7 needs to do a good job of this this year. They need to build some goodwill with the Melbourne audience again.

Any word on where Seven will be broadcasting from this year?
Iâm assuming theyâll dust off that oval shaped desk theyâve used for 15 years. Itâs almost come tradition.

Because it isnât Kerry Stokes home town 
Also, Seven Melbourne have been having budget cuts for years. Also has been limited interstate guests as well. Meanwhile half of Sevenâs talent getâs flown across for Perthâs Telethon.
Letâs at least be grateful that they still have daytime coverage, and not limited to primetime.

Assuming that outside of the schedule there will be a cross during Sunrise and possibly TMS.
Lost opportunity to host Sunrise from Melbourne that morning.

Does Seven even care these days?

Especially the current situation in Melbourne. I really thought they would have altered things this year, to try and gain back Melbourne audiences.
This was a missed opportunity for Seven. Im also wondering what the hell does Lewis Martin actually do? Currently everything is done from Sydney.

Managed to take a screenshot of the line up from Sevenâs promo on Instagram. Larry Emdur will host the primetime session.
EDIT: the promo

I think because Perthâs Telethon is completely different, running over days, vs the RCH GFA only a single day (not even), impacted now by the tied-in AFL telecast for it, obviously the ratings collapse over the years and subsequent budget cutting and reduced telecast. The fact they donât even move it to 7mate or something during the football says a lot. You wonder if they donât give it up just so Nine canât get their hands on it. Itâs definitely a shadow of its former self, the last year that looked like itâs still prime days and top effort was probably like 2013 or something.

2016 was the last time it was shown all day, except for the 6pm news, while 2018 was the last time there was the morning coverage.

The coverage needs to commence at 9am as per its original broadcast time. Not midday.
Since 2016 itâs lost 6 hours of broadcast time.

Doing that would defeat the purpose of the telethon being interrupted for the AFL though since the game is a fundraiser for the Good Friday Appeal.

The Good Friday Appeal auction house at Tarneit in Melbourneâs outer west, will feature on Better Homes and Gardens this Friday, March 22.
Each year, the Good Friday Appeal house auction raises vital funds for the Royal Childrenâs Hospital in Melbourne. While building a house is normally just a job, building a home that will help families look after a sick child is a labour of love. Construction Supervisor Rod gives Johanna a tour of this yearâs amazing property thatâs up for grabs and details the quality of the home built by generous tradies who have given up their valuable time. But itâs a chat with Mat and his son Jak that really brings into sharp focus the reason for auctioning off the house; raising funds to help the Royal Childrenâs Hospital do the lifesaving work they do.

Wow a house at Tarneit 
That would probably fetch $1m unfurnished
