7NEWS to launch satirical segment hosted by Mark Humphries
The Seven Network has officially unveiled a new weekly satirical segment, The 6:57pm News, to be hosted by comedian Mark Humphries.
Starting tonight and running every Friday at the end of Seven’s 6pm bulletins nationally, The 6:57pm News will be broadcast live on Channel 7 and 7plus.
His appointment comes at the same time as the axing of veteran TV news presenter Sharyn Ghidella, after 17 years with the network.
It’s as if SWM has lost all understanding of what journalism is. Front page of the West Australian this week was an indication of that, and this just solidifies it. Being run by clowns.
Seriously risking the journalistic bone fides of 7 news by including this 6:57 rubbish.
Seven really want to go out of business eh?
I guess then its easier then to grift for government bail out money
I can’t wait to find out what the Capricorn star sign has for me in the next week.
What a joke! I won’t be watching Channel 7 News anymore.
What goes around. John Rudd, incredibly successful at 7 Perth, was relocated to 7 Sydney to wave his magic wand. He was never that happy, WA is a different beast, and Ruddy was a wonderful man.
Why is the success of WA determined to be transportable to East Coast?
Free to Air is different now. News should be the glue, morning until night, local, imperative to homes, USA did it 20 years ago, and it is still working. Novelty has no room in building loyalty to the news service. Sad to see this iteration, temporary I suggest
