Georgie Tunny Announces New TV Gig Following Project Axing

The Project’s Georgie Tunny has announced her new gig following Channel Ten’s shock decision to axe the long-running news program.

The 34-year-old revealed on Thursday she will be joining Ten’s new current affairs program 10 News+.

‘I’ve always been a fan of news delivered differently and am excited to be staying with the 10 family,’ she told news.com.au.

‘Can’t wait to see where this new chapter leads!’

10 News+, hosted by recently poached Seven journalists Denham Hitchcock and Amelia Brace, made its debut on Monday night.

It has received mixed reviews from viewers, with many sharing their thoughts on X.

Several compared 10 News+ to A Current Affair with one posting: ‘This is like ACA. Going to people’s houses to talk and them avoiding the cameras.’

‘You replaced The Project with a Temu ACA not seeing @theprojecttv is incredibly depressing. 10news+ sucks!’ complained another viewer.

Someone else said: ‘This is proper @Channel7 style commercial JUNK. It’s like watching a cross between Fox News and Anchorman. Why the silly ‘news’ voices!?’

One more person tuning in at home asked: ‘Anyone else bored so far?’ while someone else said, ‘please no more long investigation reports it’s 6pm’.

‘Oh dear. I thought I would give 10 News Plus a go.I feel like we have regressed 20 years! An inauthentic painfully choreographed attempt at current affairs!’ one said.

‘Dribble. Won’t last the year’ a viewer said with another adding, ‘Felt like it was a Comedy Company parody from the 80s. The fist pump at the end? Yikes.’

Not everyone was so negative with one fan writing: ‘Loving @10NewsPlus – strong launch story. Is this the new Schapelle Corby story we all need to know about. 10 news should be very proud.’

The first episode included an investigation on drug-smuggling Melbourne mum Debbie Voulgaris and a sit-down chat with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. 

The Project aired its final episode last Friday night.

It was announced last month that it would be pulled from the schedule after 16 years and more than 4,500 episodes.

The Project hosts Waleed Aly, Sarah Harris and Hamish Macdonald are set to exit the network, while comedian Taunton will continue his guest appearances on other Ten shows.
