Perth is definitely HD, the backgrounds behind presenters are low quality (especially afternoon news one) so it may at times look up scaled but it isn’t

I can’t believe this one hasn’t been mentioned yet, but it seems like Seven News Sydney are getting more native HD content into their bulletins with actual report content & more live crosses now going to air in native HD.
Some content was still only upconverted SD, things like the Federal Politics report were to be expected but last night Mel McLaughlin had an “Exclusive” interview with some cricketer and only the only camera which appeared to be in HD was the one focused on the interviewee. Not sure what the go was there!
Also while I’m here, Christmas Lights Super:
Keeping with the Western Sydney theme of this news service, the house featured there is at Smithfield.

I know right! Because we’re all wanting to report about certain native HD content in a specific news bulletin…
This is a thread called “Seven News Content and Appearance”. HD content would come under that.

Do we even know if Seven’s is permanent and not just during the cricket? Seems very strange to launch on a Wednesday in December!

I suspect they’re using the first night of the Big Bash to launch it. Surely it’s permanent?
Pretty sure it’s got nothing to do with just being on after the Cricket as it appears the late edition of Seven News will also air on Saturday 22 December after Carols in the Domain.
So it’s looking like they’re committing to late news 7 nights a week. (providing they have a bulletin on the Sunday)

The Latest: Seven News also seems to be happening on weekends? Foxtel’s guide has
this down as following Carols in the Domain on Saturday the 22nd. Very interesting

I’m also wondering if we are in for a relaunch of some sorts to coincide with the new 7NEWS.com.au site launching early next year. Exciting times for Seven News.

From what I recall, there were only minor tweaks to Nine News (adding .com.au into the supers/watermark) when 9News.com.au was launched in mid-2014.
I reckon Seven will probably do something similar - perhaps by having the “NEWS” part of the corner screen logo rotating to promote the website.
Either way, it’s exciting times. Who would ever have thought we would have a late night news bulletin 7 nights a week these days. I wonder what the motivation is behind this. It’s a very interesting development.

Seven News Perth just aired an update that was around 3 Minutes long. It featured the weather lower third as seen in Sydney.

Maybe it is local?
Going from the description, it doesn’t sound like it’ll be local.
Latest news, sport and weather from Australia and around the world.
“from Australia and around the world” and not, for example, “from Sydney, Australia and around and the world” ?

This is true.
Nonetheless, it’s a step in the right direction. Let’s just see if they’re committed long term to keeping this and keeping it at a consistent timeslot. So far it looks like 10:30pm every night.

Wouldn’t it be funny if this was some sort of error “somehow” in the EPG.
Certainly an interesting move to go for 7-night a week late news. One can only think that Nine will provide something soon after as competition.

If Nine is smart, they’ll sneak in Monday week, two days before Seven’s launch.

Has it been confirmed anywhere that this is actually a permanent bulletin?
