Talk:Channel Seven

message: I have moved all channel relation content from the Seven Network article to this article. This is similar to what I have previously done for the ABC TV, and SBS TV articles. The Channel Nine and Channel Ten articles will be modified shortly.Stickeylabel 09:51, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Why? "Channel Seven" is not a name the channel currently uses. It calls itself the "Seven Network" or "Seven" as in "Seven Melbourne". "Seven Network" isn't the name of the controlling company, that the Seven Media Group. matturn 13:11, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think your getting confused with names used on-air as opposed to official names. "Channel Seven" is used extensively on-air and is referred to as such in various official material. This seems to be a recurring discussion, however I will state this again; Channel Seven is a channel operated by a network called the Seven Network, which is owned and controlled by the Seven Media Group, which is half owned by a company called Seven Network Limited. Seven Melbourne is a station operated by the Seven Network which broadcasts Channel Seven. These are distinct differences (see Television network, Television station, Television channel). "Seven" is used on-air and is short for "Channel Seven". I hope this clears it up. Also, here is a previous discussion Talk:ABC TV. Thanks. Stickeylabel 13:47, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Seven Network is the network. Channel Seven is a channel operated by the Seven Network. C7 Sport used to be another channel part-operated by the Seven Network. If multi-channeling was to begin there'd be a possibility that Seven Network could run a whole range of channels - but for now they just have Channel Seven. It's pretty simple to understand. I disagree with any change to the current format. Smacca 14:18, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

message: We're adding episode titles to the guide in Programming now? This is getting ridiculous. From WP:NOT, Wikipedia is not a TV/Radio Guide. --Tntnnbltn 06:39, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, the schedule does not belong on wikipedia. The article already contains a summary of the programs broadcasted on Channel Seven, so I see the schedule as unnecessary. Stickeylabel 09:20, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I was the one who first changed the schedule template. The new format is based on the American networks' article. (See NBC#Current schedule, CBS#Current schedule, Fox#Current schedule, ABC#Current schedule). The template is meant to be encyclopaedic, showing the general programming of the network. It's not meant to list specific episodes; that's what tv guides are for. --Tntnnbltn 07:08, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok, so I went overboard with the schedule and I am sorry. I normally tend to be protective of my edits especially if I put alot of effort into them. How about a compromise. How about we drop the episode names, special notes and specific time periods and call it a deal.

When programs are taken off / added or reshuffled, then the table will be updated. What do you guys think? --Lakeyboy 08:50, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Also, exact programming information, does not positively add to the article. As previously stated, a comprehensive television guide is available at the official website. The sole purpose of television schedules on wikipedia, are to give the reader an insight into the types of programming and scheduling the channel uses. The schedule should not be updated weekly, nor should it contain specific one-off movie or event type programming, as it is irrelavent. The scedule also acts as a useful tool for the reader, as they see what specific programming genre the channel mostly uses. The order of days should also begin with Sunday, as Sunday is the start of the ratings week. Stickeylabel 09:06, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  TV Guide 

message: Not all the primetime shows are included in the guide, e.g: Australia's Got Talent at 6:30 on Sunday
any suggestions? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.101.127.102 (talk • contribs) 
:Please then add a sentence stating the Beautiful Sunday lineup, in the programming section. The schedule should not include the 6:30pm or 7:00pm timeslot, and a list is unneccassary. Thanks. Stickeylabel 10:26, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Outline Primetime shows, "Beautiful Sunday" etc???

message: there is a quite obvious lack of history/information on the channel, as is the case with Nine & Ten. ok so we all know Nine dominated the other two for the last 30 years, but lets get some history about the channel added. things like hit or miss shows, when they gave other stations a run-for-their money and general ratings history. the Network Seven page is more for corporate history, i.e takeover's, new CEO's etc.
:I totally agree, I personally do not have much knowledge in regards to television channel history for 7, 9 and 10, however it would be appreciated if you or someone else would be able to add some history. Thanks. Stickeylabel 09:12, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: i've (the user from above) added some history: hopefulyl other can write some up for Nine & Ten, though i have started working on Ten. amybe others can expand certain areas. try http://www.austvhistory.com/maps/seven.htm (Rusty surfer 05:20, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

text: Would it be possible that it could be made more encyclopedic? At the moment it has a great deal of useful content, but reads more like a commentary than a neutral article. I donn't have time to spend on it right now however I may sometime soon. timgraham 13:07, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
