Ten Network Holdings has announced that there will be changes to its One HD platform, with a move away from all sports to drama, HD movies and documentaries and premium sport.
One HD airs the rounds of the ANDRA Pro Series.

ANDRA Pro Series TV presenter Dean Neal said that drag racing would remain a key plank of the network’s broadcast still.
“ANDRA Pro Series Drag Racing has a firm agreement with TEN/ONE that will see the series continue to be telecast until the end of next season 2011/12,” he said.
“Drag Racing brings sponsors and a good audience, so episode placement will remain strong, as it always has done to this point. Remember, the announcements are about building their overall audience share and the bigger this is, the more it will benefit any drag racing coverage on the network.”
