To Dan, 7 has now lived up to the potential of the yahoo7 site and there is substantial coverage of all their shows, locally made ones and imports.

What is “Brakey Central”? I hear it a lot in the beginning sequence! It became a joke for my friends at the student TV station at my school, where we rename it “Crikey Central”.

Count yourselves lucky your breakfast television even HAS a set!

I live in Ireland and between 6 and 10 am we have the choice of :

RTE 1 : Re-runs of yesterday’s talk shows; a 5 minute news update every hour.

RTE 2 : Kids shows – Dora the Explorer (a bit advanced for me…)

TV 3 : Ireland AM (Like Sunrise but presented from what could even be a garden shed to be fair)

TG 4 : EURONEWS! It’s a news channel that covers the whole of Europe with reports from all of the PSBs dubbed in English, and plays the same thing every 15 minutes. Oh – and no in-vision presenters, ads or interseting stuff. Ah well – it could be worse. They could be standing up.

They use a Remix by Jason Nevins that is only avaliable on the ‘Queer Eye for the Straight Guy’ soundtrack.

The song they use for the start is ‘Reach up for the Sunrise’ by Duran Duran. I think its sped up a little bit.

I was wondering, what is the name of the music used for the intro sequence? I know it is not library music and all, but I forgot the name of that song. Can anyone help me out?

The problem is that for all of the corporate synergy involved in the creation of Yahoo7, it has the same fundamental problem that NineMsn maintains. It completely lacks substance.

Yahoo’s search engine is at least better than MSN’s, and the interface isn’t all too horrible, but I expect more from Yahoo7 than just a portal. With so much content devised daily for broadcast, it’s a shame that they can’t actually create some written content to support their programming. Outside of their news shows and big US import series, there is a complete lack of content relating to their other programming. Why not use the website to its full potential and market the entire range of programming on offer?

The Internet is a move away from having to follow the masses. It allows people to tailor their media experience to their own whims. To simply force the same key content from broadcast onto this new media is, well, uninspiring.
