History

[edit]

Sports format channel

[edit]

The channel commenced broadcasting asOne HDon 26 March 2009 at 7.00 pm in Melbourne (due to live coverage of theAustralian Football League) and at 7.30 pm in Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth.[2]The channel, owned byNetwork Ten,featured nonstop sport content including live sport, sports documentaries and sports-themed movies.[3]

One initially broadcast inhigh definitionon digital channels 1 and 11 with astandard-definitionsimulcast on digital channel 12 known asOne SDorOne Digital.[4][5]At launch, One replaced the previousTen HDservice and a standard-definition simulcast of Ten HD called TenSD2.[5]

One HD began broadcasting on Macquarie Media Group's owned and operated Southern Cross Ten regional television stations on digital channel 50 at 7.00 pm on 2 July 2009.[6][7]Tasmania didn't broadcast it until 30 July 2009,[8]and Mildura didn't broadcast it until 1 December 2009.[9]

The simulcast on digital channel 11 was later reallocated for Ten's standard-definition digital multichannelEleven(now 10 Peach) on 15 December 2010 in preparation for its launch on 11 January 2011. As a result, the channel's high definition simulcast was moved to channel 12, replacing the standard-definition simulcast.

In 2011, the channel began to dilute its all-sport format to include adventure-themed reality programming such asIce Road TruckersandBlack Gold,and a weekly feature-length movie or documentary, usually, but not limited to, a sporting theme. In April 2011, it was revealed that the channel would shift to a more broad general entertainment channel aimed towards a younger male demographic, whilst still featuring sports programming.[10]

Sports and entertainment channel

[edit]

It was confirmed on 4 April 2011 that due to unsupportable overheads associated with running the station as an "all-sport" channel, One HD would begin to air more general entertainment programming alongside sport, particularly shows aimed at an older male audience and would also be rebranded asOne.The changes were intended to make the channel a greater competitor against7mate,which has a similar scope,[11][12]and took place on 8 May 2011.[13]

One's updated schedule included factuals such asEverest: Beyond the Limit,Extreme Fishing with Robson Green,Airline,Long Way Round,Ice Road Truckers,An Idiot Abroad,Cops,dramas such asTerriers,Lights Out,Sons of Anarchy,Burn Notice,Breakout KingsandPsychand films such asThe Last King of Scotland,28 Weeks Later,Babylon AD,Jarhead,Pitch Black,Doom,Hitman,The Manchurian Candidate,Diagnosis MurderandWalker, Texas Ranger.

As a result of the revival of10 HDon 2 March 2016, the channel was reduced to standard definition.[14][15]

10 Boss/10 Bold/Drama

[edit]

On 31 October 2018, One relaunched as10 Boss,as part of a larger rebranding of Network Ten. Chief content officer Beverley McGarvey described "Boss" as reflecting an overall "attitude" in its programming, exemplified by a focus on characters with "bold" personalities or could be reasonably described as being a "Boss" (such asJudge Judy). 10 Boss primarily targets viewers over the age of 40, and focuses primarily on dramas (such asMadam SecretaryandNCIS).[16][17][18][19]

On 10 December 2018, the channel was renamed10 Bold,due totrademarkconflicts withFairfax Media(which had completed its merger withNine Entertainment Co.) and theAustralian Financial ReviewpublicationBoss.A press release promoting the rebranding acknowledged the conflict, describing the change as being an "early Christmas present toNine",and quipping that" it's better to be bold than Boss y ".[20][21]

On 5 June 2024, it was announced that the channel would rebrand as 10 Bold Drama on 12 June 2024, as part of a rebranding of Bold and Peach to include their main genres in their names.[22]

The channel targets a broad range of viewers, broadcasting programs from Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States, and complementing existing programming on Ten.
