The Seven Network’s news and public affairs division has started the move to a new newsroom and studios after 19 years broadcasting from the Martin Place window in Sydney’s CBD.
The high-tech facility, purpose-built across two floors of Seven’s head office at South Eveleigh, will be the home of the station’s entire news operation including 7NEWS, Sunrise, The Morning Show, The Latest, 7NEWS Spotlight and7NEWS.com.au – bringing together the network’s Sydney-based broadcast and operational staff for the first time in four decades.
Part of a major building transformation project of Seven’s headquarters over the past two years, the studio space is five-times larger than Martin Place, allows for permanent sets for all programs, with two complete control rooms and more than 40sq m of LED screens, while all newsroom operations will now be located on a second entire floor.
7NEWS Sydney anchor Mark Ferguson signed off for the final time from Martin Place on Sunday night, and the first historic broadcast from the new studio was last night's edition of 7NEWS LIVE at 6.00pm.
