10 Bold Drama is an Australian free-to-air digital television multichannel owned by Network 10. It originally launched on 26 March 2009 as One HD with a focus on broadcasting sports-based programming and events, but rebranded to One in April 2011 to more reality, scripted and adventure-based programming aimed at males between the ages of 25 and 54. [1] As of October 2018, the channel now primarily broadcasts dramatic programming aimed towards viewers 40 and older.

History

Sports format channel

The channel commenced broadcasting as One HD on 26 March 2009 at 7.00pm in Melbourne (due to live coverage of the Australian Football League) and at 7.30pm in Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth. [2] The channel, owned by Network Ten, featured nonstop sport content including live sport, sports documentaries and sports-themed movies. [3]

One initially broadcast in high definition on digital channels 1 and 11 with a standard-definition simulcast on digital channel 12 known as One SD or One Digital. [4] [5] At launch, One replaced the previous Ten HD service 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 7.00pm 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 multichannel Eleven (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 as Ice Road Truckers and Black 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

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 as One. The changes were intended to make the channel a greater competitor against 7mate, which has a similar scope, [11] [12] and took place on 8 May 2011. [13]

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

As a result of the revival of 10 HD on 2 March 2016, the channel was reduced to standard definition. [14] [15]

10 Boss (2018)

On 31 October 2018, One relaunched as 10 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 as Judge Judy ). 10 Boss primarily targets viewers over the age of 40, and focuses primarily on dramas (such as Madam Secretary and NCIS ). [16] [17] [18] [19]

10 Bold (2018–2024)

On 10 December 2018, the channel was renamed 10 Bold, due to trademark conflicts with Fairfax Media (which had completed its merger with Nine Entertainment Co.) and the Australian Financial Review publication Boss. A press release promoting the rebranding acknowledged the conflict, describing the change as being an "early Christmas present to Nine", and quipping that "it's better to be bold than bossy". [20] [21]

10 Bold Drama (2024–present)

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]

Programming

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. Programs aired on the channel are scripted and adventure-based programming aimed at males between the ages of 25 and 54, mix of genres, including reality, lifestyle, drama, classic sitcoms from the 60s, 70s and 80s, comedies, live sport and action films.
