They do during an ad break, usually between 6:45 & 7pm.

I saw one on Prime7 Newcastle tonight just before David Browns 7News Sydney weather forecast at 6.55 - it was presented by Karl Lijnders.
The one that they show on Prime 7TWO between 7.30 and 8.30 is just set to music - so why they don’t use the Karl Lijnders one there too beats me.

I’m pretty sure that Prime7 have long produced Weather Updates for the regions without full bulletins which air during the final ad break of Seven News. From what I’ve seen in the past, Daniel Gibson usually presented these however it’s quite possible that Karl Lijnders has since replaced Dan on those updates.
As for why Prime7 airs so many updates with just the graphics and music in regions without full news bulletins…maybe because Karl Lijnders is busy presenting weather segments and updates for the regions that do have proper Prime7 News bulletins?

For regions that get updates in Victoria you only get 4 news updates and 3 weather updates per weekday all in the evening. All the weather updates on the multi channels to my knowledge never have a presenter, neither does the weather update during the 4pm news and after the last update around 11:40pm.
Daniel Gibson is the usually weather reader but last night he was reading news updates in the early evening, Liz Gwynn returned to read the remaining 2 updates after 10:30pm.
Airing 7.30pm Monday 27 November. I assume NSW/ACT and VIC. No mention of GWN7.
A couple of caps of Karl Lijnder’s weather forecast from PRIME7 Central Coast.
Ala NBN, it’s the same one that Newcastle gets.
I find it interesting that Quirindi gets a listing, given Murrurundi is already there.

There are days when Quirindi feels different weather wise to Murrurundi. I’ve worked in the two towns on the same day and noticed that I had to take off or put on pieces of clothing. There are differences.

Another difference is that Quirindi isn’t really considered part of the Hunter or Central Coast, though I know Forster gets listed too.
No mention of Merriwa though, which is considered part of the Hunter.
In Noodle update markets, Prime make a promo for Seven News - usually updated daily with footage from that day’s Seven News bulletin.
In NSW, there are two versions - one for Canberra and the other for Wollongong/Newcastle (and I assume Gold Coast as well). The only difference is that on the Canberra one the strap at the bottom says “Canberra’s Number 1 News Hour” (and on the end tag).
Here is both versions from last week recorded on the same day:
It seems that the same vision is used in promos for the 6.30 National News in local bulletin markets:

Wow! It took like FOREVER for Prime7 to refresh their Seven News graphics for noodle regions. It also look like as if Seven produced the promo (given that the smooth graphics timing at the endtag was plausible), yet it wasn’t.
Any recording of this?

A pity there isn’t a “Canberra’s Number 1” voiceover for the end of Canberra’s version of the promo, but apart from that it’s good to see that Prime7 has finally updated their custom promos for Seven News Sydney to reflect the current Sydney promotional style.
The previous “What is Experience? Experience is Reliability, Experience is Authority” promo style used by Prime7 to promote Seven News dated back to Late 2015 (Sydney moved on from this ages ago), so they were due for an update.
Aside from the “Canberra’s Number 1 News Hour” super and Prime7’s choice of news footage, the promo basically was produced by Seven.

Is “Canberra’s No. 1 news hour” to reflect it beats SCA9 News / WIN News? But doesn’t beat ABC News (7pm)? Or is it indeed No. 1 overall.
I know it’s difficult to discuss regional ratings here
