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?

What do you suggest it is then?
Temporary bulletin for summer or leading up to Christmas.
Without confirmation from the network as yet of the return of a late bulletin.

Na, that’s a waste. Has to be permanent or at the very least, a summer trial.

I agree, the name screams “temporary/over Summer program” to me.
One would imagine that a permanent Seven Late News bulletin would be branded as just that, especially these days.

What date is new bulletin meant to start?
December 19
It’s just very strange to launch a new bulletin at this time of the year, when most newsrooms are slowing down for the holidays.

It’s the perfect opportunity though to launch on the first night of the Big Bash. It’s extremely popular and what other program will be able to provide them with that big of an audience lead in at 10:30pm at night?

I hope they choose to shorten the news as opposed to having the schedule run late all night. They have the luxury with these 60 minute bulletins.
To be honest, it’s none rating season, they can afford to push the schedule back.

No need to shorten news bulletin with a Sunday Night repeat and then movie Absolutely Fabulous scheduled it’s non-rating period anyway.

This is so ridiculous. In the age of multichannels there is absolutely no need for this. The news won’t be on until 7pm at this rate.

Agree, it would be a different story if they had new expensive content tonight, but it’s all repeats.
