The Cheap Seats wins best promo of the week with this video.
Full marks to The Cheap Seats for a promo which riffs on a very earnest Seven News promo about “the need to connect.”
Oh and the show with Melanie Bracewell and Tim McDonald is back later this month, for S6 (yes really).
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.
