Joe Hildebrand>Now this is just asking for trouble….

TEN is asking viewers to name its new morning show, which will feature Ita Buttrose and Joe Hildebrand in front a studio audience.

The contest is being hosted on Twitter.

“Viewers are encouraged to submit a name that embodies and reflects the style, tone and pace of the show via Twitter. All they have to do is follow @tenmornings, tweet their entry and include the hash tag #nametheshow,” says TEN.

“The winner will win a seat in the live studio audience for the show’s premiere and take home a Samsung 60 inch Smart TV and Home Theatre System.”

So far the answers are pretty cynical.

  1. forget about tens new morning show, have you heard the latest news on the Sunrise and Mel leaving saga?

    She was told she was leaving sunrise and if she wanted to continue working for seven she would have to take a $150,000.00 a year pay cut.

    She will host the 4:30 afternoon news but its more of a demotion than a promotion. to help sweeten the deal a little they are given her a national news program with Matt White on 7two.

    If I was her I would have called my old boss (Adam Boland) and asked for a job on his new breakfast or morning show on ten.

    Speaking of which I just saw a video of Joe Hilderbrand. why are they putting him on tv?

  3. A few serious suggestions this time – “Break of Day”, “Brand New Day”, “New Day Australia” (might have a few problems with 2UE with that one), “Up and At ‘Em”, “Rise and Shine”. Failing that they can always revive the Good Morning Australia name.

  8. Haha, I needed a good laugh. I am loving all the suggestions! It also shows that “social media” is not just a buzzword or panacea that marketers can use to sound hip and cool.

  12. I am sure Ita is wishing she had an escape clause already. Having to put up with the most overrated unfunny “personality” on tv would be a nightmare…Have to turn the channel whenever he appears on tv. Cannot bear watching him laugh at his lame jokes.

  13. I’d call it “The Daybreakers”.

    Can’t wait to see the show once it gets going. A lot of hate for Joe and Ita so far – remember there are still 3 more hosts to be announced.

  14. Look at the line-up so far… why bother naming it? It will be cancelled in no time. Two right wing people so far… may as well re-import Paul Henry and add Andrew Bolt. Ten is seriously losing the appeal it used to have before Murdoch took it over, seemingly wanting to corner the AM radio talkback market with these clowns.

  21. If Twitter can help oust a government in Egypt, maybe we could use Twitter to rid Australia of more inane morning TV programs and dull reality shows.
