No problem for them. It’s almost better: means less waffle between races.

The more races the more viewers. Ratings for Derby Day and Golden Eagle Day for 7 will be big with the two marquee races on one network.
Last year viewers watched the Big Dance on 7 unaware the Melbourne Cup itself is on 10 on Cup Day. Having both the Big Dance and the Melbourne Cup for the first time will bring in huge numbers.

Seven strikes deal with Hockey Australia
Live and free on 7plus
The Seven Network is excited to announce a new landmark agreement with Hockey Australia to broadcast the best of the sport on Channel 7 and 7plus.
The initial two-year agreement will see all internationally sanctioned matches played by Australia’s iconic national teams, the Kookaburras and Hockeyroos, as well as every match of the Hockey One League 2023 and 2024 seasons shown live and free on 7plus.
Managing Director Seven Melbourne and Head of Network Sport, Lewis Martin, said:
“Channel 7 viewers have long been absorbed by the fast pace, skill and athleticism of elite hockey, most notably when our national teams go for gold at the Olympic and Commonwealth Games.
“This new partnership with Hockey Australia will allow audiences to follow our home-grown stars from the grassroots of the game to the major championships.”
Hockey Australia chief executive officer, David Pryles said the new broadcasting deal with such a highly regarded network is a game changer for the sport.
“This is an exciting and significant day for hockey in Australia, as this agreement with the Seven Network will provide greater visibility and awareness of our national teams and the Hockey One League.”
“Bringing all Kookaburras and Hockeyroos matches to 7plus will expose our world class teams and athletes to new audiences and make them accessible to more people more often, by being offered live and free.”
Mr Pryles added: ““The Seven Network has an exceptional record and reputation for broadcasting sport and we look forward to working closely with them over the next two years.”
7plus is the Seven Network’s free streaming service, connecting with over 13 million active, registered users and is distributed on 13 platforms, including all major Connected TVs, Web, Mobile (iOS & Android) and Casting (Chromecast & Airplay).
The first matches to be shown on 7plus under the new partnership will be the highly anticipated Oceania Cup in Whangārei, New Zealand from August 10-13, 2023.
The Oceania Cup sees the Kookaburras and Hockeyroos take on their New Zealand counterparts in a best-of-three series, with the winners automatically qualifying for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

Did Seven stuff up scheduling, ID promo in Melbourne for 7mate 7pm last night during AFL and this morning during Weekend Sunrise, guides now saying FIFA then movies from 8:30pm (the seqeul very late now surely they’ll pull not to waste, originally 9:50 here), not sure about other markets and promos.
Wasn’t the FIFA World Cup always on 7mate tonight & tmr night in all states except QLD?

No, originally in Melbourne at least, 7mate had Independence Day followed by Independence Day 2 from 7pm, including promos for that timeslot as late as this morning on main channel (also during AFL last night), must’ve been a mistake, but a rather large one at that to make it to the promo team and them ingesting that for play-out. Whoops.
