''6.30 with George Negus'' is an Australian television current affairs program broadcast on Network Ten. It aired at 6:30pm from Monday to Friday and was presented by George Negus (Monday - Thursday) and Hugh Riminton or Hamish Macdonald (Friday) from the TEN studios in Pyrmont, Sydney. It premiered at 6pm on 24 January 2011. On 19 October 2011 network TEN officially announced that 6:30 with George Negus had been cancelled as a result of low ratings. The final episode of the series aired on 28 October 2011 in what was the show's 200th episode. The series was replaced by an extended version of ''The 7pm Project'' which was consequently retitled as ''The Project''. ==History== In August 2010, Network Ten announced that it would spend an additional $20 million per year to strengthen its news and current affairs output. Those changes included launching a 6pm national current affairs program, followed by local half-hour news bulletins at 6:30pm. On 8 October 2010, it was announced that George Negus would leave SBS's ''Dateline'' to join Network Ten. Negus confirmed a day later that he would be hosting Ten's new 6pm program. The first edition of ''6PM with George Negus'' aired on Monday 24 January 2011.〔 In March 2011, Network Ten announced that it would be moving the program to 6:30pm in an effort to address persistently poor ratings for its early evening schedule. The changes, introduced on Monday 4 April 2011, led to Ten's local news bulletins at 5:00pm being extended by a further 30 minutes with Negus' program in direct competition with the Nine Network's ''A Current Affair'' and the Seven Network's ''Today Tonight''.〔 On 19 October 2011, Network TEN announced that they had cancelled the program and replace it with an hour-long version of ''The 7PM Project'', renamed ''The Project'' at 6:30pm after very poor ratings. The 200th and final ever edition of ''6.30 with George Negus'' aired on Friday 28 October 2011.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「6.30 with George Negus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
