Remember This? Seven News Sydney Promo (1986)

I came across a Seven News Sydney commercial from 1986 while viewing a video from the VHS Revue Channel on YouTube by  David M. Green.

According to David, the advertisement was screened during the miniseries Christopher Columbus on July 16, 1986, on Channel 7 (ATN-7).

The thirty-second commercial features the repeated jingle:

Sydney you deserve the best, Seven News

Towards the end, you hear Seven National News Presenter Ross Symonds say the following:

Sydney's a great city. It deserves the best news coverage

The final frame features the key presenters of its news programs (Clockwise from top):

• Scott Lambert - Sports Presenter, Seven National News (Weekends)
• Richard Zachariah - 11AM
• Greg Grainger - Anchor, Seven National News (Weekends)
• Terry Willesee - Terry Willesee Tonight
• Ross Symonds - Anchor, Seven National News (Weeknights)
• Rex Mossop - Sports Presenter 
• Clive Robertson - Newsworld

I remember a second version of the commercial on YouTube, which is no longer around, but focuses on some of the presenters and how they would spend their leisure time, such as Clive Robertson washing his car and Terry Willesee teaching his son to play tennis. 

Below are screenshots of selected Sydney scenes featured in the advertisement.

2003: Ex Colonial Bank Branch at ex State Bank Centre (52 Martin Place)

In 2000, the Colonial State Bank (State Bank of NSW) merged with the Commonwealth Bank. As part of the merger, branches were closed. As the Commonwealth Bank had a branch directly opposite at 48 Martin Place, it was decided that the branch at 52 Martin Place should close.

Within 12 months of this photo being taken, the former branch would be home to the news department of Channel Seven. Seven News, Sunrise and other Seven News programs would be produced from there.
