Oh dear, it looks like Channel Ten had a bit of an embarrassing moment! As someone who keeps a close eye on these things, I’ve seen they accidentally posted a rather serious video clip online with some totally unsuitable music playing in the background. It’s a reminder that even the pros need to double-check things before hitting ‘publish’! I’m sure they’re working to fix the issue now, but it’s definitely a red-faced moment for the network.
On Wednesday, the network posted a story on its 10 News TikTok account about the devastating 6.7 magnitude earthquake in the Philippines, which has sadly resulted in at least 20 deaths.
The video featured people coping with the effects of the natural disaster, and also included a news report about the tragic event.
However, it was the choice of music to accompany the clip that raised more than a few eyebrows.
The cheerful song “Dancing2” – the newest release from Kelli Holliday, which is the musical project of Abbie Chatfield’s partner, Adam Hyde – was featured in the background of the video.
The upbeat dance song felt quite different from the serious pictures and news coverage shown in the video.
Viewers definitely noticed it too, as many pointed out the mistake in the audio in the comments section.
One viewer wrote, ‘I’m laughing hysterically,’ and another posted a picture of a man joyfully raising his arms.
‘The people in the video scared for their life vs the song,’ they captioned the photo.
Someone else added: ‘They clearly used a song recommended by TikTok without verifying it,’ and followed that with two crying-laughing emojis. 😮😂
Ten quickly deleted the clip, only to re-upload it without the original backing track.
Despite the mistake being pointed out, many viewers continued to discuss it in the comments on the following post. The damage had already been done, and people kept calling out the blunder on the subsequent post.
‘Where did the song go?’ one inquisitive viewer enquired.
As a long-time follower, I saw someone really call them out on the mistake, asking: ‘And the original video? Or are we going to pretend that didn’t happen?’ It was a pretty direct question, and honestly, I was thinking the same thing! It just felt like they were trying to sweep things under the rug, and this person wasn’t letting them. It’s good to see accountability, even if it’s just from a fan calling them out on social media. #accountability is important!
The pointed remarks didn’t stop, and another playful viewer chimed in, saying they had kept a copy of the original exchange for safekeeping.
‘I’ve got a screen record of the original. I’m not posting it though,’ they wrote.
‘The social media team would have s*** when they realised.’
One viewer suggested the original clip completely changed the tone of the report Ten was sharing.
‘The song on the original video made this a lot less sad,’ they commented.
‘Social media guy was just chilling.’
Although the initial clip was online for a short time, it effectively promoted Hyde’s track, which this week received an ARIA nomination.
The musician, who also performs with the electronic group Peking Duk, is nominated for the Best Video prize at this year’s event on November 19th at the Hordern Pavilion in Sydney.
The hit tune was written about his girlfriend and Aussie TV personality Abbie Chatfield.
Daily Mail has reached out to Network Ten for comment.
