I think the age of the ‘voice of God’ news anchor is coming to an end worldwide. The focus seems to be increasingly on the reporters (and of course the news itself!) as much, if not more, than the anchors.

Not in the US. NBC puts Lester Holt on a pedastal. Same with ABC and David Muir and CBS with Norah O’Donnell. They also still focus on anchors in the local markets.
Similarly here. All marketing surrounds the anchors, particularly with 7.

“Welcome to ABC News tonight, tonight we go live to New York tonight where our reporter tonight, is outside braving the cold before a mega storm crosses the coast tonight.”

I think America is a special case, though, and Australia likes to copy everything America does. 7 as you say is particularly American.
The UK is very Mon-Thurs, Fri- Sun, with two teams.
