HSV (TV Station) - Seven News Melbourne

Seven News Melbourne is directed by Simon Pristel and presented by Peter Mitchell from Sunday to Thursday and Jennifer Keyte on Friday & Saturday from Broadcast Centre Melbourne. Sandy Roberts presents sport from Sunday to Thursday and Tim Watson on Friday & Saturday, weather is presented by David Brown.

Current weeknight presenter Peter Mitchell held the role of weekend presenter for Seven Nightly News between 1987 and 2000 when he replaced the short-lived presenting duo of David Johnston and Anne Fulwood. Jennifer Keyte was appointed as main weeknight presenter in 1990, becoming Australia's first solo female primetime commercial news presenter. In a network reshuffle in 1996, Keyte terminated her employment after the Seven Network attempted to pair her with David Johnston, who went to present solo for three years. She returned in 2003, assuming the role as weekend presenter, succeeding Jennifer Adams.

Following decades of coming second in television ratings to Nine News Melbourne and Ten News Melbourne, Seven News Melbourne went into a tight contest to win the ratings battle in 2005. In recent ratings reports, Seven News has gained the number one position. This was subsequently followed by a series of advertisements and promos which have touted Seven News Melbourne as Melbourne's New #1 and Nine altering their promotions to simply say Melbourne's Best News - a throwback to the 1980s when National Nine News Melbourne was being beaten in the ratings by ATV-10's Ten Eyewitness News.

Afternoon news updates for Melbourne are presented by Rebecca Maddern or another reporter, while Peter Mitchell presents weeknight updates. Jennifer Keyte presents all weekend news updates. Rebecca Maddern and Dean Felton are the fill-in news presenters, with Nick Etchells, as the fill-in sport presenter.
