Channel Ten to cut the 6pm re-runs of the Simpsons:
News.com
Apparently it costs $25,000 an episode to air, (for repeats!!!) and since Channel 10 is a regular third at 6pm, it makes sense financially to drop it.
Not sure the extra 30 minutes of news will be a good idea, channel Ten's news is always a bit sparse in the "real news" section, and I doubt they will go for something more like SBS World News...
And how can you cut the Simpsons and keep neighbours?
