Channel 10 has announced programming for 2023.
The biggest news from the station’s Upfronts presentation — a media-buyer event where a TV network promotes its upcoming year — is that current affairs program The Project is staying put despite rumors of it having to deal with the ax due to low ratings. .
Ten has pledged to continue broadcasting the Rove McManus-produced news show for another year, which, in addition to its viewing problems, is sometimes criticized for its left-wing bias.
