Major shake-up on the cards for The Project panel in 2020
<p>A Channel Ten executive has confirmed that hit panel show<span> </span><em>The Project</em>is set for a re-shuffle this year after the show struggles to compete with the<span> </span><em>ABC</em>.</p>
<p>Speaking to the<span> </span><em><a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.heraldsun.com.au/entertainment/channel-10s-the-project-set-for-a-reshuffle/news-story/450b8a30a62fbbd156767c3cfa50b8f5" target="_blank">Herald Sun</a></em><span> </span>on Thursday, Ten chief content officer Beverley McGarvey said that the almost-nightly changes to the panel line-up will stop.</p>
<p>“You won't see the same faces six nights a week but what I would like to have is consistency and familiarity,” she said.</p>
<p>Last year, viewers saw a mix of hosts including Susie Youseff, Joel Creasey and Dave Thornton, which is a factor that could be explained by the decreased ratings.</p>
