2012 has been a year to forget for…
In this roundup from the Encore and Mumbrella Annual, we look at the people and companies who would rather forget about 2012.
1. Ten
From ratings bombs Breakfast, Everybody Dance Now, The Shire and I Will Survive to the departure of 16-year programming veteran David Mott and a round of voluntary redundancies for the network’s journalists announced in October, it hasn’t been the best year for Ten. There were moments of hope in the program schedule with dramas Puberty Blues and Underground, The Julian Assange Story well received, but it’s expected to take CEO James Warburton three to five years to resurrect the network.
2. Fairfax and News Limited
Also a terrible year for Cordell Jigsaw Zapruderr. Lots of failed shows.
-Randling.- Flop & axed
-Dumb Drunk and Racist – mediocre at best
-Bondi Rescure – Axed.
-Great Southern Land – Expensive flop.
-Can of Worms – Flop.
