The loss of Studio 10 will doubtless be felt by those in the industry, given morning television is a space for live performances and promotion of arts & entertainment.
Today Angela Bishop told viewers, “What I’m so proud of, and I know you are too Tristan, is the support we’ve been able to give great Australian artists on this show. They’ve been able to do live performances.
“We’ve had authors, we’ve had poets, we’ve had playwrights, we’ve had huge Hollywood stars and up and coming actors and actresses.
“We’ve had dancers, we’ve had big music stars performing and some that you’ve never heard of, but maybe you went out and bought their song after you saw them on Studio 10. That’s a passion of mine, the artists of Australia, and to be able to platform them here….”
She continued, “The way our production crew was able to show them off, some of those performances we did, I’m just so enormously proud of that.
“I had a whole lot of, particularly musos, reach out to me last night, just to say thanks for that opportunity.
“Because there aren’t many places left on Australian television where you get the chance to do a live music performance.
“And I think that’s going to be really missed.”
Studio 10 wraps on December 22 on 10.

No one became a star from Studio 10. There were, at best, only ever 50,000 people watching, and the vast majority of those were 55+. Social videos may have performed a bit better, but anyone can make and post those.
It would be great if one of the networks would be a night/variety show, even if weekly like Rove Live back in the day. Sadly the viewership just isn’t there late at night. We have very different viewing habits to the US, and a late show is just cost prohibitive.
Ten should do Loose Women Australia over 90 minute epsiode. We need an opinion panel based show again miss that format!!
Australia really does need a tonight show
When it started out with a whole panel & was still opinion based kind of similar to shows like The view & The talk it’s was interesting, i think their failure was that the hosts were very similar to each other & seen as older bogans without any real diversity (by diversity i point more towards opinion & views rather than race, gender or sexuality). The show back in the day was targeting a much older audiences than what other shows target & I feel like that was their downfall. The original format really needed a mix of their older panel as well as a younger panellist or panellists so the they could bridge a young demographic and an Older demographic like no other show does. I think panel shows like the original Studio 10 are important for discussion and diverse opinions in society, their failure was focusing on one demographic. I would love for it to be replaced with an Australian equivalent of The view that can bring other views to people rather than just be a new news show like 7 & 9
Yeah this is what I miss about things like rove and hey hey. They’d allow live performances on them but when they went what was left? Morning TV and maybe a spot on x factor, etc.
Wish Australia could have a live tonight show or whatever to allow performances and guests again.
+1.
The loss of primetime variety shows (Rove, Hey Hey, The Panel etc) hasn’t helped. These days, music acts go on brekky tv or a reality show singing comp to release their new song/album. Not much of a choice, sadly.
