This a very rare find for the media spy world, thanks largely to Andrew Hislop youtube page This is the Seven Network’s first usage of the Sunrise brand for a Seven News bulletin. Click on the link to watch. (love the authority) ---

I never realised how much effort the national Sunrise team put into their crosses to the local Perth News, with a specialised V/O and intro. Much better than Today in this aspect (opposite for the local presentation though). Thanks @ScreenTower ---

Personally, I find it really annoying how much they are trying to push the Sunrise Perth News in WA and it is too over the top that they find it necessary to do it every half hour after 7am when the stories are virtually exactly the same each half hour. If they really find it necessary to do Perth News for WA they should just do it once each hour on the hour from 6am in my honest opinion. I find it really irritating how as of this week, they are now advertising the Perth news even with a specialised promo with Amelia Broun, not even Matt Tinney who is the official Sunrise Perth newsreader, and through in-program advertising too. This just feels like too much to me, they don’t need to advertise it like this do they? I thought Sunrise was already doing well with the ratings in WA particularly like most other Seven programmes and the news especially? ---

> [@Mitchell\_Nock](#): > > they are now advertising the Perth news even with a specialised promo with Amelia Broun, not even Matt Tinney who is the official Sunrise Perth newsreader, They make new promos every day… you’ll notice if you listen to the stories being read in the promo. You still need to promote your brand even if you are winning… and I think there commitment to Perth and WA is better than ever before. It was rare for Perth stories to come up in the national news prior to Perth news. ---

Adding in that they say Perth and WA too much as well. The editing in is also still very choppy in places each day. Amelia is a much better presenter than Matt too. ---

I must be the only one who likes the local touch. It seems so much more polished IMO. The content may be repetative, but thats the normal for the national news too. Nine’s treated like a seperate program, whereas seven has it as part of sunrise. ---

Is Sally Bowrey coming back from maternity leave? I always suspected that Ange wasn’t permanent, despite Talitha’s sacking. Yes, I dare say Sally Bowrey will be back from maternity leave next weekend. ---
