Closer was a bit different to normal 4pm closer? (2/06)
and on that very same day Melbourne 4pm news had a different opener so they could start the bulletin in a different way

That sums up where things are at with 7 News Melbourne at the moment. People are not stupid. Should never treat the viewers like they are idiots.

A pity you didn’t include an “all three are rather ordinary” option because that’s what I would’ve clicked!
Lol but there isn’t much you can do with a logo I guess?
During the “coming up at 6” update in between the two Final Chase segments, a local Queensland update aired instead of the Seven News Sydney update with Mark Ferguson. Wrong playout!

W## Channel Seven News Brisbane breaches privacy and impartiality rules
The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has found Channel Seven News Brisbane breached privacy and impartiality rules during two news programs which related to the Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC), broadcast on 30 and 31 July 2019.
An ACMA investigation found there was a breach of the privacy of two QBCC staff members. The news story on 30 July contained images of their names, job titles and signatures which was unncessary and not in the public interest.
The investigation also found Channel Seven News Brisbane was not fair and impartial in its presentation of allegations on 31July of QBCC’s handling of a customer complaint.
ACMA Chair Nerida O’Loughlin said broadcasters need to adhere to the regulations set out in their relevant codes of practice.
“The Commercial Television Code of Practice has clear definitions of what is acceptable to broadcast. Channel Seven News Brisbane failed to meet its obligations under the Code,” Ms O’Loughlin said.
“By failing to give the QBCC the opportunity to respond to the allegations aired in the 31 July news story, it failed to present the news fairly and impartially.”
Channel Seven News Brisbane will circulate a copy of the ACMA’s finding to news editorial staff within Seven Brisbane and include the decision and its reasoning in its staff Code training. Given Seven’s record of code compliance, the ACMA considers those actions are sufficient remedial actions in the circumstances.
How did this make it to the top story in Sydney and Queensland’s 6pm news, and Perth’s 4pm news (possibly seen in more places)?
Also what’s with the watermarking on Perth’s afternoon news?

Just confirming, was this by chance a 7 News exclusive?

No, it clearly states that it was on 10 first!

Embarrassing and a reminder of the lack of maturity of our commercial FTA networks.
Outside of Australia this sort of watermark treatment is something you’d only find in developing countries.

What even was that ‘exclusive’ story?
From 7NEWS Sydney Twitter:

Hardly worthy of those excessive exclusive tags if you ask me. Stupid story to be even airing, let alone be described as something that is as prestigious as ‘exclusive.

Seven Brisbane had another one of those reports that could at best be described as consumer advice, at worst a blatant advert for Finder.

This was the big Don’t Miss story on Seven News Brisbane tonight - promoted throughout the bulletin - but when it comes to the vision does it really show Katrina is describing?

Twitter description seems odd (and what Katrina said), the headline in the bulletin more accurately describes it?
