‘It’s not TV, it’s Seven’: Director says network is entering new era after tumultuous 2024
After a tumultuous 2024, a Seven Network director says the media giant is entering a new era.
Seven’s year has been filled with many highs and lows – including a wave of allegations and misconduct, and major newsroom changes. But according to Gereurd Roberts, group managing director of Seven Digital, the leadership team has a new theme to work off: “It’s not TV, it’s Seven.”
“We have to earn the right… this is a new Seven in so many ways. Nothing’s given, everything’s earned,” Roberts said during an appearance on the latest episode of Mumbrella’s one-on-one podcast series.
“We’ve had open ears. Not only through Upfronts, but in meetings afterwards, and that’s really promising.”
“Imagine a world without professionally produced Australian news,” he said.
Yes, it would be great if it wasn’t so biased toward conservatives. I could not believe the lead story in last night’s edition – a hotel chain banning Australia Day celebrations. This on a day when arrests were made for Australia’s biggest cocain haul were made!
