Studio 10 is an Australian morning talk show on Network Ten. The show is presented by Ita Buttrose, Joe Hildebrand, Sarah Harris, Jessica Rowe and Denise Drysdale. The show airs between 8:30 am and 11:00 am on weekdays and a highlights show airs between 8:30 am and 11:00 am on weekends.

History

On 9 June 2013, Network Ten announced a new mid-morning show to replace The Circle which it cancelled the year previously. Ita Buttrose was the first presenter of the program to be named, her appointment drew much media attention as she was 71 years of age at the time.[1] It was later announced Joe Hildebrand, Sarah Harris and Jessica Rowe would also be presenters on the new program[2] The program would be filmed from Ten's Sydney studios in front of a live studio audience. It was later announced it would premiere on 4 November 2013 as part of Ten's brand new morning lineup which also included the short lived breakfast program Wake Up

[3] On 11 November 2013, Buttrose served as a guest on Tens then breakfast show, Wake Up. Network Ten had planned to transport her from Wake Up's Manly studio to Tens Pyrmont studios by water taxi across Sydney Harbour in time for Studio 10 and film her journey with an overhead helicopter. However, due to poor weather Buttrose's water taxi became stranded, meaning she missed most of Studio 10.[4][5]

In December 2013, Studio 10 began airing on Saturday and Sunday mornings. These editions of the program contain highlights of both Studio 10 and Wake Up

On 25 December 2013, Studio 10 became the first Australian morning or breakfast television program to air on Christmas morning. This edition of the program was pre-recorded in full with all new content. However, its counterpart, Wake Up did not air.

On 10 March 2014, Studio 10 interviewed Justin Lyons, the cameraman who was with Steve Irwin when he died. The interview made headlines around the world with Irwin's last words revealed as "I'm dying"[6] The final half-hour of the program was originally known as Studio 10 You with a focus on health and beauty, however that branding was later dropped. A separate edition of the program airs in Perth, with a mix of local content as well as interviews, segments and features from the East Coast version[7]

On 15 July 2014, Sarah Harris went on leave, to marry her fiancé. Network Ten announced that Natarsha Belling would fill in for her position as co-host. On 14 November 2014, Sarah Harris again left her position for a month to host a local version of Shark Tank. Natarsha Belling filled her position.

In late 2015, Buttrose announced she will appear on the show just two mornings a week from 2016 to spend more time with her grandchildren with Denise Drysdale to join the panel for the remaining three shows.

On 28 January 2016 the show broadcast episode 584, eclipsing the number of episodes produced by its predecessor, The Circle

Ratings

Studio 10's first broadcast rated low, averaging only 61,000 viewers nationally, behind its rivals The Morning Show and Mornings[9] These figures dropped dramatically within weeks.'[10] In an effort to build ratings, unlike its rivals Studio 10 remained on air for the entirety of the summer 2013/14 period'[11][12] This strategy worked, its viewership numbers over the summer period slowly built up to an average of 65,000 with its Christmas Day edition watched by 85,000 people nationally.

Since the beginning of the 2014 ratings season, Studio 10 has averaged 50,000 viewers an episode. Despite this, Ten CEO Hamish McLennan has stated that the show is "performing well" and subsequently was not axed along with its lead in Wake Up in May 2014.[13]

Over the 2014/2015 summer period whilst TMS and Mornings were on hiatus, Studio Ten received more than 100,000 nationally numerous times.

Following the axing of Wake Up, Studio 10 suffered a brief decline in ratings, before quickly doubling its ratings average[14][15]

Reception

It has been described as similar to its predecessor The Circle and an Australian version of The View.[16]
