Seven News Brisbane opener - From Sydney

March 10, 2007 - An unusual event as Brisbane's Seven News is presented from the Sydney studios. This is due to Sharyn Ghidella being stuck in Sydney due to pregnancy complications and therefore being unable to fly up to Brisbane where its bulletin has always been produced. Also at the time, the Brisbane studio had no substitute, but if only Tracey Challenor could stay longer!!

Presenter: Sharyn Ghidella. Also note that in the cross back from sport, Pat Welsh is not looking to his right, instead looking straight at the camera. Weather is presented by Talitha Cummins who at the time was shifted to weekends and Beach Report is presented by winner of the fifth season of The Mole, Liz Cantor.

This opener isn't from Sydney. The set in Sydney is completely different. Title is incorrect

[dragons4ever2007]

@AntonioAzz It is from Sydney, the cameramen had to hide away the large 7 Logo on top and you can see the floor is clearly Sydney. Plus, Sharyn Ghidella was stuck in Sydney that weekend with pregnancy complications, and the Brisbane studio had no substitute (not even Colleen Douglas or anyone else I could think of that was at BTQ at the time).

This wouldn't of been filmed from the Sydney studios just because this was shown in sydney

[dragons4ever2007]

nah, there was a time difference at the time (QLD was one hour behind NSW), and sharyn ghidella was advised not to fly to brisbane due to minor problems with her pregnancy. and BTQ-7 could not find a suitable replacement.

A shock to Brisbane viewers. Remember, this was weeks after Challenor left only for Ghidella to replace her.

I wonder if some viewers were thinking, that a permanent weekend move to ATN, was on the cards...

[dragons4ever2007]

no. there should not be a permanent weekend move. although sharyn has got her weekend sunrise commitments it should not go ahead.

[bobstlena]

no not sydney

[anchorman87]

@kuttsywood 95% of viewers wouldn't have even noticed!

[anchorman87]

@kuttsywood viewers, for the most part, wouldn't have had a clue...

[airobsessed]

oh yeah-i understand... there's a different in the two sets at the top. where brissie has the hallogen lights alligned at the top and sydney has the seven at the top.. also when they crossed from sport back to news it looked like they were crossing back to eachother... doubt thats ever been attempted b4 :D
