Ahaha I was thinking of that! Perth hasnât updated their promos to include the ânewâ 7News logo 
Did you also manage to capture the report with footage of the Sydney Olympics with the old ribbon logo?
Iâm not one to usually comment on presenter fashion, but what Jennifer Keyte wore on tonightâs bulletin was shocking! I initially thought there was a problem with my TV!

^ I could believe my eyes either when I saw Jen wearing the âseismicâ dress. What is the wardrobe department doing?

Wonder how man epileptic fits were caused by that outfit.

Knowing some of the absurd complaints that get published there, Iâm sure that Jennifer Keyteâs rather interesting outfit wouldâve attracted some letters to The Ageâs Green Guide! 
Craig McPhersonâs push to revive Today Tonight
Short piece that says what the title does
But, resurrecting TT is not top of McPhersonâs in-tray while the Brisbane news operation needs more urgent attention. âIâd certainly like to create another news and public affairs program, but thatâs not going to happen in the immediate future,â McPherson said.
Interesting comment about Brisbane

Sevenâs Craig McPherson reports rise in audience share
Craig McPherson refuses to lay down a title marker, but there are signs Seven News is making Âinroads as it chases Nine in the battleground eastern states.
âWeâre encouraged by what weâre seeing in Sydney and Melbourne and I believe weâve got the teams to be No 1,â ÂMcPherson said.

Yes they do. Theyâre sitting at home on the sofa weekdays watching the B team.

Yep, I think itâs quite obvious what Seven need to do in Queensland. Rod & Kay back on weeknight ASAP!
Maybe they could continue having Peter Mitchell in Melbourne, but in Sydney itâs pretty obvious that they could do with a better main presenter. Although we all know that they will persist with their current weeknight newsreader and âface of Channel Seven Sydneyâ regardless!

Baffled at the state of Seven News here in Perth.
Believe it or not, the lead story tonight was THE OSCARS?!?!

It was here in Melbourne too.
9 News ran with the Pell enquiry
As far as I can tell, Seven News Sydney also lead with the Oscars.
On Nine News Sydney, I think it was a local court case that was first followed by the Pell Inquiry while Oscars didnât get a run until a good 15 minutes or so into the bulletin.
Seven Brisbane also started with Oscars. Both Nine and Ten left them until just before the first break.

I donât often complain about running order decisions since often the rundown is a âcommon senseâ or âpersonal preferenceâ matter. However I did find it odd that Seven News Melbourne lead with The Oscars when there were three to four other stories that should have lead the bulletin

I donât understand why local stories arenât first. National and Worldwide headlines should be afterwards during the nightly bullitens (unless serious). Most people want to hear whatâs going around their state first, not the world.

Iâve just checked and as it turns out, Nine News Sydney didnât run their coverage of the Oscars (which was given substantial treatment of course) until about 12 minutes into the bulletin and the last thing(s) to be shown before the Weather Preview & first ad break. I think that was definitely the right thing to do, but of course that probably wonât be reflected in the ratings!
I have to agree. The most important local and national news of the day should be first. Sure, a serious major international news story should lead the 6pm news but the Oscars?

Seven News in Perth has lost the plot over the last year or so. Just switch it off. Total rubbish.

If Iâm not mistaken, Impact on BBC World also led with the Oscars late yesterday. Something to keep in mind.
