High-profile figures, including weather presenters Tim Bailey and Mike Larkan, are understood to be leaving the broadcaster as part of the cost-cutting measures.

Network 10’s news division will axe jobs and centralise the presentation of its 5pm bulletins in Sydney and Melbourne, while also making cuts to morning programThe broadcaster announced the cost-saving measures in an all-staff email shortly before 1pm on Tuesday.

Matt Burke will anchor sports coverage in Sydney, Brisbane and Perth while Stephen Quartermain will present sport in Melbourne and Adelaide. Sports reporters Jonathan Williams in Brisbane and Tim Gossage in Perth will take on expanded roles. As with most major media organisations, 10’s ratings have grown substantially during the global coronavirus pandemic.

“It is in no way a reflection of their talent, contribution or passion. They are exceptionally gifted people. We are incredibly proud of them and their work. There is no doubt they will be missed.”

Pity about MikeLarkan

No!!! What about Mike Larkin’s jokes?!! Like - I gave away my vacuum - it was collecting dust.

If 10 got Ron Wilson back in the morning to read the headlines, it would be much better than the dreary, preachy ABC news breakfast, and infinitely better than Karl, Kochie and the Ka$h Kock.

Good news story. Get woke go broke

Devastation. I feel sorry for those talented people who are leaving and may have to quit media industry altogether because other networks (especially ABC and Seven) can't afford to recruit them

It’s a shame that the lying project didn’t get the boot

Disgusting. I guess we'll be getting no Perth news anymore on channel 10.

What about the Project surely that gotta go

The words “Network 10” and “news” don’t sit comfortably in the same sentence - I’ve always thought of their coverage as having the quality of a urinal trough in a nightclub, but maybe it’s just me. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Not painful at all.!. In fact it's a welcome relief.!

Calls to change green tape laws to help bushfire victims rebuild | Sky News AustraliaA senior NSW minister has called for 'green tape' planning laws to be eased to help bushfire victims save thousands of dollars as they rebuild. \n\nHomeowners are required to clear a number of expensive regulatory hurdles when they rebuild in bushfire prone areas.\n\nNSW Transport Minister and Bega MP Andrew Constance said changes were necessary. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia Green politics is tying people’s hands. Not before time. And where's all the donated money ? 'Green Tape' is totally not a thing. Green tape does not cost the economy or hinder development, it merely protects what needs to be protected and should, if anything, be much, much stronger.
