10News+, the new current affairs show hosted by Amelia Brace and Denham Hitchcock, has failed to impress audiences, with many calling it a “snooze fest.”
A Promising Debut, But Failing to Deliver
The show, which promises to “dig deeper with investigations and original reporting you won’t see anywhere else,” featured an exclusive interview with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and a story on convicted drug smuggler Debbie Voulgaris.
However, viewers were left unimpressed.
“Why would you create a show with NO SOUL?” one fan wrote on social media. “Very disappointing.
Do you think Australian audiences are stupid?
We are bored of this same media content that you all just spit out. This needs to go in the bin!”
Viewers Miss The Project
Meanwhile, fans of The Project took to social media to express their disappointment, saying they missed the show and wouldn’t be watching the replacement.
“Keep the accounts open and keep posting! Going by what I saw on Channel 10 tonight, you’re all going to have your jobs back in a heartbeat! Miss it so much already!” one person commented.
Many viewers expressed their disappointment, saying that 10News+ was too serious and lacked the unique approach of The Project.
“Bring back The Project @channel10au!!! You have missed the mark on what we all want to see/feel in the evening — news delivered differently!!!
Miss the gamut of emotions from laughing to crying to sorrow to joy!” another person wrote.
The Project’s Emotional Goodbye
The Project team bid a teary farewell to its fans as it aired its final episode on Friday night.
Co-host Georgie Tunny broke down in tears, saying, “I can’t actually look at you all, I’m so sorry, because you’ve just been an absolute dream to work with.”
It remains to be seen if 10News+ can win back the hearts of its viewers, but for now, it seems like The Project is still the preferred choice for many.
