We all grew up going to the zoo to see Tricia. 65 years of people doing that. She was an icon and a big part of Perth life. It might seem corny, but she was very loved. And I think that’s great.
Susannahs story on the news last night (at number 2 - and was for a good 10 mins) was beautiful.

Perth still is basically a big country town

I’m not sure your point?
The local Elephant passing is worthy of a prime-time special?

Sure is.
Perth is caring more about the passing of an elephant now rather than one of the biggest events of the year.

Sorry but a news special about an elephant passing away…it’s sad, but she lived her life.
I don’t think it warrants prime time programming .
Perth astounds me with the mentality sometimes, they really do live in a bubble sometimes…

It’s so weird. Never knew about her until reading the news about her today

Lots of reactions tonight for something that is strictly local. I mean if there’s any silver lining it’s good that Seven is happy to breakaway from national programming to cater for their local audiences (even if it’s Perth of all places). Shows that they still somewhat care.
If it was a national special, then yes it would appear much more OTT.

What event is that?
No different to Melbourne having AFL as the second story every night. It’s all relative to the local area.

Thats a sporting code that the network paid hundreds of millions of dollars to broadcast that is weekly event / code… I think comparing that to a elephant that died is clutching at straws.
Polar opposites.
Look I don’t have an issue with them broadcasting about it, but under the 7news banner is a bit weird for a special. Is it just montages of an elephant for an hour?

It’s a Saturday night. You’d prefer another Border Security rerun over a local special? It’s just an extension of the package Susannah did of her visit to the zoo for 6pm the other night. Cheap, easy, relevant and local programming.
