    Neighbours is a saleable product. While we might not appreciate it , it's a soap masterpiece compared to the crap thats home grown in the UK.

    It's true, for some strange reason Ten gets paid a ridiculous amount of money to export it to the UK. Wouldn't be suprised if they make more profit from the UK license than they do in airing it in Australia.

    I think not all that long ago that a UK company pretty much took over paying for production of Neighbours with the broadcasting fees they were charged.
    Fools and their money...

    Didn't take long for the rumour to be quashed by Ten, but with how much chopping and changing they have done in 6-7pm slot Would it surprise anyone if they messed around more (especially if this chef show flops at 7)?

    Ten's biggest problem is they're of the mindset their network should be the aimed at teen-35 market, as such, they don't really produce their news for the 35+ market, and that's the age bracket more inclined to watch the news, so they'll change to 7, 9, or even Sky News. Once they do that they'll have no need to go back to 10 later on in the night because they'll see the ads for the other stations.
