I’m pretty sure Supercars purchased the rights to the Bathurst 12hr a few years ago so this is no real surprise.

As seen during Seven News tonight, looks like old filed tapes of the original play-out at Docklands (eagle-eyed MS folk might be able to spot some programming and what year):

Based on the size and position of the watermark I’m gonna guess at least pre-2011.

That room(s) still used for some operations today, as evidenced recently when sometimes a presenter or reporter will stand in the atrium in front of its glass windows for a report/update/live cross, but the biggest giveaway was all those upper-tier monitors were replaced with flat-screens years ago, probably a decade ago, so yeah it’s definitely ancient

The external shots of the Seven Studios (BCM) are about a decade old too… The Palm Tress were replaced with Nordic pines years ago.

Some will flame you and say it is HSV and not BCM.

Norfolk Island pines actually and yeah, around 2010 they were replaced.

It will be interesting to see where HSV move to in the future.

No-one who works there call it HSV anymore. Is known internally as BCM. As HSV at South Melbourne was still in operation when 7BCM came on-line. And then when HSV was finally demolished several years later, the BCM name at 7BCM stuck. Much the same as when Martin Place started, ATN Epping continued for many years after Martin Place started. And when ATN finally got bulldozed, the Martin Place name stuck. Strickly speaking, Martin Place was officially 7BCS at some stage as well.
Only those who don’t work at BCM Seven Docklands call it HSV. Essentially it is one and the same, but you don’t hear ‘HSV’ mentioned as where they work inside that building.

No idea what you’re on about… but the stations call sigh is HSV. The building is referred to BCM.
