Talk:Seven Network

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)~

Current Lawsuit

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)

Not sure. It's already mentioned on C7. DynaBlast 05:32, 2 November 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.

I assume the first means largest as in highest potential viewing population, while the #2 is related to television ratings. DynaBlast 04:45, 29 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). JB

But what is Channel Seven?

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?

• Generally the terms "Seven" and "Channel 7" are used interchangebly. ie, "What's on (Channel) Seven?" Part of this is because Seven broadcasts on channel 7 (frequency), as well as the obvious on-air branding (the 7 logo). Seven refer to themselves the Seven Network. ie, "The following program is rated PG. The Seven Network recommends viewing by..." In terms of Wikipedia, "Seven Network" is more formal and appropriate. This is also the logic behind the naming of the Nine Network and Network Ten. DynaBlast 11:14, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Links??

• Do we need a external link to Seven Perth, we dont have them for all state stations or is Seven Perth seperate in some way? Mike 05:01, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Seven Perth is the only state station website. DynaBlast 07:52, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
