And they must be wondering why when they’re shifting the bulletin around like shuffling deck chairs on the Titanic to suit their primetime schedule. It’s never going to work in a revolving timeslot.
But it’s not coming 4th as it was at 7pm. Is that correct?
I wouldn’t call it a revolving timelsot. For two weeks the show was at 7pm. The show’s audience slowly decreased over that time as interest in COVID-19 news post 6pm seemed to wane.
Seven decided that having an entertainment show at 7pm was a better fit for their schedule and ratings performance and have moved it to a later time.
No it’s not. I think we have to conclude that Seven isn’t happy with the performance across the hour at 8.30, however, because they are split coding to make the first 30 minutes look better and have today reduced most bulletins next week to 30 minutes.
Not correct or not coming 4th at 8.30?
Matt Doran is co-hosting with Mel tonight.
Mel has done every night except last Sunday I think…
Why did that 7 News tweet say Usher was hosting?
Half the time those posts on Facebook and Twitter are scheduled days, weeks, months in advance - So he maybe was originally, but asked for some time off…
That’s a serious effect.
There’s far too much blue in this show now, still looks a million times better than their primary news service however. I like that they’ve toned down on the use of all the red too for the covid-19 reporting, in fact I’ve noticed this for most networks actually.
Did you mean ‘decreased’?
I feel an hour is stretching it a little.
30 minutes and punchy at 10pm seems fine
Whatever late night demos seven enjoys can be programmed at 10.30
I would just like to see the latest consistently at 10, and the 10.30 slot weekdays be stripped also
Looks like usher got the boot… about time
Or @VictorianSun he was presenting Seven News Sydney’s 6pm bulletin and Matt Doran filled in for him like the last few Friday and Saturday nights.
He needs to be ushered out of the newsroom. The lowers the standard of Channel Seven
What’s your particular beef?
If only that were true!
Keep Mel on solo!
FYI, Usher’s much better than Mel. He knows how to present the Latest well.
You must be a nice person to be around.
