The Brisbane RNA Shoe (Ekka) would be normally starting this week in Brisbane and 7News is a major sponsor. This allows them increased (but not exclusive) access to the site. In previous years there were crosses to the show during the news, weather was on-site while the 4pm local news debuted live from the grounds 5 years ago this week.
With the RNA show cancelled this year Seven is promoting an Ekka-themed competition.
Opener First regular 7 Brisbane Local News 2015 first bulletin
I really hope next year for the Olympics (if Seven have the rights) they go back to their old theme, with a fresh look, similar to the 2004 - 2010 graphics. They were so good!
One can only dream though.
I’m hoping we see the same version NBC Nightly News uses. It is almost very similar to the previous 7 News theme but with a few distinct changes.
I know this poll is somewhat pointless but now @Abesty put them out there…

I’ve voted old, only because I hate the red box they have included and the removal of the gold “Seven News” font/text. Added a bit of class.
Is there an option for neither? Cause I would choose that one.
Completely random, but I happened to come across this which might be of interest.
The “new” OTS that Adelaide uses for the main bulletin is actually the same OTS they first introduced for sport last year.
Ah yes, you’re right!
Promo targetting especially the Gold Coast market to counter Nine’s GC weather promo that says “will never give up on Gold Coast viewers”.
Seven’s message “While others pretend, Tony is the real deal. Giving you a more accurate forecast.”
Using the older 7News logo?
Not a fan it’s an ugly angle still, it mimics the horrendous opening title shot. I’d rather they go back to the “down the Yarra” or Hamer hall shot
Must be the first time out on location for sport since the pandemic began?
A promo for the Gold Coast, but only Max & Sharyn at the end?
According to the Courier Mail - Seven News Queensland will broadcast live from the Brisbane Showgrounds on Thursday night. It will provide a lead-in to the airing of a special fireworks display, in lieu of the Ekka not taking place this year.
It doesn’t mention if the fireworks display will be in the back end of the news bulletin, or if it will take it’s own separate program after the bulletin - as TV guides still list Home and Away. But one imagines if was within the bulletin, it will cause issues with the cut-down 6.30pm regional version.
I saw an updated schedule earlier and it’s being shown across Qld regional as well.
