7 Melbourne/Prime7 appeared to play the wrong House Rules sneak peek after The Chase UK, which aired due to it finishing early because to a short news conference interrupting it.
It showed a team threatening to quit the competition, and that the reveals were about to begin, which is a sneak peek I’ve never seen before.
Not much of a spoiler, but still, whoops!

Whoops, just saw a main channel sponsor billboard on 7mate. Yet another play-out error. Interestingly it was an integrated one, Coles getting viewers to tune-in to Seven News at 6pm during an ad break to discover something (V/O by Deeksy)

update
Another error: 7mate promo for “The Lone Ranger” on Friday night also aired on 7flix, but that must only be for some markets, as Melbourne is getting From The Vault classic AFL (which also has its own promo and also aired tonight).

Interesting decision by Seven’s network presentation team, but I guess they had no choice due to the filmed format/quality of the master (from 2001 AFL season)

Nothing wrong with black bars. This just looks tacky

In comparison, 7mate Adelaide feed, showing a 2007 game, it’s clean with no Seven Sport watermark (from that time) and also 16:9 aspect
They’ve made them grey, which I reckon is worse/more distracting

Maybe they should be green.
Why wouldn’t they have WS in 2001?

AFL wasn’t recorded in widescreen until 2002. I would suggest Seven did not want to go to the expense of throwing out their cameras and equipment in 2001 to make that happen. Would have been quite an expensive exercise to do so.

Especially when Seven only had the AFL for the 2001 season before the Nine/Ten/Foxtel deal kicked in.
Of course by the time that deal expired and Seven once again were an AFL broadcaster, all those old 4.3-only cameras and equipment would’ve been long retired in favour of widescreen stuff?

Seven’s Sydney News was in 4:3 until the move to Martin Place in August 2004. All the other capital cities had moved to 16:9 presentation by then.

Melbourne’s probably coincided with the move to Docklands in the early 2000s.

Correct 2002.
