Seven News Content and Appearance

I get the desire to try something different and take some risks. But as anyone who has ever watched Moneyball knows, sometimes you just have to get on base, and every time he stepped up to bat, he struck out.

7 in Brisbane needs to decide on a campaign.
“Unstoppable” still features at the end of their coffee shop visits promo. TV ads say “7News Brisbane. Live at 6”, radio ads say, “Tonight on Queensland’s 7 News.”

I know typos on supers happen pretty often, but I had to post this one from the Melbourne bulletin tonight.

Tonight’s episode was the last episode of “Inside Media”.

Yes with the reasons to be explained later. I overall liked Inside Media but what I did not like was the constant Nine bashing. You need to also be critical of Seven as well not just your major competitor. I would say the main reason is that viewership on sevennews.com.au and YouTube just wasn’t high enough to justify McKnight’s time but I am sure we will find out in good time or maybe @blackbox can enlighten us.

I’m can honestly say viewing numbers has nothing to do with it.

Did you not see the recent video/article where I literally defended the TODAY show against the criticism levelled against it by media watch?

I think it’s really unfair to say I only bashed nine. People say the same about 10 when I can point many instances where I’ve complimented them, specifically their 8.30 programming atm.

I play a pretty straight bat.

Were they not using these before?
Or was it the older slanted style they were using?

They were using the old slanted box style, yes.

As I commented on the YouTube video you missed an important fact that while Nine were overseas it was right in the middle of the Taree floods and it was not a good look. They should have delayed the trip even though it may have been difficult to do so which was the point of the Media Watch story which was a valid point. The Today show or Sunrise can go anywhere they like as long as any commercial arrangements are declared. But it can’t be in the credits at the end of the show it should be a super during the segment due to the nature of how people watch the shows.

It’s a real shame they don’t use the vertical screen more in their bulletins - it could add a great deal of dynamism and a point of difference

A bit meh, if you ask me. Kind of just gets lost.
