There is always ways to improve. But right now I would say it’s just not a smarty allocation of funds and resources. They DOMINATE at 630 across Queensland
Meanwhile post 7pm in seven the entire national network falls apart
That’s where they need All efforts and money right now
If you have the best interests or Seven in mind you would agree.
@petepete83
I didn’t suggest they should do it right now but in the longer term I think it’s something they should look at if they want to hold on to the number 1 position.
Fact is 7Qld dominate at 6.30 because they keep the viewers from the good product they produce at 6pm and also because if you switch to any other channel you’re also going to get a SEQ-centric bulletin so there’s no incentive to do so.
I don’t have the best interests of 7 or any network in mind, I have the best interests of the viewer in mind as it’s the viewers that keep these companies in business. Without us, there’s no eyeballs for them to sell to advertisers.
I agree. But right now the viewers seem very happy with the news they get. If not they would turn off.
If the Prime merger ends up going through, 7 could produce a 6:30pm national bulletin for 7Q and regional NSW that gets repeated on 7TWO at 7pm. Fronted by Angela Cox perhaps. Nothing flash…very much like the early news format.
I do think Prime and 7 will
Merge in 2020/21
2 large shareholders who were acting in personal interests rather than the interests of prime stopped it
But now with Covid. Everything changes. They need to survive
I think the only problem with this plan is that the National News for the Queensland and NSW would still need to be different re: state politics and state issues. Unless you make the conscious decision to put all state-based stuff in the local bulletins too.
6 posts were merged into an existing topic: Nine (Southern Cross)
But if you run it like the early news, both states issues get a run like a true national bulletin.
I do believe though the 7 wouldn’t do it because they market Sharyn & Max too much across the state. I’d love to see them at least pre-record a decent bulletin though, and only do the cutdown in breaking situations.
With no Nine News regional at the moment, I’ve decided to watch Seven News Regional tonight.
Can’t stand listening to Rob Brough reading the autocue.
The story that just aired a moment ago, he read out as:
“forcing residents… to pay their respects… from their… driveways”
Why can’t he say any more than 2 to 4 words without pausing constantly
I’m sure he’s not a bad person but as a presenter unfortunately his presentation isn’t the greatest. Ideally they should make Joanne Desmond the main anchor and Steve Titmus joining her in regions with doubleheaders.
Which is a shame as I remember watching bulletins from the 1990s where Brough was actually half decent as a presenter.
Agreed, I much prefer when Broughy is away and it’s Jo Desmond/Steve Titmus on. I’m with @Tom_TV7 and would like to see that pairing full-time in the non-Sunny Coast markets. Or maybe a Jo Desmond/Katie Toney pairing for something different.
Livio is starting to annoy me a bit too now with his delivery. I wish they’d go back to Rosanna Natoli instead of sticking her on Updates and Filling in all the time.
Does anyone remember the reason she was replaced?
Broughy will be there til hecalls time. He wins the ratings so there’s no need to change.
I’m not sure exactly but I feel that around the time Livio arrived on the scene, Rosanna’s husband had been elected mayor of the Sunshine Coast Council so she may have wanted to step back a bit to support him?

Today, 7 News in regional Queensland has closed its Gladstone bureau and made several staff redundant.
A cameraman in the Hervey Bay bureau was also made redundant, as was a reporter in the Sunshine Coast bureau in Maroochydore.
Seven’s massive news ratings, averaging close to an 80 share along the Queensland coast, have not shielded the news operations from severe cuts.
Insiders say all Seven Queensland production teams have also been shown the door today.

You could only imagine they will close their Sunshine Coast studios and relocate to share resources at Mt Coot-tha. Does anybody know if they lease or own the property at Maroochydore?
Wow… I’m pretty shocked…
all? What does this mean then??
Shocking news.
10 year lease on Maroochydore
