Most kids watch shows online or on ABC Kids and 10 Shake. Maybe he might pop up on those channels.

Say it again, but slower…

WHY would a Seven-owned character appear on any other network??

From @SouthCoastTV [Final] Prime7 Possum | "Goodnight Boys & Girls" Message - (22.07.2022) - YouTube

[Travis]

Every night at 7.30. Usually during the last commercial break of Home and Away.

A brilliant article written in May that seems fitting with the changes currently underway.

The Long Goodnight of the Bedtime TV Mascot

Part public service announcement, part brand mascot, costumed critters have been wishing regional Australia goodnight for decades. What was the purpose of this cheap-and-cheerful phenomenon, and has this watershed moment in local kitsch passed?

I am not sure if the “Goodnight Boys and Girls” message need to be played at 7.30pm, given many young kids don’t go to bed until 8pm or 8.30pm.

That would never fly in my house growing up. I went to bed when Fat Cat was on and didn’t have a choice. Kids these days get away with anything.

My Mum got clever and recorded Fat Cat so she could trick me in to going to bed earlier. Such a dirty trick. I’m still holding on to that and I’m almost 40

Prime7 New Border > 7 News Border
Prime7 News Central West > 7 News Central West
Prime7 News North Coast > 7 News Coast
Prime7 News North West > 7 News New England
Prime7 News Wagga > 7 News Riverina

GWN not yet updated

Prime7 website now rebranded as 7 Regional:

[JasonF]

gwn7 news is now 7 news regional wa

[Bergoine]

Don’t like the “Regional” for WA. Just call it 7 News WA.

[Radiohead]

Probably to differentiate it from the 6pm Perth bulletin which is seen across all of WA.

[WAtvVideos]

Golden West would have been the perfect differentiation Oh well, I guess they don’t want any remnants left behind

[WAtvVideos]

Still no changes to the channel name here. GWN7 on satellite and terrestrial.

[Bergoine]

Vale GWN - 1986 to 2022.

Good memories of when they were a composite network with independent branding, taking programming from all three commercial stations with a comprehensive one hour news bulletin and some local programming. Their master control was as good as a metropolitan station at their peak in the 80’s and 90’s.

gwn7.com.au now redirects to 7regionalwa.com.au

[WAtvVideos]

Probably easier as they would have been designed as separate sites. I can’t imagine either 7regional.com.au or 7regionalwa.com.au will be around for very long.
