Bringing You The Stories That Matter.

April 9, 2026
The Cheap Seats Is Back, Tuesday 21 April On 10.

In these unprecedented times, it’s important to turn to trusted voices to bring you the stories that really matter. For everything else, there’s The Cheap Seats!

Back for a sixth season, hosts Melanie Bracewell and Tim McDonald have been scouring the news to bring you the world’s most unmissable, unbelievable, and unhinged updates.

Not every story needs a hard-hitting headline. Sometimes you just need to know what’s unfolding on the Archipelago of Love Islands – and that’s where Cultural Correspondent Mel Tracina steps in.

In the past year, The Cheap Seats has delivered standout moments, including an exclusive interview with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, beatboxing brilliance from Reggie Watts, and an unforgettable on‑air slap from Lynne McGranger. The show even hit the road for The Cheap Seats’very first World Tour* (*one city, one night only).

In 2026, expect even more special guests, celebrity cameos and red carpet reports. Where are the best seats in the house? Right here on 10.

The Cheap Seats Premieres On Tuesday, 21 April.

Watch + Stream Free On 10.
