00:00En su heyday, fue el Entertainment Network.
00:04Ahora Channel 10 está en su knees.
00:06Nuestro ejecutivo hoy ha dicho staff que 150 trabajos van a ir,
00:10con más de las noticias de las noticias y su wake-up breakfast program
00:14para ser axed.
00:15Ben Worsley reports.
00:17Wake up to something new on 10.
00:19Con un nuevo show, viene fanfare y hope.
00:22Es un exciting día para Channel 10,
00:24pero hopefully es un gran gran riqueza.
00:26Pero el riqueza fue bumpy.
00:28Wake Up's ratings never grew beyond 30,000.
00:32And after six months, it's over.
00:35Its axing was confirmed today, but there was much more.
00:39Three of the 10 networks, four news programs will also go
00:42and its London and LA bureaus will shut.
00:46150 jobs will be lost, including nearly half the news staff.
00:50It's a very sad day for a lot of very good people.
00:53Revenues are in the toilet and ratings are less than auspicious.
00:56This is a struggling company.
00:59The struggles aren't anything new.
01:01Thank you very much for watching the last ever breakfast.
01:04All good things must come to an end.
01:06At 10, they have frequently.
01:08At last count, eight programs have been axed in three years.
01:126.30 with George Negus was on air for just 10 months in 2011.
01:17The same year, the late news was cut before being resurrected.
01:21The circle went in 2012, soon to be followed by breakfast.
01:24If the first failure at first light wasn't enough of a wake-up call,
01:29they tried again.
01:30Now that's gone too.
01:31Along with the early news, morning news and 10's late news.
01:35So again, the questions asked about the network's future.
01:39With the share price this low and the media laws on ownership
01:42potentially changing later in the year,
01:45there's definitely some interest from overseas.
01:48Voluntary redundancies are being offered at the network.
