The announcement comes after a crushing financial blow to Channel 10’s U.S. parent company cast a dark cloud over the Australian broadcaster’s future.
ViacomCBS stock fell by a whopping 55 per cent in the space of a week in March, throwing the media conglomerate into turmoil.
And a beleaguered Channel 10 could pay a price for the losses, with ‘devastating cuts’ on the horizon, according to industry website TV Blackbox.
When the U.S. media giant’s share price dipped in 2020, it was followed by a series of savage cuts to Channel 10 that claimed the scalps of beloved network stars Kerri-Anne Kennerley and weatherman Tim Bailey.

ViacomCBS share prices went into freefall, plummeting from a record US$100.34 on March 22 to a price of US$44.60 on April 1.
The corporation had ‘been beset by a confluence of factors that… crashed its stock price’ reported Yahoo! Finance on Tuesday.
Those factors included a recent stock offering designed to help fund investment in streaming content that diluted the share price, and several analyst downgrades on the company.
