  1. Seal Team, Evil are not first run on FTA anymore, they have been moved behind the paywall on Paramount+.
    Airing 4 eps of S3 of Nancy Drew then moving it behind the pay wall on Paramount+ can’t really be counted as a first run on FTA. There isn’t much point in watching multichannels anymore, there is much more stuff available for streaming anytime, and 10 has just set up channels on 10 play with old shows to watch.

  2. Thank goodness for the multi channels, especially Ten Bold. Being over 60 there is limited TV viewing on any of the main channels. SBS has some documentaries & movies as well from time to time that are good. As Cats PJ said there is not much to bridge the age gap. Being over 40 is not the same as being over 60.

  3. In my opinion, the 10 Peach channel could be considered to be a good example of providing a time filler for those who have limited TV viewing time, these people usually watch while eating a meal or just just like to spend an hour or two relaxing before preparing for bed. I have family members who habitually watch these multi-channels for that reason, and I would imagine that parents would love a few additional add on channels for their children to watch in the morning and afternoon as well. Well used continually popular shows like The Big Bang Theory suits the light entertainment category most preferred by time limited TV viewers.

  4. None of this helps to bridge the “age gap” when stations decide to be ageist and target shows and channels depending on age (except for kids TV,) multi channels all have one thing in common they are mostly a recycling facility for old TV shows.

    1. I’m 95% sure Neighbours will air on 10.

      It could always change, of course, but to me, their intent at this stage is for it to air on 10, especially if the rumours around cutting down The Project’s runtime are true.

  5. I find multi channels seem to be all over the place. No real identify in place. 10 should make Bold into just a Crime & Investigation channel. They have an extensively library.
