Seven News will have coverage of the press conference by authorities on the Melbourne Synagogue attack at 12:30pm for Sydney & Melbourne - interstate viewers can watch on 7news.com.au
Sorry, strange was probably a poor choice of words. But you’d think she’d just have the whole weekend off. Doesn’t worry me at all; just an observation.

7NEWS Presents – The Seven: 2024 in Review
Candid conversations about the seven unforgettable news events of the year
A former President became “Trump the Conqueror”, a stabbing rampage in an Australian shopping centre changed lives forever, the British monarchy was in the spotlight for some of its most personal public moments, escalating conflict in the Middle East, Taylor Swift’s Eras tour fever swept the world and an academic breakdancer became a viral sensation: the past year has been heartbreaking, unpredictable and historic.
Now, as 2024 draws to a close, join 7NEWS for a thought-provoking special, The Seven: 2024 in Review, airing this Thursday at 7.00pm on Channel 7 and 7plus.
From personal journeys to shocking tragedies, global conflicts and all the twists and turns of the political rollercoaster, Seven’s frontline journalists share the extraordinary stories behind the events that stopped us scrolling and made us think.
Join Sunrise’s Natalie Barr, 7NEWS Spotlight’s Michael Usher, 7NEWS international correspondents David Woiwod and Ashlee Mullany, Foreign Editor Hugh Whitfeld, presenter Karina Carvalho and 7NEWS.com.au music and cultural writer Poppy Reid as they reveal insights never before made public.
Usher, who anchored 7NEWS’ rolling coverage of the US Election and the shocking Bondi Westfield attacks, said: “It has been a fragile year in many ways with a lot of uncertainty. We’ve been shocked by major events, we’ve witnessed some amazing uplifting moments, but we’ve been very worried about just how expensive life has become.
“It’s a good time to reflect on what’s happened and what’s ahead. Will the new year bring some peace and prosperity?”
Whitfeld, who kept millions of Australians up to date on multiple shocking Royal headlines this year, added: “There are so many things that you wouldn’t have had on your 2024 bingo card: not one but two members of the Royal Family being struck with cancer, a genuine assassination attempt on the next President of the United States, and a university academic becoming a viral sensation with a kangaroo hop in Paris.
“On Thursday, we’ll pull apart the past 12 months, as told by the people who see the news up close.”

Woah can’t wait to see these!! I’m sure it won’t just be fluffy wording
Still no sign of new promos. Seven News across the weekend promoted a story about how big crusing was going to be next year - individualised per market. I didn’t see the appeal or interest or the value in the saturation promos.
In the end, Seven News had its lowest Monday rating nationally under the new ratings system. In the 5 city market it was the lowest rated Monday since Christmas Day last year. In the 5 cities Seven won the equivalent day last year by 100,000. Yesterday Seven News lost by 50,000.

I feel like with the way things are going at the moment (ratings-wise) it won’t be too long now and Seven will end up becoming the equivalent of Ten: Poor ratings, axed bulletins and a flood of NBC American content during daytime hours. Except, American programs on Ten are coming from CBS, because simply put, CBS owns Ten.
That just leaves me to wonder if NBC will buy Seven next? Buy Seven and own them and supply them with American NBC content. I know Seven already airs some NBC content, but by taking control of Seven this would take the cake. One can only wonder what’ll happen next…

I would say it was probably part of the agreement reached with the Cruise company as it was clearly product placement. Obviously noone was interested as indicated by the ratings. Also I would argue the changes made in particular in Sydney with Ferguson being joined in a duo with Cox was completely unnecessary change. Nothing was broken. Not to mention the other changes Seven implemented that have not improved anything.

Won’t happen unless Seven goes into administration and NBC is a creditor and they can pick it up for a song. Seven is currently too weighed down with debt to be considered a viable investment. Comcast just spun off all its underperforming assets into a new entity with a view to sell them off.

I wonder if that studio in Parliament House has been built yet, Either way, the live crosses today and yesterday have been done in front of a low quality screen (it looks like a video wall)

Looks like the sort of opening we used to get from Nine Queensland before the state election. Seven Melbourne trying to emulate that success?

This has been the leading news story today in Melbourne across a number of platforms and something a lot of people are talking about. It’s not as if Seven have pulled it out of thin air.

What an odd promo
It feels like he’s rambling on and it’s going nowhere at all. Then the music changes to something out of place and he finishes with a line that feels at odds with the test of the sell, then another disconnected line pops up with the tagline.
Disjointed mess. And feels cold, stark, lacks warmth, polish, energy.
Very strange marketing
