I still don’t know why they can’t show the appeal on 7two while the footy is on.

Why split the audience when the AFL is part of the appeal?

Or simply don’t have AFL on Good Friday. I’m all in favour of capitalism giving us a job and financial security, but 2/365 off wouldn’t hurt.

The promo is to the tune of Rod Stewart’s You’re in My Heart. It’s quite funny. It had personalities from Home and Away, House Rules and Better Homes and Gardens too so it must have been planned months in advance.

Gee, pretty tacky. Say Hello would have been a bit better.
Doesn’t 2018 make it 30 years since Say Hello last aired?

Say Hello would have finished up on HSV in 1987 around the same time as the infamous Fairfax takeover. In 1988 Seven idents used on HSV were :Let’s Celebrate 88" and “Australian Television Network”

Seven are on such a high at the moment since gaining the cricket rights, it’s pathetic.
The AFL commentators couldn’t stop drooling last night, even every segment they could plug it they did.
And now they’re airing cringe-worthy, market loyalty promos!?
To be fair they were probably locked in well before yesterday and timed for the end of the Games and resumption of ratings tomorrow

I think the promo could do with better music. Heart of Melbourne and love hearts fine. But the music isn’t enthralling and in your face, for a promo with a specific statement. All ‘la di da’ and fluffy IMO. LOL

Very cringe-worthy promo. Especially when 7 Melbourne will sack 150 people from its playout center by next year, not much heart involved with that.

So. Channel 7 Melbourne is telling me that I ‘better love them’…
Oh, and did I mention a certain newsreader… Was also ten years ago since someone with some disks told me to smile or else

It’s good to have local promos and idents back. I remember ones like these but with “7 Melbourne”.

I also like the shorter 10 second and 5 second ones with the city name underneath the logo like this

Seven Melbourne seems to be the only station that does this.
A few years ago, Adelaide, Perth and Brisbane replicated it. I think in this day and age with streaming/downloading services the networks need to emphasise more on the localness they can offer each market.

Last one I remember was “Seven Melbourne - Days Like This (sung by Van Morison)”.
Excellent promos 
Catchy, engaging, well produced and diverse network talent.
@MelbTV has some videos of it on YouTube.
