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.

Seen again on tonight’s bulletin, but this time new footage taken today with the current set up, looked to be buzzing oddly enough:

Is he not in Melbourne for the usual horse racing production tomorrow afternoon on the main channel, doesn’t he host the telecasts?

Weird…but when I see Bruce now I get sad that he won’t get a farewell Olympics, a ‘final’ Olympics on 7.

And yes, I’m well aware that he may still call via the World Feed, however it just won’t be the same not having him calling for us. It would have been ‘special’.

Correct! Good grief, that wall layout is from around 2015.

HSV has been where it has always been, at the transmitter sites on Mt Dandenong as that is still the official ACMA callsign.
The term ‘HSV’ is not in daily use within the network. It is only in use by those outside the network.

Mostly just on MediaSpy it would seem!

Any official government stuff (ACMA etc) still uses call signs.

People on here use HSV as a shorthand for ‘Seven Melbourne’, not for particular buildings or workplaces.

No one is asserting that Seven do or should use it internally.
