I notice that Seven, that usually goes to great lengths (even in adverts) to avoid showing the competition on any of the screens of Seven, will do so for a “good cause”.
I think all the networks, despite being a bit prissy with “firsts/exclusives” in the local newsrooms, are beyond pretending their competition doesn’t exist.
They’re all in the same basket of obsolescence these days so it doesn’t really matter.
Even on Today, the first thing said on Sam Armytage’s first day filling in, was “Do you know what channel you’re on?”
It’s nice to see a bit more of this down under, the US networks all seem to be happy to promote other networks shows on late night programs etc
More than that, they often even rely on each other. Seven and Nine particularly share resources including choppers, stringers and camos.
Yet the Hubbl advert that runs on Seven omits other FTA networks whereas all networks are shown in the same advert on other channels.
7, this is a horrible Christmas gift. Respectfully.
I saw that.
It was dreadful last night. Not funny at all.
Ditch it, ditch the horoscopes, ditch the dull “unstoppable” promos. 2025 needs a refresh and back to focusing on real reporting. 7news needs to try and regain ground (and viewers) they lost in 2024.
I wasn’t even aware of the existence of the 6:57 news because I only watch the news up to 6:30. Guess I got lucky…
The website and social content has gotten worse too. Becoming very Pedestrian crossed with Daily Mail. Woeful.
Despite the local morning and afternoon bulletins being off air over summer, the local 5pm news in Adelaide is still on air this weekend.
Obviously it hasn’t been on air for the past two weekends due to cricket being scheduled
Still doing sketches with a show that ended 10 years ago. Christ this thing is a stinker. ABC really needs some fresh blood in comedy.
Can’t wait for 7 to start reporting on itself and take quotes from this thread as per the Daily Mail!
As an ABC insider, I know everyone here thinks it’s so tired and repetitive but they have nothing else. Plus Charlie always parks in other peoples parking spots and asks for an extra serve of food at the canteen!!!
Back to trolling your usual targets, I see.
Cassie Zervos “Chief Crime Reporter”.
Promo seen in Brisbane.
I saw a couple of these types. promos shown in sequence late one night.
Another seen today
I’m in Wide Bay Qld for Christmas … the 7News local promo here actually has a voiceover that says, “7News…Unstoppable”.
Nick McCallum has also filmed a special report on Cyclone Tracy 50th anniversary which aired on 7News tonight.
