Seven West Media / Channel 7
Reviews and Complaints

I have been watching programs on 7 Plus and other streaming services. I am dismayed by the number of self-promotion interruptions to programs on your channel when other channels don't. Your repeated ads are totally over the top! To the extent I will not watch your channel again. Unless you mend your ways. It's crazy to keep advertising the same things over and over within one episode of a program. If I were you I would sack the person or people who think it's a good idea.

The commentary on this game was deplorable. It was as though there was only one team (Collingwood) playing. Can you please get some commentators who are able to see both teams in the contest and comment in an even handed way. A commentator who has some association with West Coast might be a good idea. It was just shocking last night and barely listenable. It was all about Collingwood from start to finish. Their opponents didn't exist. You do have an audience in WA and other parts of Australia. Get some commentators with a modicum of professionalism.

How disgraceful that Brian interviewed a Melbourne AFL player tonight, talked about a young fellow he'd brought to the game who had muscular dystrophy (the boy was sitting next to him - his "good luck charm") then spoke briefly to the boy's father, but didn't bother to acknowledge or talk to the boy! Is this child being used as a promotion for the player...what is this ...Channel 7s pet disabled child? In what dark age is the AFL commentary team?

This morning, Channel 7 Sunrise are broadcasting from Sea World at The Gold Coast. Sea World is a place that promotes cruelty to animals! I cannot believe how this station can ethically broadcast from this location. Have they not been made aware of the fact that these magnificent sea creatures are captured, tortured and have to perform in captivity for human entertainment! This is 2018 and I am bitterly disappointed that Sunrise have followed the uneducated idiots at Channel 9 morning show that did the same thing last year.

Educate yourselves Sunrise!

Re. Channel 7 programming. ( Channel 72).
Tonight's rerun ( Sept 3rd)of Doc Martin was left hanging and, with no warning ( or even ads!) the program was left unresolved and switched straight to Foyle's War.
Also, what happened to the Finals of Dance Boss? TV Programs indicated it would take place on both Monday and Tuesday nights. Again, with no warning, the Finals ran into the Grand Final on the same night. Children watching had to go to bed and other viewers had to go through 3 hours of viewing if they wanted to ascertain the winners. Who's in charge of programming? The Work Experience junior?

Tonight while watching Chanel 7 new/sports Brisbane - the reporter advised that Johonathan Thurston was expecting his 4th"kid" - no respect shown for that poor little baby not to mention the parents. I might be seen as a " nark" however I do consider respect as a prime principal when dealing with everyone including those who do not show respect for themselves.
Why is it so difficult to provide feedback on this site!

Now I received a cell phone bill for $282.93 along with text messages every day! This must stop.

Could you please ask the hostess to dress more appropriately
This program is midday, involved children and majority of daytime viewers are families.
I found it very uncomfortable every movement the hostess made.

Remember the public watching the program, young girls with beauty and body issues, you can still look fabulous
Dressing in a more executive look.

The hostess is a beautiful woman she doesn't need to dress like this in a sensitive program

Dear Channel 7,
You do such wonderful things for Perth, especially when it comes to helping children in need every year with Telethon and you need to know we really appreciate it. We the people of Perth are begging you please remove Basil Zempalis from sports reporting. He is an embarrassment to you and doing a whole lot of damage to your ratings. Once I have heard the news that you've done this you'll have my time and ratings back. Until then i and soooo many others i know will not turn your channel on at all!
thankyou for your time.

I am writing to complain about 2 reporters attached to your channel 7 media. They are Geoff Parry and Basil Zempilas. Their line of questioning to Trevor Nisbett and Adam Simpson about the AFL Footballer Andrew Gaff 's punch was nothing but a witch hunt against the West Coast Eagle Football club for an incident that occurred a few weeks ago, when a photographer tried to photograph Nic Natanui hobbling to get into a car but was restrained from doing so. Their insistence that the club had a cultural problem and they were arrogant was just below the belt and the fact that Trevor Nisbett and Adam Simpson were professional enough not to take the bait shows they have a lot more character than your reporters. We have always watched Channel 7 News never changing to another channel but after this vendetta that you staged against the West Coast Eagles i'm afraid we will not be viewing your news again. We were strong supporters of Telethon so you have lost that as well. We switched to Foxtel some time ago so we could watch the AFL Football add free and because of your channel's treatment of Western Australian's giving delayed coverage etc. You have won the cricket rights will you wreck that sport like you have done with the AFL.

Why is it necessary to put a 15 min news flash about a footballer that smacked someone on the field this is appalling. Who cares if he is charged he should be. And for channel 7 to ask such stupid questions about how he feels and if he should be punished or because he feels bad that should be enough. its disgraceful that you think this is BREAKING NEWS.. what about all the lives lost in Bali overnight is that not worthy of a news break.. sick of listening to this dribble. Time for a change of channel.

There was a report done from the speaking event of Lauren Southern in Broadmeadows, Melbourne last night. The reporter claimed that Ms Southern said she is a racist and a fascist. This was written on a banner on the bottom of screen as well. This claim is completely false. It is disgraceful that Channel 7 would allow such a gross misrepresentation. I expect that Channel 7 withdraw this claim and issue an apology to Lauren Southern. The event was attacked by violent protesters from left wing organisations who sought to stop reasonable people from listening to speakers they were interested in. Not one attendee partook in any violence or disruptive behaviour and this should be reported instead of the insinuation that attendees are extremists. I was an attendee and I am not an extremist. The only extremists there were the relatively small group of protesters.

Sick of trying to record movies after afl games and missing the end of movies almost every single time because afl runs longer every time and you can't cut a single ad break so that movies finish closer to advertise time. Its very very annoying and frustrating. I've already got my settings recording an extra 15 mins after end of every movie which takes up a lot of space in my set top box. Is it that hard to remove 10-20 mins of ads from a movie that has over an hour of ads already. Wish this complaint would actually do something but realise I'm just wasting my time. Thanks for nothing 7

Shown on Friday at 6.25 pm.
The West Australian great video ads.
Removal of ad or at least cut the beginning ofvthe ad.
How is this great videos when it is illegal. It should be postponed not be promoted.
The next person to copycat may not be so lucky.
Are you going to promote the next illegal video showing splattered human remains.
You are saying it is okay to do this jump off any train.

Watching the interview with Michelle Payne and during ads breaking news regarding cave rescue in Thailand, on site news reporter is cut off mid sentence after just a few words for some more pathetic and worthless advertising and didn't return to the reporter or the story. Pathetic television, get your act together channel 7, I expect better from a major television network.

Ok so here goes - I am an avid fan of Home & Away and I now find that not only have channel 7 taken the programme off on Fridays, NOW you have also taken it off on Thursdays.
This is not good enough. You have THREE channels - why not leave one to show Home & Away.
No one watches the game on three channels at the same bloody time - how ridiculous.
Think of us for a change

I wish to complain about an advertisement aired during family viewing time for another tv program on channel 7.
During "Home and Away", while young children are still be awake and watching, the advertisement in which the line "We have sex all the time" has been played at least twice this week. It is offensive and needs to air later, as the station acknowledges that children will normally be sent to bed after 7.30pm.

House Rules is a favourite show in our house and I have 2 children aged 9 and 11. This season I have been very disappointed with the language that is left unbleeped on the program. The f... word that is regularly said is bleeped but just in the last 5 mins we heard [censored], wanker, tosser and [censored]. [censored] and [censored] also make regular appearances on the show. If this kind of language, which is not used in my house, or condoned in my workplace, continues to be used, we will be x-watchers of the show. Very disappointing and unnecessary channel 7.

I am usually a fan of House Rules, however I've been very upset at the condoned bullying both in this current season (from Leigh and Kristie), and in the previous season also. I think you guys think this is entertaining? I'm telling you it's NOT. People do not enjoy watching this - it is upsetting and very unpleasant to watch. It's turning me off watching House Rules. Condoning bullying is not ok! Using it for 'entertainment' is not ok. My suggestion for next year's season is to allow someone to referee major disagreements, and penalise those who do not play fair. Isn't that what Australia is supposed to be about? Good sportsmanship? Also, the 'zone wars' adds nothing to this show - it's completely unnecessary. You are turning viewers off with such nasty competitors.

Honestly, I feel you as a channel are incredibly tacky and hypocritical - I can just imagine some sob story on Sunrise (or some such tacky program) about someone being bullied, and how it's not ok, yet you condone it as prime time viewing entertainment.

I am over it so much how you use breaking news in your advertising if your news service. I am over it and switching channels. Breaking news is breaking news. Your news service is not.. sorry but it's sensationalising. On sunrise theUs morning they commented on there is some breaking news. Then they go to your stupid advert for your news where it states breaking news. Sorry but your news is so old I've seen it before sometimes three days before.
