The
Seven Network is an Australian television network,
owned by the Seven Media Group. Seven dates back to
December 2, 1956, when the first stations on the VHF7
frequency were established in Sydney and Melbourne.
The network is currently the largest network in the
country in terms of population reach. Seven has traditionally
been the second highest rating television network
in Australia, trailing its traditional rival the Nine
Network, but just ahead of Network Ten. Seven have
won the ratings year twice since 1978, in 2000 and
2007.
Seven's
headquarters are based in a converted warehouse at
Jones Bay Wharf in Pyrmont, Sydney. National news
and current affairs programming is based at studios
in Martin Place, while the network's main production
studios are located at Epping in Sydney's northern
suburbs. In 2009, Seven will move their Epping based
operations to a purpose built high-definition television
production facility at the Australian Technology Park
in Redfern. The majority of content is broadcast out
of the network's digital Broadcast Centre in the Melbourne
Docklands.

News
and Current Affairs
The
Seven Network's news service is called Seven News.
After trailing for many years, to National Nine News,
Seven rebounded effective from February 2005 to the
future, and claimed to be Australia's number one in
news and current affairs. Seven News produces several
news bulletins and news programs including; Sunrise,
The Morning Show, Weekend Sunrise, Seven Morning News,
Seven 4.30 News, Seven News, Seven's Late News Updates,
and Today Tonight. During the early hours of 4am to
6am, Seven rebroadcasts some of American television
network NBC's news and current affairs programming,
including Today, Weekend Today, Dateline NBC and Meet
the Press.
In
recent years under the guidance of former longtime
National Nine News chief, Peter Meakin, Seven's news
and current affairs have produced more locally-focussed
content, which has been lifting ratings for key markets
such as Sydney and Melbourne. Since February 2005,
the ratings of Deal or No Deal, Seven News and Today
Tonight have gradually increased. Seven News was the
highest-rating news service nationally in both the
2005 and 2006 ratings seasons. A key aspect of Seven's
recent ratings dominance in news and current affairs
has been attributed to Deal or No Deal's top rating
audience, which provides Seven News with a large lead-in
audience. In 2007, Seven News completed a clean sweep
across the five capital cities in terms of being the
most watched 6pm news bulletin. On July 5, 2008, Seven
News finally launched a '7' watermark located on the
Bottom Left. This will be shown on The Morning Show,
Seven News & Today Tonight only. The watermark
was not allowed to be broadcast on Sunrise or neither
Weekend Sunrise because of live coverages.

is a major player in Australian sports broadcasting.
The 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney resulted in huge
ratings for the network, with over 6.5 million Australians
viewing the telecast of opening and closing ceremonies.

subscription channel.
After
the 2001 season Seven ended its famous 45-year run
as AFL football broadcaster when the Nine Network
and Network Ten, along with pay TV provider Foxtel,
jointly won the television rights. On January 5, 2006
the Australian Football League accepted a bid from
Seven and Ten to broadcast AFL games from 2007 - 2011
at a cost of AU$780 million.

opening and closing ceremonies and mainstream sport's
including swimming, athletics, rowing, cycling and
gymnastics. In stark contrast, SBS TV will provide
complementary coverage focused on long-form events
such as football, road cycling, volleyball, and table
tennis.
Seven's
coverage of the 2008 Summer Olympics was widely critised
by viewers, with many angry at the networks contractual
obligation to show AFL football over the Olympics.
Viewers also complained that many team sports were
delayed, with the absence of Roy and HG and the continual
amount of advertisements during live events further
angering viewers.
On
October 13, 2007, the International Olympic Committee
announced that the Nine Network, in joint partnership
with subscription television provider Foxtel, has
secured broadcasting rights for the 2010 Winter Olympics
and the 2012 Summer Olympics. (Credkt:
