Do Seven air line-ups anymore?
I see them all the time on Ch 9 & Ch 10.
Never seen one.

They use to.
Prime7 still do.
Seven havenât aired lineups since 2012, they were dumped even before the On-Air Presentation relaunch on Melbourne Cup day that year IIRC.

So what is their main method of promoting their prime-time on-air then?
Just lots of consecutive promos?
Sevenâs main method of promoting their primetime lineup is just running promos for those shows on a very high rotation. Anyone who watches the tennis should be well and truly sick and tired of Sevenâs promos for their 2017 lineup by January 30âŚ

YES! Iâm so over that annoying repetitive Home and Away ad that they seem to show every ad break!
If only we had 4K channels! Although 7 4K and 9 4K sounds a bit weirdâŚ

Well they never stick to the advertised times so they must be avoiding false advertising.

Thatâs why theyâd be called 7 UHD & 9 UHD (Ultra High Definition).
But that much broadcast bandwidth just isnât available so weâre unlikely to see those for a very long time. Once the fibre-to-the-premises NBN was killed off we lost the best way of handling the large bandwidth requirements of such high resolution video traffic to every home (which wouldâve been nice for getting every channel in at least 1080p/Full HD before 4k/UHD).

Minor I know, but I think that the design of the In-Program Lotto Results Graphics have been updated fairly recently. The 1st cap is from December 17, the 2nd is from last night:
Yes, both caps have been resized to SD (the first was originally intended to be just for my personal archives until the tweak) but rest assured that both the old & new graphics were seen in native HD where available. You get the general idea anyway.
For what itâs worth I think the newer graphic is a decent simplification, although I probably wouldâve preferred to see the current network fonts used rather than the font from the old 2011-12 era graphics.

I donât know about other cities but in Melbourne in the olden days even Channels 9 and 10 would display the lotto numbers on screen after 7 had televised the draw⌠so that they didnât risk viewers tuning out to catch the numbers.

Slightly different look on the âafter the tennisâ Better Homes and Gardens promo. A hint at a presentation refresh?

Yeah itâs a flat sliding bars with bright colours style. The same is used on a new âWe just love he footyâ promo the other day as wellâŚ

For anyone interested, I was reading online that Sevenâs promotions department produces over 800 promos per week for the network.
Thatâs a hell of a lot!
Like @SydneyCityTV said, because Seven donât air line-ups like Nine and Ten do, they probably need a lot more promos airing more frequently.

Well, Iâm calling it out as bullshit. How could they be producing 800 promos per week for the network and why would they even need that many?
Yeah it seems high but counting the âŚday, Tomorrow, Tonight, Next, variants for each weekly programme gets it down to 200 per week, of course news (& Sunrise) ones change more frequently than weekly shows, plus thereâs any other weekday programmes with content-specific promos (but Iâve mostly seen just generic promos for the likes of The Chase).

Donât forget that some promos also have variations that are different lengths. Plus do Seven produce any promos for Prime?
