The network's flagship news program airs at 5 PM on weekday evenings covering local, national and world news, including sport and weather. Weekend editions are presented nationally from Network 10's studios in Pyrmont, Sydney.
The news division also assists in the production of Network 10's prime-time current affairs program The Project, and produced in association with CBS News. It also draws upon the resources of ITN, APTN and Reuters for select international coverage outside that of its owners Paramount Global.

## History

Network 10 introduced its news service on 2 August 1964 in Melbourne, before it was introduced in Sydney on 5 April 1965. and was a pioneering force behind the concept of the hour-long news bulletin with co-anchors in the form of Eyewitness News from 1973 onwards. The 1980s were the network's most successful period as a news provider with its local Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane bulletins often rating highest for their 6pm timeslots. Network 10's flagship national nightly bulletin news services has undergone a number of name changes since inception in 1965 including: TEN News, TEN Evening News, and Ten Eyewitness News, whilst state bulletins titles have included ATV News in Melbourne, SASNEWS in Adelaide and Newswatch in Brisbane.
A major change to the service occurred on 20 January 1992 when all five of its local bulletins were moved to the 5.00pm time slot. In 1994 all local weekend bulletins were axed across the network and replaced by a 30-minute network bulletin from Sydney – Ten Weekend News, initially presented by John Gatfield and later by Tracey Spicer, Natarsha Belling and Bill Woods.
In September 1994, Ten Eyewitness News branding was replaced with Ten News until September 2013, It also introduced Ten News theme composed by Les Gock since 1994.
A localised version of Ten Weekend News was received from Sydney for Perth, while during the Australian Football League season Adelaide and Melbourne viewers received local news on a Saturday, presented from Melbourne by George Donikian. For a short period in 2009, Ten Weekend News also included localised sport inserts for each market.
10 News First has often been described as a 'training ground' for some of Australia's best-known television journalists. Some of the best-known reporters and presenters who launched or spent a major part of their careers at Network 10 include Jana Wendt, Kerry O'Brien, Katrina Lee, Charles Slade, Ann Sanders, Steve Liebmann, Tim Webster, Ron Wilson, Anne Fulwood, Juanita Phillips, Harry Potter, Liz Hayes, Jo Pearson, David Johnson, Bill McDonald, Chris Masters, Larry Emdur, Eddie McGuire, John Gatfield, Kay McGrath, Graeme Goodings, Sharyn Ghidella, Laurie Oakes, Geraldine Doogue, Helen Kapalos, Jennifer Keyte, Deborah Knight, Bruce McAvaney, Nathan Templeton, Mel McLaughlin, Karl Stefanovic, Mark Beretta, Amber Sherlock and George Donikian amongst others.
In September 2010, the network announced a major expansion of its news service. From 24 January 2011, It expanded its evening news output by introducing a national current affairs program at 6pm, 6PM with George Negus (later 6.30 with George Negus), and an additional local bulletin at 6:30pm on weeknights, under the Ten Evening News brand. In addition, the network announced the re-introduction of local weekend bulletins at 6pm and the axing of its 5pm national bulletin.
Two months after the relaunch, the national weekend bulletins were re-introduced owing to poor ratings, although the 6pm local bulletins continued to air. Later that month, the network dropped its 6:30pm local bulletins on weeknights, extended Ten News at Five to 90 minutes and moved George Negus' program to 6:30pm each weeknight. The changes were introduced on Monday 4 April 2011.
Further changes in September 2011 saw the axing of the network's late night bulletin and the state-based 6pm weekend bulletins. The 5pm national bulletin on Saturdays and Sundays was extended to 90 minutes a month later. Later that month, the network axed 6.30 with George Negus and replaced it with an hour-long version of The 7PM Project (renamed The Project). In November 2011, the last half-hour of Network 10's 5pm state bulletins were rebranded as Ten News at Six. Two months later, the main 5pm bulletin was shortened back to 60 minutes from Sunday 22 January 2012 with The Project moved to 6pm.
The network's Ten Early News bulletin was axed in February 2012 following the launch of Network 10's Breakfast program. More changes during the year saw the return of a networked Ten Late News in a new format launched on 4 June 2012, and the axing of Breakfast on 30 November 2012, due to low ratings and cost-cutting measures at the network.
On 15 September 2013, Network 10 reintroduced the Eyewitness News branding for all of its news output, including the flagship 5pm state bulletins. Two months later, a new breakfast program, Wake Up, was launched.
On 21 May 2014, Network 10 announced it would axe Wake Up and all national news bulletins on weekdays as part of a wider cost-cutting program with the loss of around 150 jobs, caused by poor ratings and advertising revenue. The network also closed its two international bureaux in Los Angeles and London. As of 2018, the state-based 5pm news continues to air, alongside national bulletins at weekends.
In February 2014, Network 10 announced that Hugh Riminton would join Sandra Sully as a co-anchor of the bulletin. In November 2014, Candice Wyatt joined Stephen Quartermain as a co-anchor and finally in August 2015 Lachlan Kennedy joined Georgina Lewis as a co-anchor in Brisbane.
On 16 May 2016, Ten Eyewitness News updated their set and graphics. However, the logo remained unchanged.
In January 2017, the three east coast metro bulletins (Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane) returned to solo anchors with Hugh Riminton, Candice Wyatt and Lachlan Kennedy returning to reporting duties in February.
On 1 November 2018, alongside a major network relaunch, the Ten Eyewitness News branding was replaced with 10 News First.
On 2 December 2019, the 5pm edition of 10 News First was extended to 90 minutes.
On 11 August 2020, Ten announced it would transfer studio presentation of the Brisbane and Perth bulletins to Sydney with the Adelaide bulletin moved to Melbourne. Reporters, camera crews and editorial staff were retained in Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth. Between February 2023 and August 2024, the changes were periodically reversed, with the Adelaide and Melbourne bulletins reinstated as separate editions that month, production of the Perth bulletin returning to Subiaco the following month, and the Sydney and Brisbane bulletins reinstated as separate editions from September 2024.
In October 2023, Ten announced that its flagship 5:00 pm bulletins would be reduced to 60 minutes from 2024, to make room for a revival of Deal or No Deal while it will also reintroduce a late night news bulletin, which will be streamed live digitally via 10Play ahead of a delayed broadcast on the main channel. An afternoon bulletin, titled 10 News First: Afternoons, was also introduced in 2024, premiering on 29 January 2024.

## National bulletins
### 10 News First: Lunchtime

10 News First: Lunchtime airs weekdays at 1:00 pm and is presented from the network's Sydney studios by Narelda Jacobs with entertainment presented by Angela Bishop. Initially airing at 12:00 pm and titled 10 News First: Midday, the bulletin launched on Monday 9 January 2023, transitioning from the axed 10 News First: Breakfast in December 2022. Fill-in presenters for the bulletin include Ursula Heger, Lachlan Kennedy, Hugh Riminton, Kate Freebairn, Amanda Hart and Angela Bishop.

### 10 News First: Afternoon

10 News First: Afternoon airs weekdays at 3.30pm and is presented from the network's Sydney studios by Narelda Jacobs. The bulletin launched on Monday 29 January 2024.

### 10 Late News

10 Late News airs weeknights at 10:30 pm and is presented from the network's Sydney studios by Ursula Heger. The bulletin is streamed live on 10Play and YouTube at 10:00 pm AEST, followed by a delayed broadcast on television at 10:30 pm local time.
The network's first late news bulletin, Ten Evening News: Crisis in the Gulf, was hosted by veteran newsreader Eric Walters and was part of the network's coverage of the First Gulf War in January 1991. Walters hosted for four months before being replaced by Anne Fulwood as host of the 30-minute Ten Second Edition News, later Ten Late News, at 10:30pm until her resignation to join the Seven Network in November 1995, whereupon she was replaced by Sandra Sully, who would go on to host the bulletin for most of the next 16 years. The bulletin also aired on weekends, hosted by Tracey Spicer, until the Saturday and Sunday editions were axed in 2004 and 2005 respectively.
In 2006, the bulletin was merged with the late weeknight edition of Sports Tonight on Monday through Thursday nights. Due to declining ratings and increased competition, the bulletin was axed with the final week of episodes hosted by Sandra Sully (news) and Brad McEwan (Sports Tonight) on Monday through Thursday, and Tim Webster on Friday 30 September 2011. Sully became co-host of Sydney's evening bulletin alongside Bill Woods.
The bulletin was revived on 4 June 2012 in a new magazine-style format, hosted by Hamish Macdonald. In September 2013, the bulletin was rebranded as Ten Eyewitness News: Late and Danielle Isdale replaced Macdonald after he resigned later that same month. Hugh Riminton later replaced Isdale as host and the bulletin returned to a standard news bulletin format. The bulletin was again axed in May 2014 alongside the early and morning news bulletins.

### Weekend edition

The weekend edition of 10 News First airs on Saturday and Sunday evenings at 5pm and is presented from the network's Sydney studios by Chris Bath with sport presenter Scott Mackinnon and weather presenter Amanda Jason.
The national bulletin was introduced in 1994 to replace state-based bulletins (excluding Adelaide and Perth, who had state-based weekend bulletins until early 1996) but axed in January 2011 ahead of the reintroduction of local editions at 6pm. The national edition was reinstated two months later in the wake of poor ratings. The 6pm local bulletins continued to air until October 2011 when the 5pm national news was extended to 90 minutes.
Until July 2014, a separate edition for Perth and Western Australia was also broadcast from the Pyrmont studios in Sydney. The lack of a separate up-to-date edition of Ten Eyewitness News Weekend for Perth has led to criticisms when outdated time-sensitive news has been broadcast in Western Australia, as in the case of a local 8-year-old junior drag racing accident victim who had died in hospital several hours prior to Ten airing the three-hour-old national bulletin reporting that she was still alive. Localised Sydney-produced weekend editions were restored for Perth and Western Australia by late 2018. Then weeknight presenter Narelda Jacobs presented the Perth edition until she was reappointed to present the weeknight bulletins for Perth in September 2020; Bath would present both the national and Perth editions of the weekend news ever since.
In December 2018, it was announced that Natarsha Belling would move to Studio 10 in 2019 to present news updates throughout the show. Belling was replaced by Chris Bath.
The bulletin has previously been presented by Natarsha Belling, Hermione Kitson, Mike Munro, Matt Doran, Bill Woods, Steve Liebmann, Tracey Spicer and John Gatfield.
Fill-in presenters include Hugh Riminton and Lachlan Kennedy (news).

In October 2011, Sandra Sully replaced Deborah Knight following the axing of Ten Late News. Knight left the network to join the Nine Network as a Nine News presenter and Weekend Today as a news presenter.
Bill Woods left the network on 30 November 2012 after his contract was not renewed as part of cost-cutting measures. Ron Wilson was also set to leave on the same day, however he stayed until the 28th December that year as he presented his final bulletin for Ten News after being employed there for 34 years. He then moved back to radio in April 2013 as a newsreader and radio announcer for smoothfm.

Fill-in presenters include Hugh Riminton, Lachlan Kennedy, Narelda Jacobs (news) and Amanda Hart (weather).

### Melbourne

10 News First Melbourne is presented from ATV-10's Como Centre studios in South Yarra by Jennifer Keyte with sport presenter Stephen Quartermain (Monday - Thursday) and Caty Price (Friday) and weather presenter Jayde Cotic.
The network's Melbourne news operation was originally based at the Nunawading studios until a move to the Como Centre in 1992.
Mal Walden joined ATV-10 in April 1987, shortly after his abrupt sacking by HSV-7 - he took over the weekday 5pm bulletin in 1996 alongside Jennifer Hansen who was replaced by Helen Kapalos in 2006. Kapalos was sacked in November 2012 amid cost-cutting measures at the network. Walden anchored the bulletin solo until his retirement in December 2013.
George Donikian was the main male fill-in during the 2000s, including presenting the Saturday 6pm bulletin during the AFL broadcasting rights. He retired in October 2011. Sport presenter Stephen Quartermain then assumed that role, though he had filled-in as news presenter during various times in the past, when Donikian was unavailable.
Mignon Stewart (née Henne) was the main female fill-in for Jennifer Hansen and Helen Kapalos during the 2000s (including for an extended stint in early 2006 before Kapalos started). There was no female fill-in for much of 2008 and 2009. Hermione Kitson became the female fill-in during 2010 and moved to Sydney in 2012.
During the 2000s, occasionally due to availability and network commitments, Walden or Kapalos would present solo (particularly after major events such as the AFL Grand Final).
Traffic Reporter Vanessa O'Hanlon left after six years (2003–2008) in 2008 for ABC News Breakfast. Emma Notarfrancesco left after four and a half years (2010–2015), to work for Formula 1's Australian media team on Friday 20 February 2015. Jimmy Wirtanen then returned to the role.

Other previous presenters include Geoff Mullins, Tracey Spicer, Brad McEwan and Bill McDonald, who left in November 2012 when his contract was not renewed due to cost-cutting measures.
In September 2020, studio production for the Brisbane bulletin was transferred to Sydney with a single bulletin containing opt-outs of local news, sport and weather for Sydney and Brisbane alongside shared content. Georgina Lewis, presenter of 13 years, and sports presenter Jonathan Williams were among those that were made redundant in the restructure with the final Brisbane-based bulletin broadcast on 11 September 2020.
On 15 August 2024, it was announced that presentation of the Brisbane bulletin would be segregated from the composite Sydney bulletin, and return to the Mt Coot-tha studio from 2 September 2024, with Sharyn Ghidella returning to Network 10 for the first time in more than thirty years.

### Adelaide

10 News First Adelaide is presented from TEN-10's Sydney studios in Pyrmont by Kate Freebairn (Monday-Thursday), while from ADS-10's Adelaide studios in Eastwood by Tiffany Warne (Friday) with sport presenter Max Burford, and weather presenters Tiffany Warne (Monday-Thursday) and Josh Webster (Friday) also present from Adelaide.
Fill in presenters include Alan Murrel (News).
The Adelaide bulletin is simulcast to Port Lincoln, the Upper Spencer Gulf of South Australia and the city of Broken Hill in New South Wales via Southern Cross 10, and to the Riverland and the South East areas of South Australia via 10 South Australia.
In 2000, studio production for the 5pm Adelaide bulletin was moved to the network's Melbourne studios in South Yarra. The bulletin was presented from Melbourne for the next decade while sport and weather segments were still presented locally from the station's studios in North Adelaide and subsequently, from 2007, in newly-built studios in Hutt Street. Initially, then-presenters George Donikian and Nikki Dwyer relocated from Adelaide to present the new Melbourne based bulletin. After 8 years co-anchoring with Donikian, Dwyer eventually resigned as presenter in late 2000 after she decided to move back to Adelaide, to begin starting a family. Dwyer was subsequently replaced as presenter by Kelly Nestor who resigned in 2006 and was succeeded by Rebecca Morse.
On 21 January 2011, George Donikian presented his final Melbourne-based bulletin for Ten News Adelaide. Studio presentation subsequently returned to ADS-10's Adelaide studios on 24 January 2011, to coincide with the launch of the short-lived 6:30pm local bulletin. Rebecca Morse relocated with the bulletin to Adelaide while Donikian remained in Melbourne, co-presenting the Melbourne edition of Ten News at Five with Helen Kapalos for two months before being reduced to Fridays only, as well as presenting the localised weekend edition. Jane Reilly retired as weather presenter in April 2013 after 37 years and was succeeded by Kate Freebairn. A year later, Mark Aiston resigned as sport presenter.
In September 2020, studio production for the Adelaide bulletin was transferred back to Melbourne with a single bulletin containing opt-outs of local news, sport and weather for Adelaide and Melbourne alongside shared content. Rebecca Morse, presenter of 14 years, and sports presenter Will Goodings were among those that were made redundant in the restructure with the final Adelaide-based bulletin broadcast on 11 September 2020. In February 2022, the Adelaide newsroom was relocated to newly-built offices on Greenhill Road in Eastwood.
The Adelaide and Melbourne bulletins were separated on 3 February 2023; studio production of the Adelaide bulletin was moved to the network's Sydney studios, where Freebairn is now based, to present a new solo bulletin for Adelaide.

### Perth

10 News First Perth is presented from NEW-10's Perth studios in Subiaco by Natalie Forrest with sports presenter Lachy Reid and weather presenter Beau Pearson.
The Perth bulletin is simulcast to most of regional Western Australia via 10 Western Australia.
Production of the Perth bulletin was initially moved to Pyrmont in 2000, citing high costs of converting the network's Dianella studios. Then-presenters Greg Pearce and Christina Morrissy relocated to Sydney to present the bulletin, whilst sport and weather segments were still presented locally from the station's studios in Dianella. Morrissy later resigned from these duties after suffering deep vein thrombosis on a flight and was replaced by Celina Edmonds. Pearce also later resigned to return to Perth, while Edmonds resigned to spend more time with her family. She then moved to Sky News Australia as a presenter and reporter.
Following their departures, Tim Webster and Charmaine Dragun became the main presenters of Ten News Perth from 2005. After Dragun's untimely death on 2 November 2007, Webster remained as the solo presenter and continued to present the bulletin until 2 May 2008, after which presenting duties were rotated between Ron Wilson, Narelda Jacobs, Deborah Knight and Sandra Sully in Sydney for the seven weeks between Webster's departure and the relocation of the bulletin back to Perth.
On 18 January 2008, it was announced that studio production of Ten News would return to Perth. The network denied that the move was related to the death of Charmaine Dragun as the decision to switch production had been made well beforehand. Narelda Jacobs began presenting in the Sydney studios in May 2008 before Ten News Perth presentation returned to the Dianella studios on Monday 23 June 2008.
In December 2016, Network 10 moved into new offices in Subiaco, relocating from Dianella.
In December 2019, it was announced that former Today Tonight presenter Monika Kos would replace Jacobs as anchor from 13 January 2020 with Jacobs to move to Sydney to co-host Studio 10.
In September 2020, studio production for the Perth bulletin was transferred back to Sydney with Narelda Jacobs returning as anchor. The bulletin continued to air live with sports news presented from the Perth newsroom.
On 13 March 2023, presentation of the Perth bulletin once again returned to the Subiaco studio as a trial, with Natalie Forrest as anchor. In December 2023, it was announced that the bulletin would remain in Perth.

## Former bulletins
### 10 News First: Breakfast

10 News First: Breakfast aired weekdays at 8am and was presented from the network's Sydney studios by Lachlan Kennedy (Monday – Wednesday) and from the network's Melbourne studios by Natasha Exelby (Thursday & Friday). The half-hour bulletin was launched on Monday 27 June 2022, but was discontinued December that year due to poor ratings and transitioned into the later-airing 10 News First: Midday (later 10 News First: Lunchtime) the following January.

### Ten Eyewitness News: Early

The network's early morning news program began as Ten Early News in January 2006, airing for one hour at 6am weekday mornings and featuring a number of segments unique to its timeslot, such as morning newspaper headlines from the country's major papers. The last edition aired on Wednesday 22 February 2012 in preparation of the earlier-than-scheduled launch of Network 10's Breakfast program. The bulletin was revived on 4 November 2013 as Ten Eyewitness News: Early, airing from 5:30am to 6:30am on weekdays, immediately preceding the network's new breakfast program Wake Up.
The bulletin was originally presented by Bill Woods until he became a presenter for the Sydney edition of Ten News at Five, switching roles with Ron Wilson. For the revival, Hermione Kitson anchored alongside sports presenter Scott Mackinnon and weather presenter Amanda Jason.
The final edition of the early news aired on Friday 23 May 2014, when the bulletin was axed alongside the morning and late news bulletins.

### Ten Eyewitness News: Morning

Ten originally aired a late morning news program from 1980 until cost-cutting measures led to its axing ten years later. It was revived in 1994 and presented by David Johnston from the Melbourne newsroom. From 1994 - 2000 and August - December 2005, Ten Morning News would air after the successful Good Morning Australia with Bert Newton. In 1996, Jason Cameron took over as presenter for the next four years until production was moved to 10's Pyrmont news centre in Sydney, where the bulletin was hosted by Tracey Spicer and Natarsha Belling. In 2004, the bulletin briefly moved to midday (then called Ten News at Noon) to compete against the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's own World at Noon – a decision which proved unpopular.
In 2007, after Tracey Spicer left the network the previous year, Natarsha Belling became the face of the bulletin and continued the role right through to the start of 2012.
During 2010 and 2011, the bulletin aired for one hour at 9am, before The Circle. The bulletin was retired with the launch of Breakfast but returned upon the axing of The Circle in late August 2012, this time airing at 10am on weekdays, presented by Ron Wilson.
The program was axed again on Friday 30 November 2012, marking the final full-length national news to be presented by Ron Wilson after 33 years with Network 10. A morning news bulletin was again revived on 4 November 2013 with the launch of Ten Eyewitness News: Morning, anchored by Matt Doran with sports presenter Scott Mackinnon and weather presenter Amanda Jason.
Another round of cost-cutting measures led to the morning news being axed again on Friday 23 May 2014, alongside the early and late news bulletins.
