It depends on how they were let go and what the terms were. Usually there’s a 12 month period that an employee made redundant cannot apply for another job within the company unless they were offered another role at the time of redundancy.
From what I hear a lot of people who have left Seven wouldn’t want to go back… that’s because of management and the overall vibe and happiness of employees there.
Well, as alluded to, they kind of up-rooted the place at Docklands. Unless you were close with Lewis Martin or maybe Seven News or Seven Sport, staff from other departments or associated teams that were destroyed there probably wouldn’t be rushing back, no.
Radio Today reports that Alice James will take up a publicity role at Seven at her hometown of Melbourne, after quitting as EP of Triple M Adelaide’s Roo & Ditts breakfast show.
Any news on Melbourne’s Fire works being televised on Seven this year?
Think I read somewhere that it’s on Nine this year?
It’s on Nine this year according to City of Melbourne’s NYE event website.
Contract was awarded to Nine. Nine aired the 2003-04 Fireworks in Melbourne instead of the Sydney display.
Seven Melbourne did a good job with it over the past 12 years of so, but it’ll be good to see what Nine can do with it. They might go out national.
News Corp reports Seven Melbourne is rumoured to relocate from its Docklands home of 21 years (corner of La Trobe Street and Harbour Esplanade) to a new 34-storey tower at Melbourne Quarter precinct (south east part of Docklands) next year. The building is being developed by Lendlease. The overall precinct consists of three next-generation office towers, two apartment towers and retail facilities, with the television station to move into the flagship tower.
Interesting, does this mean the studios move too?
It would, yes.
From my understanding its right behind Media House (Being Built)
Extremely close to the city. Very New Your feel.
Yes the new buildings are right above existing railway tracks as they approach Southern Cross Station.
I saw the early development whenever I travelled by train from Flinders Street to Southern Cross.
Great location. Hopefully they have a decent studio for The Front Bar etc
And only a couple of blocks away from Channel Nine on Bourke Street in Docklands.
I’m not sure. Seven’s current lack of investment in Melbourne programming might leave it with a much smaller operation.
It’s been a while since Docklands departure was first announced/rumoured (6 years ago?), in that time Seven’s entire network playout department previously located within (‘BCM’) packed up, left and relocated (along with Nine) to “NPC Media” in Sydney.
Although I think that was a previous situation to this new development. Wasn’t there talk of the AFL purchasing the site (located adjacent to the now AFL owned-Marvel Stadium and has been convenient for Seven since 2007 with productions).
Yes, there was talk of them relocating with the AFL HQ a few years back. With Sydney now moved, the network is now looking at its Melbourne operations.
No more BCM.
The tv tonight article mentions a theatre studio. What is a theatre studio. I only recall 2 studios at HSV.
I might be wrong but I think it’s the smaller studio where they do live crosses for Sunrise and The Morning Show.
