Managing Director Seven Melbourne Lewis Martin said: “The Good Friday Appeal is a truly special event on the Victorian calendar, and we are honoured to once again deliver this iconic day to Australians.

“There are so many reasons to watch the Appeal, most importantly, to support such an important cause so close to the heart of all Victorians. The Good Friday Appeal’s ongoing success is a brilliant reflection of the strong partnership between media partners the Seven Network and the Herald Sun.”

  2. It’s good that they’re on 7Plus. It could go to 7 Two for more linear exposure. The added exposure certainly showed in the Perth hospital telethon where they were getting donations from as far away as Yepoon. All because it was available on 7Plus.

    It’s only a good thing if you can get as many donations as possible for the hospitals. I hope they discuss admin costs and where the money is going to, and how it’s used to dispel charity sceptics.
