As long as Stokes owns SevenWest it’ll continue to be a thing, particularly as he wants to dominate the landscape in Perth / WA - not just Telethon, but in other ways (he’s the reason Basil Zemplias is the Mayor of the City of Perth for instance).
I would suggest if the network had fallen into ownership away from WA, its days would be numbered.

Is this the first year they have names for the varying hour blocks?
No. See last year:
It’ll be the first time since Kevin Rudd in 2009 a sitting Australian PM has attended Telethon in-person.

Ella Hooper will perform on Telethon’s opening night next Saturday, after commencing her national Old News Tour in Perth (Guildford on Thursday and North Perth on Friday).
The show’s Instagram page also revealed during the week the personalities who would appear at the event, including Manu Feildel, Ricki-Lee Coulter, Hoodoo Gurus, Luke Hodge, Nic Naitanui, and many more.

So pretty much every Seven talent ever?
So predictable and boring.

Well it is Perth afterall; where if it’s not on Seven …
Also, the entry for Sunrise that day differs from the usual so perhaps it will be a Perth edition.
will be a special Perth edition.
Join Seven for coverage of the 55th annual Telethon. Watch Kochie and Nat from Sunrise, Larry Emdur, Lynne McGranger and Ada Nicodemou as they help support vulnerable and disadvantaged children.

It’s really sad Telethon has become a reception waiting area for 7. It used to mean something.
It’s a Channel 7 telethon, so, yes it will be heavy in 7 talent. This is nothing particularly new or unusual. The Good Friday Appeal is similar though it gets much less attendance from even 7 personalities.

More performers and Seven personalities have been revealed ahead of Telethon weekend.
EDIT: Ben O’Shea and Famous Sharron will host the Slumber Party from 2am to 7am WA time.

According to Last night’s 7 news, The conga line for milestones and the phantom pie thrower, both of which we haven’t seen for years, are back this year.
Really looking forward to it.Will be nice to return to pre-covid telethon, with the 26 hours live and the stars from interstate.
