I noticed a change made to this page, which moved the 7 Darwin affiliate to the "Seven network owned" section, with a note saying it was Southern Cross owned. I reverted it back as that is the point of different sections of the list. 7 Darwin is just that, 7 Darwin, an affilate, and not part of the Seven Network anymore than Southern Cross Ten Victoria (to choose an example) is part of Network Ten. 7 Central is also an affilate, owned by Southern Cross, and also badged as 7, so why wouldn't that be moved as well? Because it isn't in a capital city? Then how about moving Southern Cross Tasmania and SC Ten Capital to the first list as well? You see what I mean... the lists (this list and also the Nine Network and Network Ten affilate lists) need to be consistent, otherwise there's no point.
Maybe sorting by station ownership isn't the best way to go, in which case feel free to re-arrange the list - but not just one item in the list at random.
I plan to do a more detailed table on the List of Australian television channels page detailing affiliates and stations in Australia. --Chuq 12:58, 9 Mar 2004 (UTC)~
Should comment be made (possibly in the Sport's section) about the lawsuit on Seven that was started today Lochok 09:06, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
i noticed that at the top of the page it states that 7 is the biggest television network when further down the page it states it is #2. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.217.30.26 (talk) 02:19, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
Seven owns metro stations in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth, as well as Seven Queensland (based in Maroochydore) and possibly some other regional stations in Western Australia. The Nine Network, on the other hand, owns Stations in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, as well as the Darwin station while Nine Adelaide and Perth are owned by separate companies and are effectively affiliates. Seven is the largest commercial network, while Nine has had better ratings figures (although recently Seven appears to be challenging Nine in this area).

Please don't laugh. I followed a link to "Channel Seven", which redirected me here. Perhaps I am not a careful reader, but I couldn't actually find a mention of this anywhere in the article. I gather on IRC that "Channel Seven" is generally used to mean "Seven Network"? Was Channel Seven an early name which is now not used? Would it be worth altering the lead paragraph to something along the lines of "Seven Network, known popularly as Channel Seven,..." or similar?
--Telsa 12:13, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
The Seven Network is Australia's largest television network, owning the most free to air channel in Australia.
Perhaps this should be:

Can you people just choose a spelling and stop acting so childish about it. Also, in respect to the last person who edited the article, if you are going to go around changing the spelling just to prove a point you might want to actually look at what you're changing, as now all the broken wikilinks you created have to be edited.

It seems that whenever NBC was using a new slogan during the 80's, Seven got the slogan as well. The 1989 movie opener was borrowed from NBC's. Should this go into great detail or should it be merely included as a side note? 71.111.232.40 18:16, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

I just changed a bit of wording regarding Seven's running of Australian content: I wouldn't exactly call Good as Gold and Celebrity Survivor "popular", given their ratings and subjective viewer response. Cyril Washbrook 11:44, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
Rather than jump in and be accused of vandalising the page, I would like to see a section on 7's lack of high definition programming on its digital services. Currently High Definition is digital television broadcast at the resolution of either 720p (720 'lines' progressively scanned), or 1080i (1080 lines interlaced), with 1080p as a future broadcasting standard but currently available via the new high definition players such as HD-DVD.
Whilst 9 and 10 use 1080i and ABC occasionally use 720p, Channel 7 currently broadcasts a 576p signal on channel 70, and claims this to be high definition, which it is not. In fact when broadcasting material such as film, it is no improvement on standard definition (576i).
There are numerous Wiki and other links to verify this, but thought I'd get comments before I go ahead. User: MichaelGG — Preceding undated comment added 00:39, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
NOW it's broadcasting in High Definition! --MichaelGG 20:02, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
As you can see at this Colombian blog post, which includes a 1991 recording of the defunct newscast Noticiero de las Siete (it ceased at late 1990s or early 2000s), its logo is the same than the Seven Network's logo since 2003... I don't know it it's plagiarism or not, but I leave this comment to let you know. --Julián Ortega - drop me a message 16:34, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Do we really need all of:
I think they are all technically distinct things, but I'm not sure if it's useful to have four separate articles (plus each station as listed somewhere above). Which one is the ASX-listed entity SEV? Three of them appear in Category:Companies listed on the Australian Stock Exchange at the moment.--Scott Davis Talk 15:08, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
The VPG is basically a stop-gap measure in place of full 7-day program guide information; I think the assertion that it is a seperate channel is misleading. Seeing as it is effectively a datacast (akin to Digital 44) I suggest that the 'free to air channels ' section be removed/altered seeing as the Seven Guide is outside of most viewer's uses. timgraham 07:08, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
I replaced the {{inappropriate tone}} tag because - to me at least - it seems to be written from a very subjective angle full of statements like 'when TV finally came to Australia' etc. timgraham 11:20, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
I'm tempted to put a fansite or POV tag as it comes across at times as advertising or a glowing fan site about how good Channel 7 is to Nine. Michellecrisp 07:44, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
I have now cited several statements and removed the Citation Tag. Stickeylabel 08:07, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
Although I have no hard evidence to back up my concerns, I have worries about the statement:
"In 1977, the Seven Network produced its first live telecast, of which was the VFL Grand Final. This was the first of several live telecasts in the decades to follow."
As someone who was well and truly around in 1977, I can't imagine that this was the first 'live' telecast by ATN 7 and HSV 7 either as independent broadcasters, or as a network, especially as the coaxial cable connection between Sydney and Melbourne had been well and truly established in the 1960s and to other places before 1977.

how upto date should the schedule be? because seven is showing criminal minds for 2 hours from 8:30pm for the next 2 weeks so thats why i changed it, only after that will Shark be airing — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jey16 (talk • contribs) 01:03, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
Seven said something after the Heroes finale about 'Fast tracking' it on a live schedule from the US later this year. Does anyone have any more info and could you add it to the page, please? — mattrobs 11:25, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
This may seem like an odd question, but considering that the Sunshine Coast has both Seven Brisbane and Seven Queensland transmitted digitally, which one is Digital Channel 7 (or 70) and what is the other? ZanderSchubert 07:07, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Network 7 redirects to Seven Network; can we add a link as such
I was watching our local Seven affiliate, who sometimes don't bother to remove the 7 Branding, and they were advertising either Heroes or Gladiators in the credits of a show, and they said "Fast Track to Seven". Is this a one-off thing, or a new motto? And if the latter, would it need intergration into the article? Douglas C (talk) 05:09, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
Citations for the dates of the logo changes?? For instance, the logo change of 1989 actually happened late on January, not on January 1 as someone has deemed here. This seems to be a common theme amongst these TV pages that dates are just wildly guessed with nothing to back them up Andjb (talk) 13:33, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
I have removed the specific dates from both this article and the Nine Network one. If they get added back without citations to reliable sources I will remove them once again. - Mark 08:06, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

well this looks like a well made page so i won't muck with it myself. but is it time to add new shows for '09 like australian shows: Thank god you're here, 10 years younger in 10 days, triple zero heroes, beyond the darklands, gangs of oz, worlds strictest parents, the pacific - not sure if that counts as aussie or american and international shows cupid, gary unmarried, castle, the philanthropist, kings, mommas boys and in the motherhood
some aren't on the "List of programs broadcast by Seven Network" either
also i think australia's best backyards is a thing of the past and the outdoor room was not renued. Jerome w2 (talk) 05:21, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
Why doesn't this page be able to have a programming schedule, but channels such as ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC are able to have one? It doesn't make sense. Maybe we should remove the ones on THOSE articles because WIKIPEDIA IS NOT AN EPG. ---XJ--- (talk) 11:36, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
The dates for David Leckie are quite wrong.

we get it —Preceding unsigned comment added by 170.170.59.138 (talk) 21:26, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
With the addition of 7Two and now 7mate, is there a need to divide the current article into seperate articles, such as:
The main article could have a general overview of the operations of all three networks followed by separate sections for each channel with a Template:Main hatnote in each to the full article.
The same should go for Nine Network/Go!/GEM and Network Ten/One/Eleven. —sroc (talk) 09:35, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
This page surely no longer falls under the criteria of "good article" status. It appears to now be poorly written with bad spelling, grammar and punctuation. In my opinion it fails to provide a neutral document of the topic.
Formatting of text is inconsistent with the use of italics, bold and quoted text.
It also appears to have been hijacked by fanbois of both the Seven Network (who seem intent on blogging every insignficant change, milestone or achievement) and its chief rival the Nine Network (boasting Nine's supposed ratings 'resurgence' and the supposed frailty of Seven's dominance).
e.g.
"The Bounce was pulled from the air after just five episodes. It is said that the show has been put into production hiatus. The show was replaced by reruns of British comedy, The Vicar of Dibley. It was said that the show would return for the final series in September 2010."
"Seven has been strong in the ratings since 2007, but was hit fairly hard in 2010 when the Nine Network introduced a new lineup of programs, including the return of Light Entertainment program Hey Hey It's Saturday, and general entertainment programs like Top Gear Australia which rated extremely well in the 2010 period, the success of Millionaire Hot Seat, the premiere of Underbelly, and regrowth of Nine News and ACA. Nine won 17 weeks in 2010, their greatest success since 2006. At one stage, the Nine Network almost threatened to overtake the Seven Network as No.1 in 2010."
"However since Ian Ross's retirement from Seven News, Nine News has had a high surge in viewers, and Seven News have had a slight drop by around 100,000 - 200,000, The fall of ratings on Seven News can be partly explained by the lead-in game show program, Deal or No Deal, which saw its audience decline from a high of just under one million at its peak to about 500,000 on 1 November 2010." Andjb (talk) 08:27, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
The prose is quite bad in places too (single sentence paragraphs, seas of blue, news-ticker style presentation of facts, etc). Since the reassessment appears to be abandoned I will close it as delist. AIRcorn (talk) 09:07, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

I have noticed that there are no images of historic logos of the Seven Network. According to this post the page did use to have these images, but they were apparently removed a number of years ago. I do not know the reason why the images were removed, but I am of the opinion that some form of imagery depicting the historical logos should exist on the page for the benefit of users who wish to know the historic appearance of the network logo. Please note that I have also added the "Logo requested" template.
114.75.116.141 (talk) 14:05, 22 February 2017 (UTC)
The requested images have now been added, so I have removed the aforementioned template, which was changed to the "Photo requested" template since the previous message was written. Thank you.

As a country that has one of the largest amount of gamblers in the world, I find it irresponsible for tv stations to constantly bombard us with gambling adds. I have never complained before about adds but enough is enough. Not only are we having to watch this garbage, but what an insult to our intelligence. Come on at least restrict the time of day we have to endure them. At least after 8.30 so children aren’t exposed to the brainwashing which is in their content. Surely you must feel some responsibility for showing these in prime time and when the most vulnerable people are watching. Gamblers will still be watching later into the night so you will still reach your target audience. Regards Sharon Fleming. 120.22.35.219 (talk) 09:05, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
