Information About

Seven News




''Seven News'' (promoted on-air as '''''7NEWS''''') is the name of the television news service of 's '' National Nine News '' to which it traditionally rated second.

However recent years have signalled a change in audience patterns and Seven News is now the top rating news service nationally. Sunrise, Seven Morning News, Seven's 4:30 News and 6:00pm bulletins in Sydney, Adelaide, Perth and now Melbourne regularly win their timeslots. The Brisbane bulletin has also made significant ground against Nine.
This change can largely be credited to News Director Peter Meakin, who arrived in 2003 to help boost the service.

The ''Seven News'' theme music is derived from John Williams ' composition ''The Mission'', which is used as the theme music for '' NBC Nightly News '' in the United States .
