HSV 7 NEWS Melbourne 11032002

The main evening bulliten as aired on HSV 7 Melbourne in March of 2002.

This bulliten was the first to be broadcast from the Docklands studio... and they went 'back to the future'; reintroducing the already tried and failed 'news sport and weather before the first ad break idea'. The bosses at HSV7 went for style over substance - the result was a ratings headache... much of what you see in the clip was changed within 6 months.

The presenters:
Peter Mitchell (News), Jim Wilson (Sport) and weather with David Brown. The days top story's include those dramatic 911 clips and a drug bust at the West Coast Eagles (gee, what else :P)

Clip also features promo's for Today Tonight with then presenter Naomi Robson AND the 2002 style Ident - with the Melbourne presenters inserted.

i just noticed somethin, in 2002 the whole of the Seven network had the Seven ribbon logo ( the red and orange with a shadow) and changed it in mid 2003 to an all red seven ( in sydney anyway) did melb use the new all red logo in 02 coz its behind that cown reading the news on the cylinder post

Short answer: No.

And so you know: The network used the plain red logo on letterheads ect since 2000 - it introduced it NETWORK wide as it's on-air logo in 2003.

ouch. this set lasted until around september 2002, after that nothing was changed until 2004 and then in 2005 a BRAND NEW SET was implemented. this just shows how bad seven were in this particular period of time.

Hang on - this set lasted until 2004; when they just made alterations to it (eg: the blue perspex); before completely ceasing use in and around September 2004. They did remove all the Seven News Melbourne sinage however with six months of having introduced it.

This was the perfect set at the time. I still can't believe that within 6-12 months, Seven dumped the set for the infamous "blue cardboard" backdrop.

[matt01video]

No no - they didnt ditch the SET in that time period- the blue cardboard was introduced in 2004 - good two years later.

[dragons4ever2007]

One of the clues in regards to the traitor (aka The Mole) is seen as the first person who takes off his or her blindfold.

[dragons4ever2007]

this is the very same night The Weakest Link Mole special aired.

then they got rid of the blue cardboard half way trhough 2004 and started to show the newsroom again with a renovation of the set.

[livingXXVII]

Aren't they still using the same studio now!

[dragons4ever2007]

even though i'm fron sydney i remembered the blue set was used for the 4:30 news (when it was produced in melbourne) so HSV-7 didn't completely abandon it....
