Ten’s Head of Programming, Daniel Monaghan said: ‘We are thrilled to be adding 10 Shake to our family of channels.’
‘It’s a fantastic proposition for Australian viewers and includes a great array of content from ViacomCBS, a lot of which has never aired on free to air television before.’
’10 Shake daytime will boast over 84 hours a week of the biggest kids’ TV shows on the planet including SpongeBob SquarePants, PAW Patrol and Henry Danger. It will provide a wonderful world of entertainment just for kids.’

He added: ’10 Shake prime time will be the destination for mischievous big kids who love escapism television with plenty of bite, comedy and fun. With shows like The Charlotte Show, Catfish: The TV Show and Lip Sync Battle forming part of the schedule, it will be self-indulgent TV at its best.’
Network 10 and ViacomCBS chief sales officer Rod Prosser also said this is a great opportunity for Australians to enjoy iconic shows on free-to-air tv.
‘More than 70% of Australians have not had access to many of these iconic shows which are firmly targeted at under 50s and we’re really pumped to be bringing them to free-to-air,’ he said.
