Airdate: 7:30

The revamped 7:30 Report will soon be here with a new name, new presenters and a new focus.

The revamped 7:30 Report will begin on ABC1 on Monday March 7th.

The show has a new name, new presenters and promises a new focus.

7.30 is the ABC’s national flagship current affairs program led by two of Australia’s most respected journalists Leigh Sales and Chris Uhlmann. 7.30 covers the drama of news but also makes sense of it. It tells the stories that matter with interviews that challenge.

It airs at ….7:30pm.

  1. Your intertview with the Minister Chris Bowen on 7.30 report tonight. Once again Leigh Sales you must speak clearly and not rush your words, You are Not important you are the interviewer. Please respect the Office of the Minister. Do not interrupt his/her response. It does you and the ABC no credit. Please Stop and Wait for an answer And allow the person being interviewed some Respect. We, the viewers, are interested in what the Minister says Not your constant interruptions

    I’ll be watching and I don’t know for how long but if they say ” welcome to 7:30 ” or someone announcing ” next on 7:30 ” then I’ll probably be laughing. I don’t get how I’m meant to take the show seriously with that name. And it never had that problem before the name change.

  3. I bet you that despite the rebranding the programme will still be refer to as the 7.30 Report.

    I remember for one summer during the 90s when it was presented by Ellen Fanning that the programme was called 7.30 National.

    Journalists took no notice of the temporary rebranding and just called it the 7.30 Report as usual.

  4. I like the presenters but hate the new name. The promo for the show reminds me of a spoof ad and the new name as well as ridiculously “sincere” voice-over just causes me to laugh. I’ll admit the first time I was horrified and embarrassed for them over the ad. The next it was just too over the top to take seriously (it reminded me of the Chasers or a Fast Forward sketch). Especially the lame name 7:30. I never thought I’d laugh over The 7.30 Report and I’ve been watching over 20 years (on and off). I’ll still watch it but I’m afraid I’ll never respect the name. I just don’t think a show should be named after a time and only a time. And it’s especially silly when they might have to do specials at 8.30pm like during the flood. However I do wish them well. Thanks David for telling us about when it starts.
