Sunday Night

Sunday Night, Channel 7 broadcasted a brand new TV show, imaginatively titled “Sunday Night“. Apparently it promised to be “breaking the stories that matter and delivering moments you’ll never forget“.

The great thing about Channel 7 is that they never fail to live up to their promises. It certainly is one show I’ll never forget. There was this one story about a man capturing dangerous crocodiles. The look of fake horror on the reporters face…the reporter “paralysed” with fear, unable to leave the boat… I will never forget that.

Too scared to look!

Too scared to move!

But you know, what I’ll never forget most of all are the new watermarks.

Two watermarks must be better than one!

Yes, not content with one watermark, Channel 7 felt the need to have a second, and to move both of them in to the 4:3 space to make sure you didn’t miss them. Oh, and yes, it was the same on 7 HD – because there are so many people out there with 4:3 sets watching 7 HD.

Actually, is anyone watching 7 HD? During the Australian Open it wasn’t even worth watching the tennis on 7 HD because Channel 7 without warning switched to other shows at 9:30 each night in the middle of a game.

I can’t believe I have shares in Channel 7. What was I thinking?
