Live from… well, not Melbourne anymore.

is that from wikipedia stuart?

yeah its from Wikipedia, and accept that all national bulletins are coming live from SEVEN news central in Sydney now Nick ! not melbourne

can you put that in english? each state will run different ads during a shows even if its on a national level! so it really doesn’t matter where its coming from
P.S there was a report in the newspaper the other day that seven will introduce a saturday moring bulluten that will run for 1 hour at 11am. It was suggested that it would be called 7/11 like the old show years back, also their is a chance that mike amor will be hosting!!! I think that bec would be a better option or Jana Wendt who is making her move to back to

the point is it would never cross the minds of 7news execs to have it based in melb. everything is out of sydney now! And it shows, you can tell that they are using a lot of syd stories etc.

Funny you should mention Tracey spicer, she was just fired by Ten in an email because she is too old, that interview in on today tonight (28-11)

I know! too old according to Ten News!

Naomi RObson is 45, Sonia Kruger(dancing with the stars) is 44 and Jennifer Keyte who reads melb’s weekend 7news and Ann Sanders are both well into their 40s!

I think Mike is just filling in since sam would be doing weekends in sydney and they only let them work 5 days in a row so she’ll do mon-wed on the 430 and weekends in syd. It was the same when rebecca presented, she would also do summer weekends, and still does

Oh, and with the “only working 5 days thing”, that can’t be true poor Kyile Gillies has worked the early morning shifts on sunrise all week doing the News reader role while mel was away, then did sports presenter for seven news saturday night for sydney edition, weekend sunrise on sunday morning nationally and worked again later that night doing the sports presenter role on seven news sydney edition. She is Great !! thats some serious hours she has clocked up this week and some crappy hours !! hats off to her

One thing consyantly bugging me, I can’t find it on any website, The ratings for not just the 6pm news, but also national bulletins like all morning, 4.30 , and late news. Can anybody help me?

http://www.ebroadcast.com.au/eblah/b-tv/m-1160221524/ its got heaps of great stuff!! have fun

Ann is one of the best anchors on tv. Today (fri 15th dec) was her last day till late January. It seems I was right, Samantha Armytage was back on the 4.30 news yesterday.

He’s great Stu!

Ian Ross is good too,Stuart, he has history and I like that. But when facts come to facts Mark just always beats Roscoe.One question Stuart, how do you know what’s happeneing in your home-town when you don’t watch WIN NEWS?

I imagine the 7 would be better since 7QLD is a network station, unlike WIN, a 9 affiliate, so 7local news would have the full network resources and funding.

These are the top 20 programs for the period 10th December 2006 – 16th December 2006.

They show that nationaly more people watch Seven News (just) during the week than National Nine.
Sydney and Perth viewers watch Seven News more, and Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide viewers watch National Nine more.
The number 1 program for the week nationaly, however was the saturday edition of National Nine and 4th the sunday edition. Seven News saturday was 18th and sundays 10th.
So summing up, Seven News slightly has the lead nationaly during the week, and on the weekend National Nine is way out in front.
These are the official ratings from OzTAM…

It it just me , or is it unfair that Mike Amor is hosting two national News shos a day. 10.30 mornings and 4.30?? what a joke, give one to another presenter, or give a reporter a breakthrough chance, like Ella Callen or Nick marshall-McCormick or Robert Ovadia someone !!!!!!

Stu, Ann Sanders is on break, so Mike is the 1st rate fill in on the 10.30 morning news. Sam can’t present @ 4.30 cause she does Sydney weekends, so we get 2 doses of Mike !

seven was a bit lazy on the 1st-1st-07 , they had only an hour of sunrise, no 10.30 news, no 4.30 news, and on top of this the 4.30 news on nine has returned to Canberra!!!!

I’d say late 30s early 40s Cassie

Just learn to get along with it!

Rebecca presented the 4.30 news again today (2/4/2007) however it was from Sydney and I doubt it will be permanent. She was looking great and did a great job with her usual warmth and skill. Couple of weeks ago she hosted a 7news Melbourne special “Understanding Climate Change” it was on before the news one saturday. It was great. It is an extension of a series of public information ads for the Vic gov on saving water and energy.

Im switchin also because 7news wins everywhere except melbourne. 7news have ssssssssssssoooooooooooo much better graphic s news sets and weather gs

7 is starting to win in Melb on a regular basis. Some of the stories on NNN Melb lately have been fit for ACA. Trash.

Rebecca has been filling in for Anne Sanders on the Morning News this week, which is lovely, and while Samantha Armytage presents tt while Anna is away Rebecca is also doing the 4.30. From Sydney of coarse. She has been doing a great job, and looking great. However, as usual, the bulletins made at the Sydney news central are riddled with technical errors, a rariety at 7melb. Even during their 16hour live telethon there were few stuff ups

she is certainly showing her strengths. She did a great job on the easter weekend 7news, on the 12noon good friday appeal telethon news and then the sat and sun 6pm. I think the network has realised their folly. Hopefully they will reinstate her to the 4.30. maybe she will get a roll on their new 9am show. If they do put her back on the afternoon news, it should go back to melb cos the quality of the news and presentation was so much higher. in syd technical issues plague it and it can be so sydney centric. Maybe she will team up with naomi on her new show!
