I am not surprised by the culture at 7 News Melbourne, May be just me but I feel like at times it’s evident on air.
As for every other network, let’s not act like they are all saints and free from culture issues. I would say all of them have issues, they aren’t just documented enough. So unless anyone here has inside information from a reporter on “there perception” of culture in the workplace lets take it with a grain of salt.
The only point to really remember here is that when you’re perpetually number two and chasing the leader - in this case N9N Melbourne - these issues are going to be amplified. Everyone is alive to the fact that you’re losing, and losing badly.
Often also losing senior women from the newsroom can be an issue - in this case, Jen Keyte was a big mentor in the 7 newsroom particularly for the young female reporters, so her departure is going to felt particularly acutely.

Offensive, sexist and just down right rude remarks were recorded in the 7 News black book — “put it in the book” was often bellowed — only for the comments to be read out at the annual Christmas party to much haw-hawing and back slapping.
Sunday - Tim Watson presenting sport from Marvel Stadium after the Renegades beat the Stars to win the BBL title.
Basil Zempilas has hosted his own footy show in Perth back in the mid-90s. I think he flew to Sydney to present the 2000 Summer Olympics (IIRC) and commentated the Salt Lake 2002 Games. He also covered the sudden death of Seven Perth sports presenter, Chris Mainwaring in Oct 2007 (I didn’t watch it as I was in overseas).
