Just saw the Melbourne version of the latest Seven News promo.
Peter Mitchell is in the ‘virtual studio’ (although is it actually virtual, he didn’t really fly to Sydney to record that?)
“The news of Australia’s #1 network” or something LOL

If the Olympic set is virtual, why the hell couldn’t they use the same template for Seven News Perth!

The set looked virtual from first caps but now that I have seen it on air I don’t think it is virtual…The throws to the olympic updates etc makes me think it is real.

I think the spinning ring at the top with the 7 logos and text looks virtual.

…and on the flipside, Seven News Sydney actually beat Nine News Sydney in the ratings by a healthy margin last night and on Friday night.
Of course it’s probably an Olympics thing, but I’d personally like to see Seven News get some more regular wins in Sydney on Friday and Saturday nights here in Sydney because Seven’s presenting team on those two nights is far better than the Sunday-Thursday presenting lineup of Seven News Sydney!

Gold Coast news from yesterday on the 7HD channel for the first time
They have been using it for at least 3 months
Considering 7’s news was at 4.30

Also Katrina’s first bulletin. On that note, it was nice to see former Ten News Reporter Matt Howard presenting sport.

It looks very realistic but I’m pretty sure it’s virtual - there was a segment this morning where the whole set behind Todd was juddering very slightly as the camera panned across (didn’t happen while I was recording unfortunately!).
It would be awesome if they could make the virtual Rio set into the Seven News set in each market. All they really need to do is just add a desk!

They can even have my old dining table if they want.

My first thought when we got our first glimpses at the Rio set is how perfect it would be for a resurrected Today Tonight.

If it is indeed a real set they’d be silly not to use it for something else, it’s simple enough to be repurposed and maybe that was their intention for it post games. Hell, even TEN recycled some of their Commonwealth Games furniture on Studio 10 / RPM.

I think it is a mix. The main screen looks like its real - it has a dark tinge to it that virtual wouldn’t. The ring around the top is virtual, but I’d say most of it is real.
Haven’t watched Seven Perth in ages, but there seems to be a new Seven News promo out.
Three most prominent images? AFL West Coast face painting, AFL Fremantle merchandise, and a roadside tribute.
This organisation is without shame - but it perfectly represents what their “news” has become. AFL promotion so Stokes can make some sort of return on that foolishly large investment in the broadcast rights, and weirdly over the top death/crime/accident porn. It’s very odd. I can’t imagine that anyone except the dimmest of old pensioners is still watching this.

God I hate the new graphics on openers and ad breakers. What’s with piling the text on top of each other most of the time and leaving all this space across the centre of the screen, but then making it larger and spreading it across the bottom of the screen the rest of the time?
It’s just messy, weird and clunky.
