‘hahaha I can’t believe they are paying me to diminish the 7 News brand… hahaha’
Sources tell me it was a promo shoot for the Brisbane Ekka, which has now been binned.
That’s what Sharyn said the day the news came out that she was fired.
The shots on the Melbourne bulletin tonight look tighter than usual.
I must have missed that article. Everything I saw said an “expensive promo shoot”, but didn’t specify what that was.
Here’s an article from a month ago confirming it.
After a few week of the 6:57 News, I though we might have seen some of the anchors react to the segment, but they all seem to ignore it. What about a smirk or chuckle? Perhaps they should add a laugh track
I think they should all be forced to fake laugh like Mike Moore on Frontline: “He’s done it again.”
Sydney promo for next week
Similar promo in Brisbane but no sign of any talent; just ends. You’d think Seven could get the weekday and weekend anchor plus weather and/or sport reporters together for a photo. How many weeks have they had now.
Agree. 7 Brisbane need a group shot for their end shot, but also all their high profile reporters for a promo. They need to give the impression there is actually a team of familiar faces left!
What high profile reporters to they have left though? The only one I can think of is Marlina Whoop (political reporter). Joel Dry is no longer there, along with Sally Gyte.
Not sure.
But add in Katrina and Samantha as well.
If only they hadn’t let Kendall go.
Surely they are waiting until after the Olympics to announce a new co-anchor and then to shoot a new endtag??? Otherwise it makes no sense.
When did she leave Seven?
Earlier this year.
For sports presenters to replace Shane…
I wonder if Matt Suleau wants to return to Brisbane at some point?
Or is Bill McDonald still looking for work?
Otherwise Ben Davis makes sense, he has been around at 7 for a long time and is at least a familiar face.
Bill works full time as 4BC morning’s presenter Monday to Friday 9am - 12pm.
Katrina & Sam… + the Gold Coast team, there’s recognition with Steve right now being Ariarne’s Dad. Capitalise on that. Even get Liz Cantor if she is going to do the surf reports. Get as many familiar faces on there as you can.
I’d hope 7 announce something to coincide with the logies. They seem to be doing their relaunch on Monday ‘after the logies’ with The Voice starting.
If they wait until next year they will give too much ground to 9.
Did not know that, i’ve been away from brisbane for quite some time though. Good for him.
