I notice 7flix is taking the main feed tonight (during Seven News, 6pm-7pm) instead of 7mate.
Is this due to the AFL in certain market(s) outside Melbourne on 7mate, hence easier just to make 7flix national for that hour?
Because Seven’s produced AFL in Melbourne finishes at the normal time of 6pm today. Getting Mythbusters before “Shanghai Noon”.
WA get the Eagles V Cats game at 2.30 WA time on 7Mate
Yeah and guides showing 6-7pm main feed during news is still on 7mate for Adelaide and Perth.
So it looks like it’s on 7flix in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane (who are all receiving WB vs ESS) just in case the game goes overtime (past 6pm) and they may even stay for some post game, at least post match (interviews, etc) as they don’t need to air Seven News Melbourne on 7mate.

There’s live sport on and seven showing replays of shooting on the main channel. 
not again! This happened during the Winter olympics, where there were a few events on and yet they decided to chuck on a day old olympic event, the 2nd replay of the opening ceremony, or the event that they’ve shown already during the day.
Can’t wait for Seven’s cricket coverage when they’ll show highlights of last night’s BBL game instead of The Ashes.
Is it because they are having technical problems again?
Surely anything’s better than Nine’s aged and publicly criticised cricket coverage now though?
Kerri Pottharst has issued a public, unreserved apology for making an offensive comment during today’s men’s beach volleyball match between Australia and St Kitts and Nevis. She claimed that St Kitts and Nevis players looked like “human lamingtons covered in sand”.
Jason Richardson is back hosting the highlights show with Mel McLaughlin at The Star tonight, after Jason hosted Seven’s Horse Racing coverage at Royal Randwick yesterday.
Mel’s still not doing anywhere near enough, Seven failing at using her to her full potential. Are they not impressed with her or something? Richo doesn’t shut up either.
I swear Mel was on screen more and did more when she was at Ten! How embarrasing.
Okay, she is the Seven News Sydney sport presenter and maybe this week she’s lined-up for more positions at the Comm Games. But I can’t be the only one noticing this?
The less she’s seen the better.
They were interviewing a medalist this evening live when he started talking about Ninja Warrior. Wrong network buddy. Awkward lol.
Seven isn’t going to put her front and centre while she is being shopped around to other networks.
Wouldn’t be surprised to see her jump over to Fox if they end up launching a cricket channel.
Is she being shopped around?
They’ve certainly downgraded her role. Late night only, and with a side-kick. Must be hard for her to take.
