‘Wake Up’ Officially Cancelled, Network Ten Staff in for “Difficult, Sad Period”

Network Ten has officially given the axe to its struggling breakfast show Wake Up, amid deep cuts that will see up to 150 jobs lost from the station. CEO Hamish McLennan broke the news to staff in an email earlier today, telling them that Wake Up, as well as the Early, Morning and Late News will cease production as of this Friday 23rd of May.

“We are in a constant, fierce battle for the attention of viewers and we need to ensure that we are investing in the areas that will deliver the greatest potential in terms of audiences and revenue,” he said. “The next few weeks will be a difficult and sad period, as colleagues leave the business.”
