I’m unsure if there is still any interest 18 months later but I went near the old Channel 7 building at Martin Place very recently and the Channel 7 logo has now been pulled down from above the studio street view side.
Didn’t get time to actually go up to the building to see if it’s still empty but from the view from afar it still had the pillar things in view so I would guess it probably is
You might remember this next young man, from our rolling coverage during Cyclone Alfred. Ollie Major stopped by for a visit, touring our Channel Seven studio at Mt Coot-tha. If you have a Sunny Side story please email: sunnyside@seven.com.au https://t.co/VZ3A1cHvFd#7NEWSpic.twitter.com/EBaoPiUDY2
Sounds like it wasn’t there for long. From research it sounds like it was there around 2016.
I do know there was also a Cairns Bureau which shifted to a Townsville Bureau but has since closed.
The Gold Coast Bureau is the only one outside a state or territory capital which exists today. Plus international ones in Washington DC, Taipei and Wellington, New Zealand.
On this topic, I do recall a journo based out of WIN Hobart did a studio tour video of the old Hobart HQ circa 2016. It must have been taken down as I can’t find it now.
The Sydney news desk needs to have screens put in like the Brisbane one shown. Such a big wasted studio space as well they should all relocate into smaller footprint building closer to the CBD
If you’re saying the Sydney studios need to be moved - they already did. They moved to North Sydney from Willoughby - not a hell of a long trip from the CBD as it is via Metro and trains.
Brisbane they’re waiting on the local or state government to rezone Mt Cootha so they can sell the land and move in close. I say screw them and let 'em rot.
