The Project’s Instagram page has gone rogue following Channel Ten’s shock decision to axe the long-running news program.

The program, which was pulled from the schedule after 16 years and more than 4,500 episodes, aired its final episode on Friday.

And while The Project has officially ended, the show’s Instagram page still appears to be very active.

On Tuesday, a post poking fun at the Network Ten bosses was shared on social media.

‘The bosses really should have changed the password from Password1,’ it read.

The Project’s Instagram page has gone rogue following Channel Ten ‘s shock decision to axe the long-running news program

‘Well, well, well, look who is in charge now… It’s me! The social media hero (that’s what I call myself),’ the caption read.

The following day, another post was shared to The Project’s social media page: ‘Still cancelled. Still curious.’

‘I have nobody to share the silly news I see from around the world with,’ read the caption.

‘That, and the other things we should be discussing… Shall I just post the things that interest/make me laugh anyway?’

A third post showed a woman getting knocked over by a huge box blowing in the wind during Sydney’s recent storm.

‘We have been off air for less than a week, and a woman has been knocked over by a fridge box? You just can’t make this stuff up,’ it read.

The Project was officially axed after 16 years last week, and aired its final episode on June 27.

It was replaced by 10 News+ which failed to impress viewers following its debut on Monday night.

Another post featured a woman being knocked down by a large box carried by the wind during a recent storm in Sydney. It commented, ‘We’ve been off the air for less than a week, and someone is toppled by a refrigerator box? You just can’t invent this kind of scenario.’

The premiere episode featured a report on Melbourne mom Debbie Voulgaris and her involvement in drug trafficking, along with an interview with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.

Not everyone liked what they saw, with many sharing their thoughts on X.

Several compared 10 News+ to A Current Affair with one posting: ‘This is like ACA. Going to peoples houses to talk & them avoiding the cameras.’

‘You replaced The Project with a Temu ACA not seeing @theprojecttv is incredibly depressing. 10news+ sucks!’ complained another viewer.

Someone else said: ‘This is proper @Channel7 style commercial JUNK. It’s like watching a cross between Fox News and Anchorman. Why the silly “news” voices!?’

One more person tuning in at home asked: ‘Anyone else bored so far?’ while someone else said, ‘please no more long investigation reports it’s 6pm.’

‘This is trash, so dry and bland. Time for the project 2.0 and a game show in a prime time slot up against Home and Away. Good luck,’ someone wrote.

‘Not even bothering with #10newsplus bring back #TheProjectTV’ one more wrote with someone else saying, ‘Is Denham Hitchcock AI generated or just stupid?’

‘Dribble. Won’t last the year,’ a viewer said with another adding, ‘Felt like it was a Comedy Company parody from the 80s. The fist pump at the end? Yikes.’

Not everyone was so negative with one fan writing: ‘Loving @10NewsPlus – strong launch story. Is this the new Schapelle Corby story we all need to know about. 10 news should be very proud.’
