Found a blooper on YT that aired 7 Perth the other day.

Mike in the studio in Melbourne, but no camera movement and OTS on the opposite side.

I sense changes are afoot!!

Was a very tight opening shot!

Update - Sport and weather both OB’s. No shots outside of the tight shot and single desk shot for the whole bulletin.

the scrapping? to save costs. they’d be paying a licence fee every year to use the Mission.
the reversal? backlash, they decided they’d better pay the fee and find savings elsewhere.

The 2014 theme was actually quite nice, it just wasn’t implemented well. Unfortunately the worst bit was the climax but the headline bed was genuinely good.

SydneyCityTV · February 9, 2020, 8:54am

A major problem with the 2014 theme is that there were too many individual elements of the theme competing for each other - it’s like the composer couldn’t settle on a single “mood” for the theme so decided to incorporate a few favourites!

I also think Seven News’ shortlived 2014 theme sounded far too light for sombre stories or big breaking news. Imagine this Summer’s bushfire crisis being read over it - probably would’ve sounded just a tad inappropriate!

Didn’t realise Bankcard went back quite that far.

Back then, they used to hang people for being 1 day late with payments.

There were no shots of the set on the Morning News. Perhaps a set relaunch (which I strongly doubt, given the current Seven News Sydney set was only installed less than 12 months ago) is on the cards?

Tom_TV7 · February 10, 2020, 3:21am

Hmm…not quite. Debuted around 4 years ago.

killy06 · February 10, 2020, 3:23am

Melbourne?

Avatar5991 · February 10, 2020, 3:27am

Sorry I meant got a refresh. The two side panels (one of which where sport is presented) on the set and the desk were changed.

SydneyCityTV · February 10, 2020, 5:01am

There was a wideshot of the set at the start of today’s Sydney 4pm bulletin.

Moving right along…

NewsKing · February 10, 2020, 5:01am

Slight changes to set and new city backdrop in Melbourne.

Underwhelming.

Troiboi · February 10, 2020, 5:02am

Is that screen behind sport new?

ScreenTower · February 10, 2020, 5:03am

The Afternoon News today in Melbourne.

Tom_TV7 · February 10, 2020, 5:07am

Lol so did they just move the desk to the right?

What’s the point?

The only scenario I can think of is HSV drooling at ABC’s new set but doesn’t have any money for something like that so they make an absolutely unnecessary change

SamSamTV · February 10, 2020, 5:08am

Blooper on this afternoon’s news in Sydney:

nationalnews · February 10, 2020, 5:09am

Looks like they just moved the desk.

Yeah, well it didn’t look like Sydney for the Morning News.

Fire Mike’s make-up artist.
