100% agree - the interview about the flower was way to early IMO, and would’ve been better placed towards the end of the bulletin.

Also both guests are young. The older audience (yes a lot at home) really can’t relate to some of their opinions or views.

There was very little news in the bulletin.
The main stories were Hostages, Tony Jones, Election, Trump and a mention of TikTok.
Then after Finance, 5 brief RVOs then onto the flower interview. After the break it was entertainment then sport.
Yes, it has Anthony De Ceglie stamped all over this bulletin.

Apart from a brief drop out it doesn’t sound any different to me that it usually does, though that might have something to do with me being use to it since I live in Adelaide and watch it regularly.

Visually I think it looks appalling. They’ve botched the package with all these different elements which makes the set and graphics look extremely cluttered.
The new backdrop behind Tarsh is way too busy. The old national backdrop is so much easier on the eye.
Too much red on the set too now. Doesn’t help that Tarsh blended into it with the choice of clothing.
As I also mentioned earlier, the logo/name is terrible and it looks terrible on the desk.
If they want to persist with this “National News” branding, just have “7 National News” on the desk.
Compare the compare and notice how much easier on the eye 10’s package is
If they scale back some of the clutter it will look much better.

The new backdrop looks nice. The old one looks blurry to me

It’s because (for whatever reason) Ann Sanders wanted to have a soft blur on her face.

I watched 10 News First Lunchtime in comparison. It’s a far better product than Sevens offering. Even the entertainment segment moves along nicely and more news provided.

It’s a bit like a less newsy version of NBC News Daily, should have called it 7 News Daily.

Compare a few strips of “too much” red to the literal ocean of blue?

10s certainly isn’t perfect as I’ve thoroughly discussed in the past, but it’s a lot less jarring to the eye than the mix of red and white.
Each to their own.

Tarsh is so good.

The EP running the show was the EP of The Latest before it moved to Perth.

I just love that Tarsh is presenting a bulletin again.
I guess for 12pm you don’t really need a hard hitting bulletin, you need something you can chop up that will be dispersed on specials and grabs hits.
I also quite like the all white supers. It’s fresh.
I also don’t mind the set background. I’m hoping (although unlikely) maybe we will get some updated title cards for the metro bulletins. Wishful I guess.

7 News midday loooks 10000000000% nicer than Ten’s cheap under the sea routine. The red and white look great, the only thing I’d change is simplify the background to have just one globe/map in the main seated shot. It’s certainly nicer than some weird buildings.
