With cricket, fast-tracked US programs, premiere family movies, Jamie Oliver Christmas specials and a continuing quiz show, TEN is set to provide summer entertainment for the whole family.

From December 20, TEN will exclusively broadcast live, in prime time and on free-to-air television for the first time, the KFC T20 Big Bash League.

Featuring an outstanding commentary team including cricket legends Ricky Ponting, Sir Vivian Richards, Adam Gilchrist, Damien Fleming and Mark Waugh, TEN’s coverage will be hosted by Mel McLaughlin and Mark Howard.

The opening weekend of the KFC T20 Big Bash League will see the Melbourne Stars take on the Melbourne Renegades, the Sydney 6’ers verses the Sydney Thunder, the Hobart Hurricanes challenge the Adelaide Strikers and the Brisbane Heat go up against the Perth Scorchers.

The KFC T20 Big Bash League runs throughout the summer, culminating in the live final on February 7.

From December 1, popular US programs Homeland and Sleepy Hollow will continue to be fast-tracked on Monday and Tuesday nights.

Australia’s least-rich quiz show Have You Been Paying Attention?, hosted by Tom Gleisner, will continue on Sunday nights at 7pm.

Starring some of the most attentive minds in the country, Have You Been Paying Attention? is a fast-paced, funny look at international affairs, politics, sport and entertainment news and will test just how well the contestants have been paying attention.
