Seven to launch digital offering next week
Channel Seven has announced it will launch its digital offering 7TWO next Sunday November 1.
Tim Worner, Seven’s director of programming and production said the channel will be a natural extension of the network’s primary channel. “We’ve been strategic in putting together a program schedule for 7TWO that allows us to grow our audience between our two channels, without sacrificing one for the other. It is a complementary relationship that will go from strength to strength maximising the opportunities for our audience and clients,” he said.
Programming on digital channel 72 will begin at Noon on November 1 with the first programme to air, Michael Jackson’s 30th Anniversary Concert.

A “mix of”materials not strong enough to rate on 7, but paid for in content deals.
Bring back Gough for the premiere!
…In other words – “we don’t really have a clue what we’re doing and we baulked at the name “Mate” at the last minute when a school friend of the CEO’s son said it was lame so we’ll just throw some crap we have lying around against the wall and see if it sticks…”
Still, I didn’t expect them to do anything different…
