The first night of Ten’s new extended new is here. In addition to Ten News at Five, is 6PM with George Negus and Ten Evening News at 6.30. 6PM with George Negus is a national program that promises to go more in depth with national and international stories than what the normal nightly news does.

Joining the 6PM team are Hugh Rimington, Hamish McDonald, Meggie Palmer, Max Futcher, Danielle Isdale, David Taylor, Emily Rice and Emme Dallimore.

George Negus says: “This is an opportunity to put my journalistic mind and body where my mouth has been. What TEN has in mind for the 6PM timeslot is seriously different. I was fortunate enough to be involved in the ground-breaking advent of 60 Minutes. This 6PM concept of TEN’s has the same sort of audacious freshness about it. Stay tuned!”

Ten Evening News at 6.30 is a state based bulletin, with different presenters in each market. In Sydney, it will be hosted by Sandra Sully, who bid farewell to Ten’s Late News after 16 years late in 2010.

Undercover Boss – US Sun Sept 26. Season 2 premieres on Ten Monday Sept 27, 7.30pm. Hours after US airing. But no further eps to be shown for now, due to Australian version airing 8.30pm Mondays, from Oct 18.

Undercovers – US Wed Sept 22. Another one part of Nine’s 2010 shows but not known if it will air in 2010 or not. Like many of these Nine acquisitions, whether they are rushed to air or not will depend on how they perform in the US. THIS HAS BEEN AXED – so if Nine keep the rights, expect it on GO or GEM.

V – US Jan 2011. GO plan to fast track – so possibly on air soon after the US date.

Note: I have not yet included new shows where the Australian network the show is likely to air on is not yet known. These I will add as I find out, and hopefully keep up to date.

Some of these titles include: Lone Star, Running Wild, The Cape, Detroit 1-8-7, Better With You, The Defenders, Outsourced (possibly one for Seven), School Pride, Outlaw, and No Ordinary Family.

If you there is something left out that you know about, or have questions about any of the content, please let us know.

Fast tracking score sheet (0-7 days after US air date):

Australian ratings for 2010 ends November 27. Pretty well everything new, fast tracked or semi fast tracked after that date on the main channels will either go into repeats or disappear until 2011. Therefore, all networks revert to having 0 fast track points after that date with the exception of Survivor and Amazing Race, possibly the Event will continue on Seven due to low ratings.

Ten – 0. Comm Games sees Ten lose their fast track points.
GO! – 2. Hellcats and The Vampire Diaries
Seven - 2. The Event and The Amazing Race S17

Semi-fast tracked (between 7 and 30 days after US air date):

Nine 5 – Survivor Nicaragua, CSI, CSI: Miami, Two and a Half Men and Big Bang Theory. Note Mentalist now outside what I would consider fast tracked. Also Fringe on GO outside of what I consider fast tracked.
Ten 4 – The Good Wife, Glee, House, NCIS – all starting or back in the week after the Comm Games, from Sunday Oct 17. Note – I won’t count new Simpsons, as it looks like the new ep on Friday Oct 15 is a one off, and not regular programming.
Seven 1 – 30 Rock. Criminal Minds misses out as it is more than 30 days after US air date. Bones now gone into repeats from Nov 14 – so no more points there.

Here I’ll define Fast Tracking as airing within 7 days of US date. I’ll have a second category for semi-fast tracked if shows air between 7 days and 1 month of the US air date. Anything beyond a month I would consider not to be fast tracked. The networks may see it differently, but to me, the less than seven days rules is most appropriate as it means we see an episode of a show before the US sees the next one. Whereas, after 7 days, we end up episodes behind, which means it is easy to see spoilers across the internet.

Updated as at Nov 9.

A weeknight AFL game on Thursday July 1 causes a split in Ten programming for that night, and pushes the season finale for Glee out to Thursday July 8.

In Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth and Brisbane, the AFL game between the Brisbane Lions and Carlton will air from 8pm, following Masterchef at 7.30pm, while in Sydney, the game will be seen delayed at 11.15pm.

In Sydney, at 8pm, is a replay of the first episode of Modern Family with regular Thursday night programming to follow. Law and Order SVU is on at 8.30pm and Medium 9.30pm. Both shows have already had an episode of each skipped due to AFL previously on another Thursday night. After Thursday July 1, the AFL markets will have had two episodes skipped, Brisbane one.

Thankfully for those of us not in the market that does not have the AFL, Ten offer relatively normal programming. Fair enough – with how successful Glee is that they leave it of until it can be shown in all markets at once, but at least Ten don’t just give us a third rate movie or a night of repeats in the market not airing the AFL.

The Thursday night AFL game on July 1 also means that Nine’s AFL Footy Show will be shown on Wednesday June 30, around 9.30 or so after Hey Hey’s 10^th episode.

Masterchef remains at 7.30pm in all markets on July 1.
