The idea is good but the set looks extremely disjointed and visually doesn’t look fantastic.

Points for trying since we don’t see this with Ferguson at the helm.

Agreed, I personally think Seven has the worst news set in the Sydney market. And that Michael Usher really should just be appointed the main 6pm presenter already.

Former 60 Minutes reporter v Former 60 Minutes reporter, you know it makes sense Seven! :wink:

Won’t happen now.

Mark is very competitive against Peter this year. They are heading upwards and would be suicide to change now.

Fergo’s a drag on the numbers.

Not really. He has won many nights this year.

Even though Nine won last week and won on Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday night?

We’ve seen several short bursts of victory from Seven News in recent years, how do we know their recent success isn’t another one? I for one, am predicting a Nine resurgence when the NRL resumes.

The quality of the content is also poor too. A few weeks back, something about cheap seafood was in the Opening Headlines!

I still think that comment is tired and has little relevance anymore. We aren’t still talking about 2015 Seven News.

Indeed, Seven News Sydney has become worse since then IMO.

Something you’d see on Today Tonight if it was still running.

But looking forward, they seem to be avoiding things like that (except the story about credit card debt seen at 6pm in every market - while some of you could find that necessary, IMO it isn’t)

@SydneyCityTV if you think 7News Sydney with Fergo is horrid, live with 7News Melbourne for a day. It’s awful now. At least Sydney is trying and making an effort.

Also, not entirely true. It’s not necessarily Fergo that’s the problem. Know anything else that’s the problem? Also, explain this: more people have tuned into 7News Sydney these days after staying at home. 7News Sydney with Fergo could be more trusted than you may believe. (especially with Western Sydney).

Sydney sport was presented from the desk for the first time in a while:

I never understood why Sydney sport moved to standing presentation because of COVID-19. There is/was a smaller gap between the Sunrise hosts and The Latest when it was a double header.

This was first present with Seven News At 5.

“Chopper cam” transition logo used, and “chopper” bug also used. @SamSamTV hope you’ve recorded today’s 5pm bulletin! :wink:

In response to my previous post, thank you @SamSamTV for recording.


Some basic images of what I was talking about

that chopper cam transition looks hideous

and as for others who asked how I know morale amongst the presenting team in Melbourne is low due to 20% pay cuts - I just know. If people think news presenters are full of integrity and care deeply about how their audience is suffering through coronavirus sackings etc they are kidding themselves. Most presenters I have come across care for no-one else but themselves. Peter Hitchener is probably the exception to the rule. He’s a very nice man.

Can I just say it’s kinda refreshing to have 2 of the 3 top stories on the Morning News have nothing to do with Coronavirus?

The first story is bloody awful, I’m not denying that, but remember a month ago when every story had something to do with COVID-19?

41:53 wrong variation of music used which left a bit of silence.
