me,' said Hitchcock, who covered his bunk bed with Ten Eyewitness News stickers when he was young. 'Dad's been my hero since I was a kid, and he still calls me up if I get my grammar wrong.'
