brownlow medal &blue carpet& broadcast
Channel 7's broadcast of the "blue carpet" was woeful. They showed about 5 dresses then spent the rest of thetime showing us footballers who can't act, Rebecca Maddern's ugly pink flower dress and Rebecca Twigley's boobs.
It was terrribe there was very little shown of the night, it was all pre recorded interviews about nothing.
If you only have half an hour make it worthwhile to watch, that was not worth it.
and don't even get me started on Fifi Box...

2009 afl finals delayed coverage and camera men complaint
To Channel 7,
I am one of many avid AFL supports who live in Sydney. I would like to put forward a couple of complaints about your coverage of the 2009 AFL finals.
Channel 7’s decision to show these Finals games with a 1 hour delay in Sydney.
The shocking camera work during the game.
Many of my Sydney friends and family follow non Sydney teams who have made it in to the finals this year - Crows, Collingwood, Brisbane etc. We are extremely disappointed that the games have been delayed an hour. Last week, the Crows played in a very close game with Collingwood and the fact that we are unable to watch it live ruined the game for these supporters. Because of the delayed the telecast, other networks were displaying the results on their news bulletins.
During the closeness of the game, my Mother switched it over for a split second and in that second that network had flashed the end score on the screen. People from interstate (who may I add were watching it LIVE) were texting results, people on facebook were posting messages – how are we in Sydney able to watch the game we love without it being ruined by the fact that the rest of Australia actually are able to watch it live!
You’d expect that if Channel 7 were the only network to cover the AFL finals, you would at least play it live... I believe Channel 10 in previous years played all finals LIVE! Even in Sydney!
You would have a lot of angry viewers if you decided not to play the Grand Final live... These are important games, and most have been very very close. It would be nice to be able to watch them LIVE!
The second complaint is I think the Channel 7 camera men – or the producer or whoever is responsible for what the viewers see on the tv screen need to go to a course on camera work at the AFL. Too many close ups, half the time we couldn’t see where the ball was because they were still filming the last guy that had the football... It was all over the place and really annoying to see.
As you can see, my overall experience with watching the AFL finals on Channel 7 is not a good one. I hope that if you are continuing to be the only network to cover them in the future you would decide not to delay them, as there are many AFL fans in Sydney (Surprise surprise but not all Sydney siders are NRL fans...!)
Regards,
Unhappy AFL fan.
sunday night program
After watching last weeks Sunday Night programme at 6:30, Channel 7 (Sunday 4th May) regarding the vaccination debate i was disgusted with reporter Mike Munroe's behaviour.
I believe he was arrogant and opionated in his portrayal of this issue as he would interrupt and try to discredit the anti- vaccination supporters.
Vaccination is a contorversial debate and there needs to be more education for parents. It is the personal choice of parents to vaccinate and I felt that Mr Monroe was attacking parents who chose not to vaccinate
He presented a very bias debate because he expressed his personal opinion at times. He definetely failed at his job as a reporter is to present both sides of a debate in a impartial way.
A man of his experience should know better!

I wold like to complain about an ad on the program Better Homes and Gardens tonight. It is an ad by a naked girl talking about keeping your vagina fresh and is about sanitary pads and it is just so horrific and the wording is totally insulting during any program. There is no need for this type of crude advertising
pathetic coverage of afl games
Channel 7 should never be allowed to cover the afl season. Today, 3 may 2009, seven is telecasting the round 6 game between sydney and richmond - - from 3pm to 5pm. The game is at time of writing is mid-way through the 3rd quarter. Why isn't the station able to offer live coverage?!? Channel ten do a way better job, and cover the entire event which usually goes on for three hours.
Shame on you, channel seven. If you can only manage a half-baked job, give it up. Even channel nine do a better job than you. Stick to your dancing with the friggin' stars, and let the real stations take care of programming that matters.
The presentation of TEST Cricket coverage, is lamentable, pathetic and lacking in intelligence. Persistently, Commentators have no respect for the VIEWER, READER and LISTENER. They enforce assumptions, that the TRIO are lacking in appreciation of TEST CRICKET. Ricky Ponting, a retired Captain, IS A DEMONSTRABLE EXAMPLE OF A LACK OF INTELLIGENCE AND FORESIGHT. Persistent commentary is is a lack of respect for the TRIO. BLUNTLY, the coterie ought to just SHUT UP. KICK START AND KICK OFF ARE LAUGHABLE in their persistent usage. A P;ayer at the Crease is a BATSMAN, not a Batter. The latter belongs to our American friends. The presentation of a background to Steve Smith, ought to encourage any TRIO to wonder at the maturity of its Presentor.
Pathetic is not the word for 7 using Basil S for Olympic games coverage
It is apparently not just in WA. My cousin and family in Vic express similar thoughts
The diatribe from Basil sends me retching for the toilet.
It is sad cannot watch the games when Basil S is there
Channel pathetic, me again you horrible horrible pathetic piece of * I notice you don't answer any of the comments on your face book site, not surprised at all you gutless thieves. hundreds of comments of how bad your coverage of the comm games, the last olympics and the afl all go straight over your heads, you just don't care do you what people think about your [censor] you televise and try to pass of as coverage of a very important part of the public's right. yes mr pathetic our right, how dare you, you lame brained [censor] thieve our nations right to view international sport at the highest level so you can line your pockets with the filth that your monopoly enjoys so much. looking through your self promotion garbage on your sites about viewing numbers, profits made, new programs ect, ect, ect you believe your own crap, your numbers are falling real quick and you buffoons are the only ones that are not aware how you are pushing people over the edge. I suggest you over paid parasites at the top of the money making scam you run, take a backward step and reassess your basic duty to the public and start acting like part of the human race, get your snouts out of the trough. read the face book comments and respond to them o high and mighty. now lets talk about your so called coverage/theft (same thing) of the afl?
Hey channel pathetic, the new channel ten may just show you biased pathetic peanuts how to cover the AFL properly then i wont have to turn the channel knob to pathetic seven to find out there is no footy on again and again and again. Stick to your cooking shows and dancing crap.The rest of us can go back to watching what we love, Footy.
channel pathetic again 2 x games for the whole weekend. dorkers and e girls of course. [censor], pathetic, hypocritical, clueless and pathetic. Next time i ring your pathetic station dont lie by saying its the AFLs fault, i rang them and it is definitely your fault you pathetic [censor]. Cant wait till you get the [censor] and we get some reasonable coverage.We the public are not asking for the world just some Sat/Sun footy to watch.
I am absolutely sick of not being able to see all the AFL games...on a Saturday afternoon you are airing trash that could be pulled in order to show another game. If you are going to have the contract to show AFL, then please show all the games..not just a few of them.
Why channel pathetic are there no more recent complaints here?
Real up to date here 7, Hiding the complaints again i see.
Channel football, what a joke you are 7. One game on Sunday, Carl/GWS and you cant broadcast it. Typical? does not have Dockers or Eagles in it so the rest of us AFL supporters can go to hell. You are a clueless bunch at seven, i wonder how your ratings are going on a non footy Saturday afternoon or footyless Sunday, then you got the guts to have full coverage on 7 and 7HD on the following Monday at lunch time for Coll/Melb on a eastern states public holiday here in W.A. Seriously Get out of the kitchen you [censor] you cant cut it. Bring back 9 and 10.
I live in a retirement village on the Sunshine Coast. The reception of your programmes is spoilt by serious pixellation. Mainly at night but sometimes during the day.
Please help
afl not live or not shown
I can't believe it channel 7 you continue to amaze me with your lack of coverage of the AFL season. Whether it be games not live or not shown until midnight or later, you continue to push the boundaries of a station who has no interest of competing in the Queensland market of broadcasting with the AFL season. It leaves me with a sour taste in my mouth...

Ok, I don't want to write much, but I will write something. I am a fan of the show 'Ugly Betty'. I was getting really into it until the Australian Open happened. I love the Australian Open, however, I thought that the show will come back again. It hasn't! What I would like to know is why did channel 7 remove this show! BRING BACK UGLY BETTY!
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Very disappointed with how far behind Channel 7 is with the seasons of Once Upon a Time. In the USA they are on Season 6. It is a high rating show and I don't understand why its not on when Swamp people and trucking shows take precedence. If you don't want to show it, give the rights to another channel who will show it. Because you have the rights we can't even buy it on video.
Weekend sunrise
Andrew O'Keeffe is not the right person to host this show. His abuse and talking over the top of guests he doesn't agree with is offensive. He should never be in a position of hooting a s show with news commentary.
This ignorant behaviour is now weekly, unfortunately., Channel 7 you heavenliest me and other viewers l know to Channel 9l
Your closed caption is really terrible and I feel your station really do not care, it has gone on for so long.
Impossible to view TV channel 7 and 7Two from mareeba
tonight i sat back to watch Independence Day and was verry upset to find that you cut parts out of the movie if you are going to show a movie than at least show the full movie
was watching the movie and was verry upset to find that you cut poarts out of it if you are going to show a movie then at least show the whole movie the movie was Independence Day
change in 24 airtime
I've just gotten home from work, hoping to enjoy a night in watching 24. However, after looking at the Channel 7 website (TV guide section), I find out that 24 is not on Wednesday nights anymore, but has now moved to Sunday @ 10:30pm (an hour later than the Season Premiere last Wednesday).
I think I've lost count as to how many time Channel 7 has changed the time slot of 24 so many times (since Season 1) without "alerting" its audience. This is absolutely bull crap and Channel 7 should fire the person in charge of this.
My faith in Chanel 7 has dropped dramatically. In saying this, I hope Channel 9 regains its no.1 position in ratings.
A very unhappy 24 fan.

Boo hoo to chanel 7 for showing the ''mornington secondary college police youth corp band'' for 5 seconds and not even mentioning them!...they all were up at 4.30am today to get to the parade...alot of family and friends were watching hoping to see them...how embarrassing to see them for only 5 seconds without a mention of who they were...shame shame on chanel 7...
What happened to 24 on Sunday 19th July?
They then advertise 24 on Sunday at 10.30 only to start it at 11.15pm. Too bad for those that set timers. I set it to go 20 minutes over as they are hopeless with there times. Obviously need to start setting it over a hour later.
sundays 24
i was just wondering how hard it is for a channel to let its views know when there cancelling a show. i brought the tv week as normal to know when what is on.so i find out 24 is on sunday 8th at 930pm.its a two hour esp.i have foxtel, which has the 24 esp on at 1030pm of 1hr.so i tune in at 930pm, no its not on.i tune back in at 1030pm, no its not on.the 7...

Funeral adds...Family members watching a movie trying to forget for a while they have a relative dying from some disease have these adds rammed down their throats 5 or 6 times in half an hour, have sum consideration for the suffering!
Offgrid with No TV reception, how can i enjoy Australia's national sport, the cricket?
All my friends and i dont watch Ch7 anymore because of their poor support for us cricket'ers. Stick with Ch9, they help those with no TV reception and those who are financially poor. Ch9 is the home of cricket, not Ch7
Won’t be watching again , didn’t realise I had jumped onto another love island. What the [censored] seriously😡 you have [censored]ed it up
We do not receive channel 7 transmission in our area very often. All other channels are fine, channel 9 is pixelated occasionally. If that is the best FREE to air can do no wonder why pay TV is popular!. Increase your signal strength so we can enjoy our TV experience. Regards Dale Widdicombe.
I am Furious that you with all your Channels Choose to only show a handful of games.. I love Soccer and I want to see every game.. Why take this away from SBS Who would have shown every game.. you are an AFL Channel.. Please respect our game and do better in the Future.. Women’s World Cup Football July 2023
When Jeremy Cameron was injured through an accident or not, with his teammate, all commentators missed it, yet I saw it plainly on the TV at the time, and also once he was down, they did not even pan back to him, so the cameraman and the producers, and the commentators all hopeless
A total accident , friendly fire
Just want to give feedback of the Freemantal & Richmond game, lm finding comentry boring and monotone not sure what's going on but the most exciting thing lve heard is the rain!
Channel seven's new smash show BLOW UP must have crawled from the rubbish bin of lost ideas. To try to showcase balloons as a new funky fresh concept is laughable. Balloons are an environmental disaster. Not an innocuous harmless bit of fun. Scrap this show and bring yourselves into the 21st Century.
Movies on 7+ start but then come up error this is my 2nd complaint with nobody contacting me ,i deleted and reloaded and still wont play
All other DTV and ANALOGUE channel tuned to the TV are working fine . The BIG BASH cricket finals are happening and not HAPPY. Your assistance with this problem would be muchly appreciated . Thankyou

I am extemely disappointed for the 2nd year in a row of the terrible coverage of the red/blue carpet event at the Brownlow. Channel 7 seem to be in constant competition with 9/10/ABC yet the opportunity you had to be a real ratings winner was lost. All I heard today from people I worked with was what a waste of 1/2 an hour. I don't know if you automatically get the rights for next year but I hope your rivals get an opportunity next year to show how it should be done.
Can we please move on from Rebecca Twigley and perhaps notice other stunners on the carpet - for starters The Partner of Dean Cox from the WCE would have to have been the most beautiful and most elegantly dressed on the night. The fact we weren't able to vote for her was very disappointing. SHE LOOKED UNBELIEVABLE.
