Seven News bulletins on home speakers

Daily audio bulletins from Seven News will be available on new home smart speaker products launching in Australia.

The twice-daily bulletins are now streaming to Amazon’s new Alexa devices and will be available on Apple HomePod at launch today. They will also stream to Google Home users in coming weeks, as well as phones, Android Auto, Bose headphone or Android watch via Google Assistant.

Seven Network Director of News and Public Affairs, Craig McPherson, said: “As Australia’s leading, most trusted and innovative news service, we are excited to be part of this emerging content channel. It forms part of our plan to continue to evolve our news offering and distribute content to audiences across all platforms.”

Seven West Media Chief Digital Officer, Clive Dickens, added: “We continue to work very closely with Google, Amazon and Apple as this voice search category grows. Audio On Demand is a rapidly growing space, especially in Home, and Seven West Media intend to take a leading role with audio content from Pacific and West Australian Newspapers to come.”

Users of all devices will be able to voice search Seven News as their daily audio news service.
