Reviews and Complaints

I am writing to complain about the programming of Home & Away. For at least the last month episodes have been completely skipped and we've had to watch via Catch Up. But now Catch Up is missing episodes, so we are unable to see what we have missed. I'm not sure how we are supposed to remain engaged in a program when we keep missing major plot lines.

Brian "washed up" Taylor.

If this station cares about the 2-3 games they televise weekly, then reviewing the pathetic, predictable, biased, and highly unpopular commentary of football is your priority.

Lets review.

Bruce- Loves a hawks game. Loves any melbourne team playing against interstate teams. Isnt this Australian rules? Why so much hate to the thousands of fans supporting a clearly successful interstate team. Dennis hung the mic up, your up next pal.

Lingy- Whatever Bruce says, he'll sugar coat. Nothing original and again, seeks approval for his opinion from cyril, i mean Bruce.

Carey- Needs to go to Fox footy beacaue guess what, HE COULD PLAY THE GAME! And is wasted on this station.

Brian 'tantrum' Taylor - Someone remind me how this egotistical, self procalimed star of the game got a gig? Surely he's better off selling hotdogs outside the ground. Listen up chump, your comments dont go unnoticed when you slag a club all game then expect to interview them post match about what they had for dinner.

If you insist on getting down on one knee each night holding onto something when you roam around like a creep, take it elsewhere...

If this Station hasn't got the guts to review this below average line up, then why have a complaints page.

One way or another, BT wouldnt make a dennis Commetie's bootlace.

I don't usually complain often, however I am getting extremely frustrated with the programmers at 7 for showing the same old movies over and over and over on channel 76. Don't get me wrong, I think the idea of this channel, to show older movies, is excellent. I believe there is a big audience out there who enjoy a change from the frenetic, graphic, hear-stopping pace of most modern shows.
But really, given the possibly thousands of old films at your disposal, why oh why do we see the same half dozen or so rotated continually? It's mind-boggling - either viewer contempt, or laziness - I'm not sure.
Please, a thousand times please, make your programming staff earn their money and show some variety. I'm certain there must be many viewers equally frustrated who never voice it, but it certainly creates a very negative opinion of your network in my mind.
Hope to see some changes soon!

Regards, Rod Braybrook

Tonight 9/7/16 on the sport segment of the news Josh was reporting on Brad Fittler being the coach of Lebanon.
He than stood between the Australian & Lebanese National flags, which is fine. However you NEVER let your national flag, the Australian flag TOUCH the ground as it is disrespectful. Yet alone have the flag draped across a dirty steel plate iron cover on some foot path.
I was horrified to both flags laying on the ground.
My great uncle was a Lieutenant in the AIF and died on the first day of the Gallipoli campaign as well have having other families serving in wars over the years.

I hope that the flags were burnt out of site of the public and not just placed in a bin after they were finished with.
Also are you aware there are protocols in flying & using the Australian national flag?

It is disgusting to watch your news and see more current affair segments than actual news.
I am currently watching your news service at the moment and the segment that is being broadcast at the moment is about Woolworth's choc chip cookies and a comparison to Aldi's cookies..
What a disgrace your news service has become since you went from 30 minutes to an hour..

I have always enjoyed MKR until this year. The show's producers should be absolutely ashamed to go to air with the like of Josh & Amy. Josh is showing the world that its ok to use foul language and model appalling behavior. This not a program my teenage kids can watch as it confirms the lowest common denominator as far as conduct and good manners are concerned, not to mention blatant arrogance and sledging of other contestants.
The best way out is not to watch it at all. I am very disappointed as I enjoy watching the cooking but it now causes me to switch it off. Its time that the MKR producers have a long hard look at themselves, this is not what the viewing audience wants. I am upset on a number of levels, but also as a West Australian this is not the best that we can offer. Do something Channel 7 before your show crashes.

sexist, misogynist, and just too

The show the chase is a great show except for the host. He is rude and cant speak properly on tv. His clothes designer needs to be sacked and the man himself needs the sack. He is rude to contestanrs and speaks his own opinions which are not welcome or needed. He needs to shut up. He ruins the whole show. Even the chasers dont like him. He needs to stop using his hands and stop speaking with his voice going up and down and trying to do accents which never works. Get rid of him. He is horrible for the show. Please do not disregard my letter. Im not the only one who doesnt like him on the show. Something needs to be done.

Your failure to cover the West Coast Eagles V Richmond game is one of the worst decisions your station has made in its entire history.
Free to air coverage was slowly dieing but you have closed and nailed the coffin with this ridiculous move.
What ever profits you made from this deal you have done with Foxtel will not be sufficient to cover the irrefutable damage your have done to your brand.

Shameful!

I find it disgraceful that the West Coast Eagles AFL game in Melbourne is not being televised live this weekend on free to air TV, 8th April. There are multiple Channel 7 channels, I dont understand why both the WAFL (Peel vs Subiaco) and the West Coast vs Richmond games aren't played live at the same time. Surely live coverage provides higher ratings.

I would like to ask as to why on the 08/04/2017 your network will not be televising the West Coast Eagles fixture against Richmond on any of your four channel services transmitted in Perth? I believe it is a disgrace seeing as in the first two rounds both the Dockers and Eagles games have been shown regardless of venue or day of play. Why the sudden discrimination to one team based here in the West. Why don't we just let only Fox Footy to show all the games(sarcastic)? I'm totally disgusted!

My husband and I would like to talk with you regarding some concerns about a moving company that we recently hired to move our personal furniture and belongings.  We believe that we have been cheated or scammed by Bluebell Relocation Service, LLC.located at 680 Schuyler Ave, Building 28, Kearny, NJ 07032.  Their phone number is [protected].  US Dot No: 2637359, ICC/MC No 920051.
 
Prior to the move, Bluebell conducted an 'over the phone' estimate and later provided a in home estimate and now, they are not willing to honor the estimated price that included full packing and move from New Jersey to Virginia.  Bluebell is threating to charge additional fees for packing, supplies and moving cost that we did not agree too prior to signing the contract.  "The company is requiring us to pay the increased price before they will agree to unload our belongings."
 
This is unfair and deceptive to overcharge us.  They broke a glass vase and left on the kitchen floor, ate pizza and left empty pizza boxes on the kitchen counter cabinet, urinated and did not flush the toilets in most of the bathrooms and they were irate and very nasty towards us.
 
Bluebell is refusing to unload our furniture until we paid them and we do not have any additional money to pay them due to our financial hardship.  I have been unemployed for less than a year. I have recently lost my mother two weeks ago that endured additional cost and my husband isn’t receiving income because he has transferred to another employer.  They even asked “where’s my tip?' and we said I don't have anything else on us, and he asked again, 'Where is my tip?' We felt intimidated and really scared, "
 
We believe they we are the victims of fraud and we really need your help to obtain our furniture.
Among other things:
- Falsely representing the costs of services
- Demanding payment when the furniture was still left in the home and refusing to unload our property from trucks unless we paid more money.

Please help us this is urgent!

What a joke this situation has turned into - the money being spent on legals is criminal & shareholders are not happy.
The manner in which the board has conducted itself has many in the public wondering if Mr Worner has something on the likes of Mr Stokes or Mr Kennett as the support for Mr Worner placing the company in this position in the 1st place is untenable & beyond belief.
Mr Worner's conduct as the so called leader of the organisation has the public, shareholders & seven West employees having no faith or credibility in his decision making process.
If he can't keep in it his pants at work then he shouldn't be there.
It's time to cut the umbilical chord & remove Mr Worner from the organisation & allow the two parties (Mr Worner & Ms Harrison) to fight it out amongst themselves & do the business & shareholders a favour.
It's time to move on & get both parties as far away from the business as possible.

10am, Tuesday, 14/02/2017:
You have given me a rotten start to the day. This happens on a regular basis. Channel 7 Executives in expensive BMW's and other cars drive onto the pedestrian crossing near the Biotechnology Building, Australian Technology Park when I am in the middle of the pedestrian crossing. The latest #### has car registration number CA 33 NT and I have informed Redfern Police. I tell everyone that Channel 7 is the worst TV station because their executives are always trying to run over me when I am standing on a pedestrian crossing. Tell your executives and other staff to follow the road rules and stop behaving so stupidly so they can stop giving you such bad publicity. The ### in expensive cars are always driving towards Channel 7 and the ### always see me but try to hit me with their car anyway. I am totally fed up with their stupid and dangerous and illegal behaviour. I do not want to receive any information about your stupid TV programs. I just want to safely cross the road when on the pedestrian crossing.

After 2 weeks of detailed coverage of the Tennis on channel 7, I find it utterly despicable and disappointing that channel 7 cut straight to the news in Western Australia, straight after the players' speech of the Federer vs Nedal final. Quite possibly the biggest game in the sports history and we weren't even able to watch the trophy being paraded around the stadium and watch the post match celebrations or interviews and watch the closing moments of a great tournament.

The tournament gets such adulation as one of the best sporting events, yet the channel hosting it are more concerned about showing the news reporting on what we have just watched, rather than let us enjoy the final proceedings of the whole tournament.

Channel 7 could have shown the news, or switched the Tennis to one of 3 other channels shown on free view that they air. Yet instead, they denied viewers who had watched this tournament so closely, to soak in the post match atmosphere of one the greatest games and rivalries the sporting world has ever seen.

This could be the last time we see these two players in a grand slam final, or get to hear the post match interview sharing their joy of winning one, and it is shocking Western Australian viewers have to put up with this. If channel 7 are more concerned to prioritizing showing news and grand designs on their broadcast channels, then maybe they should allow another broadcaster to have the rights to show this sporting event without compromising viewers experience of watching the event.

Channel 7 you should be ashamed of yourself, other broadcasters of sporting events around the world would never let this happen. I am still yet to see/ hear Federers' winning press interview...

Saturation advertising of player odds, how to make a bet and betting options incl after-tennis open options in horse racing. All this was shown in children's viewing time before 7.30pm with no thought of the consequences to young minds. Minature prints issue warnings but this is too inadequate. I hope that broadcasting controls bans gambling ads, same as tobacco and imposes same restrictions as alcohol advertising. I think your station has been irresponsible and hope further advertising restrictions are placed on your station and the world wide betting syndicates. I would look forward to meaning penalties to accompany advertising restrictions. It is a definite black spot on your rights to televise tennis. Tennis Aust, Channel 7 and betting syndicates should bear responsibility for the corruption of tennis players and the promotion of gambling to vulnerable people. Shame on you all.

Hi channel 7, after viewing the channel 7 broadcasts of the australian open over the last two weeks, I have never seen a more repetitive broadcast of commercials as I have ever as seen over the last two weeks on the seven network during the coarse of the australian open.

In particular the commercials were so repetitive that we had to change the channel for each time you had shown commercials. Sometimes the same commercial twice during the same break. This is highly annoying especially when you would expect a better choice of commercials range especially for the seven network in australia. (Channel 7 commercials are annoying full stop!) highly highly irritating. How many people are turning this over everytime this is happening.

Why do you think anyone would watch these commercials when they are so often repeated?

Commercials in question were blackmores (1) most irritating commercial ever (Over and over and over again) tal, this australian life (Over and over again) ! My kitchen rules - rubbish seriously! (Repetitive to the point of despair) how many hoges commercials can you replay over and over again! (Who cares about hoges!)

These commercials were highly annoying and are not getting any message/s across. Annoying commercials like this will deter watchers in the future.

No one cares about blackmores, tal, or my kitchen rules!, and anz bank commericals. No one watches these commercials due to the repeats, so why bother playing them? Money? Corporate greed? Bad marketing strategies?

Whoever is reading this please do something about this in future to avoid a mass exodus of customers to your shows in future. I'm certainly not watching any more of this garbage as i'm sure alot of other people are not either. I have taken the time to write as the amount of time given to these short list of sponsors is absolutely ridiculous.

Gordon.

Hello,
The AO coverage has been terrific and Channel 7 needs to be congratulated. Jim Courier shows his wealth of knowledge and his interviews with players was very good.in contrast Rennae Stubbs should be sacked. For her to say to Serina Williams, 23 times Grand Slam Winner, "NO POTTY MOUTH" at the start of her interview was the most disgusting thing I have ever heard on TV. This stupid comment was not only heard across Australia but across the world. Serina Williams handled the comment well but you could see in her expression that she was hurt by this. I sincerely hopw Channel 7 conduct a thorough review of the telecast and make the decision NOT to recontract Rennae Stubbs next year.

On tonight's news there was a segment reporting on a jewellery store being robbed. The thieves were charged today. At the end of the segment the reporter said that the charged were of 'African descent'. My understanding is that this would only be said if the criminals had not been charged and were being sought.
A racist, provocative statement. So disappointed !
