I can't believe it channel 7 you continue to amaze me with your lack of coverage of the AFL season. Whether it be games not live or not shown until midnight or later, you continue to push the boundaries of a station who has no interest of competing in the Queensland market of broadcasting with the AFL season. It leaves me with a sour taste in my mouth, considering the amount of money you paid for the broadcasting rights, how many adds you had preseason and also having the extra HD channels at your whim. Which could easily have Australia's national game televised. I guess last year you did show some games from after half time, so what should I have expected. Channel 7 you continue to disappoint.

This is beyound belief. We have Footy Finals happening (AFL not VFL)...According to your programme @ 8:30pm a game worth watching then whammo...a stupid bloody movie we have all seen a thousand times. When will you ever get it though your sweet head that there are viewers out there who want to watch AFL free to air. It isn't a privelidge it's our right. I have stuck by your channel for many years - but you have angered me - again - tonight. Please get it right for the rest of the weekend...

My husband and i watch channel seven without hesitation and more than any other channel on free tv. But we have to ask, why have you committed to these "I'm a morman ads". We aren't, and we really don't care that they are. The ads are annoying and very one sided. We can't understand what purpose it survives. Is channel 7 trying to convert the population to mormanism? It's really not fair.

I agree with this comment!...and in addition...I am so sick of AFL being scheduled more and more during the week to the exclusion of other regular programming! First it was most of the weekend which it has always been so you learn to accept it and watch Foxtel instead...then they started scheduling on Friday nights, then Thursday nights and now Monday nights!...NOT EVERYONE WANTS TO WATCH AFL!...Does Channel 7 care at all about the rest of the viewing public that does not want to watch AFL during the week! I am so over it and I am now getting to the stage here it is better to just ignore Channel 7 and either watch Channels 9 or 10 or Foxtel. Saturday's and the weekend for AFL and leave the rest of the week for normal scheduling!

It is the men's tennis final and Channel 7 is not broadcasting. I cannot even watch it online due to right's restrictions. If Channel 7 are going to block all avenues for me to watch the tennis final - which I have taken time off work for - they should at least be reliable. I cannot find any information on their website about a fault - nor on their twitter page, even thought their last tweet was 2 minutes ago. I have tried to phone their office but the number is not working. FUMING RIGHT NOW! I had better not miss one ball of this game Channel 7. You dont deserve the rights to this sport if I do - and I will petition all year long to ensure that they are taken from you. Give me my tennis!

I think it is obvious that Peter Mitchel is trying to shape his political ideology into the news and this is damaging to Australia because what the Nation needs is a patraitic balanced news media that we can receive fair news so as best practice decisions can be made not Peter Mitchel"s sensationalism political bias.

Channel 7! Your Sunday night programs are great, however they are not on time! I love watching Bones and Castle and look forward to watching it on Sunday nights. I plan to be able to sit down and watch it at 8.30, no wait, 8.45, oh no wait, 8.50, 9.00, 9.15, 9.30, 9.45. Still waiting. I set the DVD recorder to tape Castle because it is on so late, and now I am going to have to do it for Bones too. Shame on you. Play it on seven two instead so we can watch it at a decent time.

I have never written a complaint before but channel 7 need to know that playing one advertisment for an upcoming show so many times has the complete opposite effect of what is intended. The one Resurection ad is played at least 20-30 times per day and is easily the most irritating add on tv. I will never watch the show because of the ad and I know many others who feel the same way. When it comes on, I now instantly change channels. Please channel, put us all out of our misery and be more creative...Maybe create 3-4 DIFFERENT adds for the one show and play half as often.

Sunday 6th April 2017 - Downton Abbey scheduled to be shown at 8.30 on Channel 7. But we it's not on - we are being shown the AFL. What is going on? Why can't you just show us what you program to show.

it is incredibly irritating and wish there was something I could do God help me.

Why do we need to sit through Tom Waterhouse betting ads during the tennis? This normalises gambling and surely gamblers can hop online to see the odds if they are so desperate to bet. The general public should not have to view this nonsense.

Channel 7, is it true that you ceased production of "a place to call home" - and ended it prematurely with an embarrassingly awful episode - because its audience was too old?! If so, one word - "discrimination"! Tsk tsk! Bears looking into, i'd say! Bring it back!

Hi there
Wonderful news that a place to call home is returning but, bad news as it's going on Foxtel not happy that the reality shows are overtaking the TV. Everyone cannot afford Foxtel what is wrong with showing on the gem or go channels.
Also stop running the blacklist and marvel agents of shield late because of reality shows such as X factor, the big adventure. Not fair I have to wait to watch my fav. Shows
Cheers

I have to agree with Tasteless TV on one point, the enjoyment of viewing a football match has been taken away from us viewers with the mindless bombardment of adds with pretty much every goal scored. Tonight I was watching Bombers V Nth Melb. While it is now muted and in the background I think we are up to 17 add breaks for the first half. Not the stuff a riveting game is meant to be made of. SHAME ON YOU Channel 7. Like a lot of other people we are turning off, tell your advertisers why no one is buying their product when you have no viewers left! I am disgusted with your attitude towards us, your customers!

Am watching X-factor 27 Sept 2017 and am disappointed that the word "###" was used quite blatantly and numerous times. Surely for a prime time TV show watched by many impressionable teenagers the word "###" is a bad example. Sorry, I may be old fashioned but as a teacher I am concerned that public standards are dropping. This is just another example.

I really think Andrew thinks the whole program is all about himself. He makes more noise and actually says nothing intelligent unless he's reading it. He draws out all his words and speaks to everyone else as if they're ten year olds. Already I'm sick of it. If you can't make him behave turn his mike down.
