Looks like the production ender has been updated. Same style as the current idents.
Not sure how long this has been the case, but I noticed that when the Seven streams break away to show Border Security or whatever crime reality show in place of cricket/footy, they now present it like a normal channel with watermark and commercial breaks with back-to-back 7+ promos.
For years theyâd just do a piss poor hard switch to Border Security as the sport begins and it would just be a continual commercial-free binge run of random episodes until well after the sport finished. At least now thereâs some effort. Would be nice if I could get access to an EPG for these break aways!
Pretty cool!
They have also released a hole stack of channels on 7 Plus for some of their shows. For example a channel playing Blue Heelers episodes. I do not see the point of doing this itâs a waste of bandwidth. If I want to watch Blue Heelers I would choose an episode on demand. They have all seasons available. I havenât watched the channel other than for a minute or so to see what it was. I am assuming it has commercials. If they can do it for a dedicated Blue Heelers channel and waste their bandwidth they can do the same for breakaway programs. However the need to do it in the first place isnât doing Seven any favours.
The 7 Plus app is dreadful very unuser friendly
These channels have been running for a couple of months now. Youâre right, you could just watch the show on demand but I guess itâs adding value to the service. Maybe they could do 7three and start showing some of the classic 7 programming from years ago, they have the catalog for it.
7vault or 7classic
Isnât that just the Aussie Classics channel?
Iâm surprised they havenât done +1 channels of their linear ones.
Have Seven dropped the ânext upâ wording? Promos for The Voice tonight just saying âstarts tonightâ or âstarts nextâ (but could just be because of the âstartâ).
edit
Looks like no?
I was confused for a sec and thought that cap was in response to them still using âNext upâ
âi sentence you to kiss my assâ
No they havenât unfortunately. Personally I always thought it sounded weird. Whatâs wrong with just ânext on Sevenâ.
Playout error in Brisbane - promo/up next for The Voice seen at 10 minutes before midnight after the final had aired.
Why so early? Didnât it just start?
It was filler content ahead of the Winter Olympics taking over the schedule
Minor observation:
Main channel classification warningâs consumer advice was in CAPITALS (as it used to be pre-mid 2020 relaunch) at the beginning of SAS. Not suggesting a presentation refresh, but wonder if thereâll be some tweaked and/or returned elements on the network coinciding with the launch of the show tonight? Or more likely could just be a one-off error.
Ah yes, because nothing says âsportâ like a fleur-de-lis
Idiotic design.
Theyâre really going all out to target the over 65 market. First DWTS and now graphics that resemble wallpaper my grandmother had in 1977.
Iâm guessing itâs trying to capture the more âprestigiousâ side of horse racing. I donât think itâs too bad considering itâs obviously meant to tie into horse racing.
