The network also produces ''Seven Local News'' bulletins for regional Queensland. The news service is retransmitted via a number of regional affiliates, including Prime Television, the Golden West Network, Southern Cross Television and WIN Television in South Australia. It draws upon the resources of ITN, NBC, MediaWorks New Zealand, CBC, CNN, APTN and Reuters for select international coverage. The network's Director of News and Current Affairs is Craig McPherson. == History == ''Seven News'', previously known as ''Channel 7 News'', ''Seven Eyewitness News'', ''Seven National News'' and ''Seven Nightly News'' from January 1988 to February 2000, is one of Australia's longest-running television news services, along with ''Nine News'' on the rival Nine Network. In 2003, former Nine Network news and current affairs chief Peter Meakin was appointed to ''Seven News''. ''Seven News'' was the top rating news service nationally in both the 2005 and 2006 ratings seasons, partly attributed to the success of television game show ''Deal or No Deal'', which provided the flagship 6pm bulletin with a significant lead-in audience. In 2007, ''Seven News'' beat ''National Nine News'' in ratings for the first time in the Melbourne market. During the year, they ranked highest nineteen weeks in a row compared to Nine's thirteen weeks. Previously, in 2006, Seven had ranked on top 16 weeks in while Nine had 24 weeks on top in Melbourne. During 2008, from weeknight to weeknight, Seven and Nine had similar ratings, often changing the most popular show from night to night. As of 2013, ''Nine News'' retains a national lead, although Seven still has a tight grip on the Adelaide and Perth bulletins. In November 2012, Peter Meakin resigned as director of news and current affairs of the Seven Network after nine years in the role, with Rob Raschke named as his successor. In October 2013, it was announced that the Saturday 6pm bulletins would be extended to one hour, likely as a reaction to ''Nine News'' regaining its national lead as of 2013.〔(Seven, Nine extend Saturday News bulletins ), ''TV Tonight'', 13 October 2013〕 On Monday 20 January 2014, the news theme was overhauled with the traditional ''The Mission'' piece removed after two decades,〔(New theme for Seven News ), ''TV Tonight'', 21 January 2014〕 however, due to viewer backlash, ''The Mission'' was reinstated on Friday 24 January 2014.〔(Seven News backflip as new theme is dumped ), ''TV Tonight'', 25 January 2014〕 In February 2014, it was announced that the Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane bulletins would extend to one hour, resulting in ''Today Tonight'' being axed in those markets. The Adelaide and Perth bulletins will remain at 30 minutes with ''Today Tonight'' being retained in those two markets only.〔(Channel 7 dumps Today Tonight in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane for one-hour bulletin ), ''thetelegraph.com.au'', 3 February 2014〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Seven News」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
