Seven News would have to have some of the largest obtrusive graphics, so unnecessary.
Seven Brisbane opener - Nine reporter can be clearly heard in background also doing a live cross @ 2:02.

Either Nat Wallace talks too loud or Ben was too close to him. LOL. Seven started the live cross right at the end of a SOT on Nine, so probably thought Nat was done and then he starts talking again as soon as they cross to Ben. Oops. You can vaguely hear Ben talking on Nineâs cross too.

Initially I thought it was some sort of echo from the future 
as both reporters say similar things.

This will always be my favourite news opener from 7⌠Short lived, but all class.

In the exact order itâs in. I love that first one and the graphics!! Those graphics would still not look old, stale or boring if they were still in use today!
I have always much preferred a newsroom backdrop as appose to a globe.

My absolute favourite was during the mid-2000s with the open Melbourne newsroom:
However, in saying that I donât think that all national news bulletins should have a newsroom nor a globe. A nice mix is great, like it currently is (Nine and ABC with the newsroom, Seven and Ten with the globe).

Nine has a mix I think with Dotted Globe mixed in with the newsroom.
In saying that however, when can Seven News get the globe right? We have Nine, ABC and Ten all looking very professional, and then we have that sphere stuck in the middle of the sky?

But Nine had sphere stuck in the middle of the sky too. But regardless whoevers looked better the concept was still a bit stupid imo
The first image is the most iconic backdrop for Seven in that era.

Much prefer the old âpokiesâ backdrop then the globe or the map.
Although as also linked the Melbourne newsroom backdrop on the 4:30 news of old was also great. That bulletin was all class, hard to believe that Seven used to have a hard news bulletin like that in their schedule at all considering what we see nowadays.

Am I the only one who hated the pokies? It looked rubbish IMO. I agree with @Squee about the 4.30 backgeound from Melbourne but Iâll take the globes over the pokies anyday

I personally liked this one which was adopted when the new set Syd/national set launched Feb 1, 2016, to accommodate the larger backdrop screen - it was a nice update to the previous ârising sunâ globe, thoughâ it didnât last long before being replaced by the current globe background.

The first one is by far the best and could still probably be used for national Early News, Morning News and Afternoon News bulletins.
Iâd really like to see Seven Melbourne use the newsroom as the backdrop for the Afternoon news. The current backdrop looks quite dated even if new. All theyâd have to do would be pull back the curtain and plonk a desk in front and use OTS graphics or a spare plasma for it. Better than the current quarter of the plasma wall thatâs used which looks a bit poor in image quality for the OTS.
I see 7 in Adelaide today had AFL from 4pm, then House Rules from 6.45 and MKR from 7.45.
So how did they accommodate news?
Would have had to be at half time during the football?
So a short 20 min bulletin at 5.15pm or thereabouts?
