I expect after the merger: PRIME7/GWN7 will be rebranded to 7. Prime Possum/Fat Cat may stay. 7 will make new 15 bulletins from Bendigo, Canberra, Illawarra, and Albany, for VIC, SNSW, ACT, NNSW, and ACT. ---

> [@Bergoine](#): > > Also, will Seven’s regional papers and television move into one location? Currently Seven West newspapers are co-located with SCA radio in Northern WA in Broome, Hedland and Geraldton. From what I can tell GWN don’t have offices in Karratha, Hedland and Broome. Their website lists Bunbury as the contact for those towns. In Geraldton, and the towns where GWN and 7West both have their own offices, I imagine it would depend on the space required and available. Their could be some job loses in those markets too which would free up space. ---

> [@cmo](#): > > That’s not needed. Seven Local News is fine. It will save money and unify the brand. You’ll probably get more local news from seven than prime produced. A shame however that 7 had scrapped the ‘Local News’ branding in regional Queensland. As per the other post, it’ll likely be Seven News (State) and/or (Region Name). Similar to the Seven News Queensland (Region Name) Regional QLD bulletins. ---

> [@TBoy](#): > > PRIME7/GWN7 will be rebranded to 7. Prime Possum/Fat Cat may stay. Fat Cat is a Seven Network character, no association with Prime or GWN. I think you mean Doopa Dog, GWN’s mascot. And since Seven Perth have kept Fat Cat’s goodnight segment, it’s possible that they’ll keep Prime Possum and Doopa Dog too. While we’re on the subject, it would be fun to see Doopa Dog join Fat Cat at the Perth Telethon. See some representation from metro and regional. ---

> [@Nick](#): > > And since Seven Perth have kept Fat Cat’s goodnight segment, it’s possible that they’ll keep Prime Possum and Doopa Dog too. TVW learned the hard way that they can’t forget Fat Cat. Before automation they would sometimes forget to air it and the switchboard would get overloaded with phone calls from angry parents saying to air it so their kids would go to bed. And they would. Even if it was 30 mins late they always made up for it. It’s awesome they still do it. Nine gave up on Humphrey and Ten killed Kenny Kidna. Bastards. I am glad to hear GWN still has Doopa Dog. He’s no Fat Cat but he is a country WA icon so they better look after him. ---

When my cousins were kids back in the 1990’s, they were always told to go to bed when the Fat Cat, Prime Possum, Big Dog etc (they moved houses a lot so would’ve seen them all) said goodnight. Little did they know, my uncle had actually recorded the good night messages on VHS and would play the tape when ever he’d had enough of the kids. I have a feeling Fat Cat may have said goodnight even before 6pm. ---
