Seven News Content and Appearance (2020-Feb 2025)

Sets fine they should fill in the blank space on the right and put in a weather centre for Brownie.

Seven claimed exclusive, then Nine posted the exact same vision minutes later:

It’s not necessarily Seven claiming exclusive. It’s just regular watermarking by both networks? I’m unsure if Seven had the footage first but then that would have also been unnecessary for Nine to watermark.
Also interesting that Nine is using old watermarks.

I don’t know if the brightness of the screen on the desk is turned up high enough. I can barely see it.

Oh god, they’re bringing back the old overhead shot of Circular Quay

No doubt I’ll be disappointed with the final product, but for a very brief moment I thought this was going to be a “Michael Usher: Sydney’s new main presenter of Seven News” promo!

One can dream, right? :slight_smile:

can i just ask. If this were to happen would you switch over from the big O?

Possibly, but of course that is all but one element of Seven News Sydney which I think needs to be changed.

And if Mel McLaughlin was replaced by say Michelle Bishop, or Matt Shirvington, would that sway you even more :laughing:?

Only the old Bathie/Jim banter could bring @SydneyCityTV back from the dark side :wink:

Fixed :wink:

Before anyone says anything, that was just a joke.

Can you blame me for having Chris & Jim banter as a point of how good (or at least better than they are now) Seven News Sydney used to be when they almost gave Pete & Ken on Nine - who of course, were very good at banter themselves - a run for their money?!

Although it’s arguable that Pete & Cam aren’t quite as good as Pete & Kenny were or Georgie & Cam were on weekend bulletins back in the day, they’re still miles better than the general awkwardness that is Mark Ferguson & Mel McLaughlin on Seven News Sydney these days! And while Michael Usher & Matt Shirvington aren’t that bad at bantering themselves, it’s hardly anything to write home about even compared to GG & Erin!

Yes, I know! :slight_smile:

God I miss Jim Wilson. Coming to think of it now, he had good chemistry on-screen with Michael, and they had a mutual admiration that showed on-air.

I don’t think anyone has mentioned it, but they have changed the weather map colour to a darker shade of blue. Seemed like it happened 1 or maybe 2 weeks after the graphic refresh.

An exclusive story for Seven - Home And Away star visits 100 year old fan. Hardly think the watermark is necessary - what other network would want this footage?

That seems wrong. I thought visitors in nursing homes were banned at this time.

Probably so Daily Mail can’t easily rip it off.

Not sure - it was really held outside the doors of the home
