The usual strategy of launching a new channel, embedding a stable schedule and building viewer numbers is out the door as 10 Shake pulls The Charlotte Show and Ex on the Beach from the line-up after just 1 episode each.
Both shows are being replaced by even more episodes of Ridiculousness, which will now total 6 episodes in a row on Tuesday night, in addition to airing double episodes most other nights of the week.
The rescheduling comes after the channel recorded a very small 0.5% share in its first week.
10 Shake launched on September 27th and immediately started playing episodes out of order with Ridiculousness, Just Tattoo of Us, Drunk History US, Catfish: The TV Show and Lip Sync Battle all launching with episodes played randomly to how they were aired in their originating country.
The highly hyped South Park will air in primetime with season 6 episodes which originally aired in 2002.
10 have taken TV Blackbox off the guide list, so we are unable to see whether either The Charlotte Show and/or Ex on the Beach will return in a new slot. The decision not to share their schedule with certain sections of the media no doubt highlights the lower levels of awareness of the new channel in the community.

No wonder why 10 shake only got 0.5% because regional areas never get anynany channels… why create a new channel and not show it in regional areas? stupid decision…
