More changes on the way for Network Ten after The Project’s cancellation

More changes are underway at Ten just days after the network confirmed the current affairs and entertainment program was ending.

More changes are on the way for Channel 10 as it continues its programming shake-up in the wake of The Project’s axing.

It was confirmed last week that the current affairs and entertainment panel program was wrapping up at the end of this month after 16 years on air, with hosts Waleed Aly, Sarah Harris and Hamish Macdonald all leaving the network.

It’s also been revealed that the 10 Play platform, now known simply as 10, will undergo a restructure, with 10 Peach (which airs classic sitcoms including Friends) replaced by 10 Comedy.

10 Bold, home of US shows including NCIS and CSI: Vegas, will now be called 10 Drama.

It’s part of a broader overhaul of the network which was flagged during its 2025 Upfronts last year.

“Channel 10 recently celebrated 60 years since its beginnings, and in 2025 we will harness the power and popularity of this much-loved brand across linear, streaming and digital platforms,” a spokesman.

“From next year, these platforms will simply be known as 10 – giving audiences easy access to all our premium content.”

Ten recently revealed details of the program replacing The Project, which launches on June 30.

10 News+ will be hosted by journalists Denham Hitchcock and Amelia Brace from Sunday to Thursday, and Hugh Riminton and Urusa Heger on Fridays.

Also featured in the presenting line-up are political editor Ashleigh Raper, Billy Hogan, Brianna Parkins, Samantha Butler, Carrie-Anne Greenbank, Claudia Vrdoljak and entertainment editor Angela Bishop.

Veteran producer Daniel Sutton will serve as EP.

In a statement, Ten said that the new program “will offer a fresh perspective on critical local and global stories, tailored for an engaged audience seeing an in-depth news coverage.”
