The channel was launched in 2016 and my ident above was “2018-ish“.
So no, there has never been a mascot for that.
Meanwhile, 7mate’s launch slate. How many does Seven still keep today?
New episodes of Family Guy, American Dad, Parks And Recreation and Last Comic Standing will lead the primetime comedy schedule. 30 Rock, How I Met Your Mother, That 70’s Show, Scrubs and Crank Yankers round out the laughs. New drama will include the sci-fi series Caprica and the adventure series Warehouse 13 and Stargate Atlantis. The reality slate will feature US ratings hits Jersey Shore and Pawn Stars, along with popular MTV series Punk’d and Gene Simmons Family Jewels, featuring the controversial KISS guitarist and his LA-based family, and Monster Garage with Jesse G. James. Factual on 7mate will see series such as Fifth Gear, The Universe, Life After People, The Boneyard, Ax Men, Jacked: Auto Theft Taskforce, Mega Movers, Mega Structures, Air Crash Investigations and Shockwave in primetime. 7mate will also be the home for first-run big movies for the blokes, including The Ringer, Strangers and Primeval.
I went back to look at the first two weeks of 7mate (the advance guides are still on TVT), and the shows from those schedules that are still on the Channels of Seven (that I know of, I may have missed one or two. Also not going into 7+ to check which shows are on that) are the NBC Today Show, Highway Patrol, FG and AD, Always Sunny, Ax Men, Million Dollar Catch and Air Crash. From your list, we can add Pawn Stars.
Looking back at the launch day of 7mate, the GF coverage surprisingly only namechecked it once. (Granted, the available footage excluded halftime.) Other than that, it was just…
11.00am, Monday 6 October on 7mate and 7plus Sport
In an exciting announcement for motorsport fans, Seven will premiere Drive Like A Girl, the inspiring story of 7Motorsport Reporter and champion driver Molly Taylor, who has forged a remarkable career in one of the toughest sporting arenas.
Shining a light on the realities of professional motorsport, Drive Like A Girl uncovers the resilience and passion driving women to succeed in an unforgiving industry. The 45-minute MaD Garage and Unleaded Films production lifts the curtain on the often-unseen side of the sport, sharing the journey of one of Australia’s most successful female racing drivers.
Drive Like A Girl premieres at 11.00am, Monday 6 October on 7mate and 7plus Sport, and will be available to stream on demand on 7plus Sport.
On tonight’s first run Family Guy, a gag moment about US streamer “Peacock” (NBC-Universal) had the FG V/O go ‘but weird it doesn’t have either “Seinfeld” or “Friends”…
Does this really work as a joke? As many viewers would know both shows’ distribution is actually handled by Sony and Warners respectively, rather than the original network they were run on, NBC. And surely MacFarlane & Co would know this.
Also, as a side note, Seinfeld currently is on Netflix in a years-long mega deal (Sony is of course without a streamer) and Friends is now on HBO Max, in terms of their svods here.
Yeah, but regular viewers or fans would’ve seen those studio logos at the end of every episode, like an expectation or clockwork upon the end credits. Especially outside of America or younger generations. You are right, but I still think plenty would know of the Seinfeld-Sony and Friends-Warner Bros relationships.
Upcoming series Rookie Truckers, a spin-off from Outback Truckers, is among distributor Cineflix Rights’ program slate at MIPCOM this month. The 8-part program is produced by Prospero Productions for Seven and Channel 5 UK.
