The 7pm Project: it’s official

UPDATED: Ruby Rose and James Mathison join Dave Hughes, Charlie Pickering and Carrie Bickmore for TEN's new show to launch July 20th.

7pmIt will be known as The 7pm Project.

It will start on July 20th and it will look at the day’s news live everynight.

Led by comedian co-hosts Dave Hughes and Charlie Pickering, The 7PM Project will be “the simplest new idea in television for a long time.” The news of the day will be brought to audiences by Carrie Bickmore. The show will have a team of correspondents delivering stories from around Australia and around the world into the studio every night. Ruby Rose will be bringing viewers all the latest music news. The media and sport beat will be covered by James Mathison.

TEN says “The 7PM Project is a place where people who are genuinely interested in the world around them come together to talk, offering genuine conversation in a space previously crowded by scandal and spin. While it’s not afraid to be serious, The 7PM Project can guarantee that there will be no miracle diets, no stories that ‘no parent can afford to miss’, and virtually no dodgy plumbers. The 7PM Project is the news un-spun. It is not a satirical newscast in the style of Jon Stewart’s Daily Show, but a TV show joining in the conversations going on in living rooms around the country.”

Rose and Mathison join the three names tipped by TV Tonight earlier this week for the show produced by Roving Enterprises. More names will be announced over the coming weeks.

Mathison recently stepped asided from Australian Idol although he was quoted at the time as saying, “I am not going to be on TV for a while now, not Dancing With The Stars or anything like that. I just want to explore other music opportunities while I am here in New York and at home.”

TEN Programmer David Mott said, “We’ve had great success in introducing brave projects to the Aussie TV landscape such as MasterChef Australia and Talkin‘ ‘Bout Your Generation and if we get this right, The 7PM Project could be a game changer for TEN in that very crucial 7pm timeslot. Not to mention our digital platform which plays a key role in the experience, driving content and discussions to the show, making it a truly integrated TV /on-line offering and a place for audiences to share their stories, opinions and interact.”

TEN has surely found 7pm success with MasterChef Australia and The Biggest Loser but it struggled with Taken Out and too often has had to rely on The Simpsons as filler.

  1. I listen to pollies about Super and how the mining tax will help the workers & families will benifit with the increase in super 9% to 12% in 2012 but I thought the Employers pay our super and how is the mining tax going to help our super. I would like someone to ask the polies that question.

  2. Hi guys love ya show. We just wanted to voice our concern for the babies having bad reactions from the flu shots… maybe all newborn babies should have a routine blood test for mercury levels as this can give anyone bad reactions let alone babies, for examle if the mother had consumed mercury through fish or other food with mercury in it or had injections through her pregnanc,y the baby could have a high enough level of mercury that when the baby has it’s immunisation weather it be flu shot or triple antigen, all vaccines have an element of mercury and if the babies level is built up too much and they have an injection, just that bit extra can cause reactions( as mercury is a led that builds up in your body and is released very slowly) and the injection takes the mercury level past a safe point. We just thought we should voice our idea in this case. If the medical profession don’t know why the babies are reacting this way maybe they should look at this idea, this could explain why only some babies react this way because only some have the high mercury levels. Please read this on your show ,just so as the general public are aware there is mercury in all injections as a component to deliver the vaccine.

  3. This smoking garbage is all garbage, go to any hospital with a problem, the doctor says to give up smoking it is bad for you, yet when next you see that doctor he/she is outside having a smoke, when a person gives up smoking the body goes into clean up mode and repairs itself, but when a drinker goes to see the doctor nothing is said about the clear health problems, when a drinker gives up drinking, the bosy does not go into repair mode, it is stuffed, but we never see the same bagging out of drinkers even though medically it is a killer.

  4. we feel that the soft porn mags in shops should be out of childrens’ sight, it is not healthy for kids to see nudity in our local shops, we also feel it adds to the peer pressure of female body image, We also agree that junk food and cigarettes are jsut as harmful but in a health way and porn is in a moral and female and self image way. We love your show guys keep it going and all the best, cheryl and mark

  5. just on should they ban police chases . a stolen car is not worth a life but whats going to stop them from speeding and causing an accindent .if they know the police wont chase them they are going to do what ever they want and there will be more accidents and more loss of life…. they should not stop they chase they should change there tactics

  6. Just watching the program on suicide and would love it put out there you don’t need something to go wrong in your life to be feeling suicidal. I personally nearly get there and can’t put my finger on what I am depressed about. Put all the praotices into play to ‘get over it’ and have learnt from experience that for me I ‘need’ to speak to someone professional to help sort out my thoughts. Friends as you pointed out don’t know what to do or say. Let me tell you all now a show of friendship be it an invite to a movie a hug a phone call about anything just to 1. distract me and 2. make me feel wanted, worthwhile and or simply liked if not loved.

  7. You guys are harder to get in contact with than the Pope! A suggestion for a name for a town noth of Perth. If the USA can have Cougar Town, why can’t Australia have Akubra Town?

  8. I dont watch much Commercial TV but have enjoyed the 7-00pm Project when George Negus is on. I totally support his views expressed tonight, 25/1/2010, on the Monarchy,Australia day and the Flag.Its a” no brainer” that the flag should be the Southern Cross with the Aboriginal Flag replacing the Union Jack.

  9. yeah just commenting on the remarks about being bludgers on the 19/1/10
    just spend a day with me and my boys scaffolding in north qld in this heat! and then get on national tv and say we are bludgers. have a bit of respect. australia is builtather on hard work weather you can see it or not……!

  10. Watching your program this evening, the Queen on the train. Could you imagine on her arriving at the train station and asking ‘when would the next train be arriving’ the tram conductor says ‘at 7.30 Mam’ so the Queen waits patiently for 10 minutes and looking up at the clock , it says 7.25 thinking ok the train arrives in 5 minutes good, then looking up at the clock at 7.30, having a look to where the train drives through the tunnel, saying to Max perhaps being very concerned for lack of punctuality ‘ oh dear I wonder where the train could be’.

  11. for the love of Christ, or anybody you hold dear, i implore you Charlie to get an interview technique. this is the third time ive seen you cut off an esteemed guest or guests in mid-flow. its unprofessional, rude, embarrasssing for the guest and the audience and it puts me the hell off ever watching an interview on this show. i want to turn off for fear of a cringe attack. you dont deserve to interview the likes of Hale and Pace, or Clive James. you really are a shocking interviewer and as far as worst ever co-hosts go, you blaze a flaming trail. get with the strength.

  12. dear 7pm pepole. I love you guys put some of the most famous celebrity’s for example pink!!! wow and Charlie oh my god you are the best if you were in a contest i would put you in 3rd place dave i’d put you 2nd and of course the lovely carrie 1st because you do the news your show is awsome keep up the good work.

  13. Today I celebrate my sisters 25 th birthday (Wednesday 28th October) only now I am living in Perth, so when your show attempts to berate those who seek to acknowledge malignant tumours due high voltage powerlines – in a discriminative fashion – I find it repulsive.
    I left my thirty years of residing in Melbourne because such a cause is well beyond the comprehension of many of you.
    Seek Georgis Kate Gartner and more than enough info is provided to disband your criminal arguements. Atleast 450 people acknowledged her funeral.

    Nothing else would kill a six foot one inch twenty year old.

    Goodluck with your show. Tis becoming a touch unsanitory.

  14. It’s about the ban in hugging at school. I guess it is sort of inappropriate to hug or kiss or what ever with your boyfirend or girlfriend but i really don’t think it’s so serious that you have to give a detention or suspend students. At our school, just recently two people were caught kissing and they got suspended for two weeks. That is way over the top in my opinion!

  15. hi my name is tayah reed i am ten yrs of age i would just like to say i Hate the new name i think it should be named
    (123 yum yum ) it seems bad and i would also like to say you should put heros and normall people instead of celebs all the time thanks bye ps plz read this on ur show.

  16. Kyle Sandilands reads:
    I’m havin a piece of cheese on toast
    I’m shovin it in me go
    All I do is eat all day
    Cause I haven’t got a job
    I into the cakes and pastries
    Knowing I’m fattening into a slob
    Aha…that’s one more reason
    I can’t apply for any job
    I fix me face with chocolates
    For the ones with nuts I’d rob
    And then I’m Kyle hyperactive
    ‘n could chop wood for a job With butter’ n salt ‘n pepper
    I smear sweet corn o’ the cob
    So I can’t smile to goes for a job
    I rip into a bottle of wine
    ‘n afore the days end I sob
    Of man’s inhumanities to man
    And how I’ve got no job
    And if you think I’m hedgin’
    Cause the thought of work is dear
    P’raps your right, I’ll diet & diet
    ‘n get a job New Year!!

  17. Carrie Bickmore made some shocking comments regarding battery farm hens, now every time I see her I want to change stations. Carrie aside – the show is entertaining, and will be even better once the hosts loosen up a bit.

  18. about the dolphins being killed and eaten in japan.I couldn’t access the broome shire council to show my disgust. do you have the site address
    on the topic of equal pay,the question should be. men and woman who have the same job do they receive the same wage? the answer would be Yes

  19. Charlie! you really need better skills in interviewing, what was that when you cut off your guest speaker on equal womens pay! you just and cut her off mid sentence! not that that was bad enough but you cut her off to cross to the dolphin loving freek!

    Show some respect!!!! Please!! This is a serious issue!

    Other wise love your work!

  20. Carry,
    I am astounded at your ignorance of how caged chickens are treated in order to give you “cheap” eggs given the salary you must be on. Educate your self pleaseand show some respect of animals that provide you with sustinance.
    Helen

  21. that blond lady, really p…me off, she obviously doesn’t know how much hens suffer in tiny crowded cages so people like her can have her cage eggs…
    shame on her, wish she has to sit her whole life in a little cage where she can’t move…
