Seven News Sydney will vacate its Martin Place home temporarily to broadcast live from a specially built studio at the Sydney Royal Easter Show.
The national 11.30am and 4.30pm bulletins and updates will also be broadcast from the glass-walled facility which includes a fully equipped production office for technical, editorial and reporting staff.
“The Royal Easter Show is one of the biggest events in Sydney and is a real tradition with Sydneysiders and their families,” said Chris Willis, Director of News, Seven Sydney.
“We are looking forward to taking our entire news operation on the road to show people how the News is brought to air. We will also have the opportunity to get their feedback on what we’re doing.”
Royal Show patrons will have the chance to go behind the scenes and meet presenters and reporters.
Seven will be at the Show from from Thursday, April 1 to Friday, April 9.

@s get back to woolies? What’s that supposed to mean? lol
@JM – yeah exactly! Plus Seven had a FPC ad in the Official Easter Show guide published in the Sunday Telegraph (Nine had nothing). Nine needs to get their act together!
JM: Quite crazy choice… Why do the news at a event when the competition sponsors the event…
yet another reason to look forward to ABC’s news channel.
@ Ben I agree with what your saying.
@ s leave your derogatory remarks at the door am surprised David let that through.
Ten were the first to take the News live to an outdoor event when they did Expo 88.
Its a good but very expensive move by Seven but with Nine News closing the gap it may just pay off.
@Ben.
You will not even know where the first editions are coming from.. Same as always.. It’s for the people at the show.. So get back to Woolies, and stop commenting about what you don’t understand…
Isnt Nine one of the sponsors of the Show?
@everyone. I’m sorry you seem to be missing the point. The Australian Open has a national interest value but isn’t broadcast nationally with morning and 4:30news services is it??? The Sydney Easter show is not of interest to anybody but people in Sydney but is being broadcast to a national audience through morning and 4:30news. It does not add up. Everybody get the point now? What’s to grow up about, I think it’s an outrage. The only good thing to come out of it would be a new set, but being so the national bulletins should then come from somewhere a little less obvious as Sydney. It’s great the 6pm Sydney bulletin is coming from there don’t get me wrong, but not the other bulletins.
Ten used to do this at the show for a number of years.
maybe a new set is being built in sydney over those 9 days…. doubt it just felt like starting up the rumors again lol.
@ Ben, Grow up or get over it. The news & TT are often broadcast from Melbourne when the tennis & Melbourne Cup are staged.
Didn’t Channel Nine do the exact same thing at the Brisbane Ekka last year? Good to see Sydney taking a lead from Brisbane!!
@ben – how does the perth news relate to the sydney royal easter show?
This appears to be basically the same arrangement that Seven have during the Australian Open where all Melbourne news (as well as TT) is broadcast from an outdoor studio at Melbourne Park.
This is great for Sydney people but seriously do they have no shame… What about the poor perth people who never get any national exposure. I’m from victoria by the way so I’m taking into consideration other states. It will be good for a day to see the specially built studio and what not, but after that I’ll be turning away.
Look forward to the news on the road from Brisbane, Adelaide, Melbourne & Perth for big events then.
Oh look… a pig flew by my window!
