Presenters
Seven News is presented by Jane Doyle and John Riddell, with Bruce Abernethy (Monday, Thursday, Friday, Weekends) and Chris Dittmar (Tuesday, Wednesday) presenting sport and Melody Horrill as weather presenter. On weekends Graeme Goodings is the main news presenter.
Previously, Graeme Goodings had been weeknight presenter and John Riddell the weekend reader, until it was found that Goodings had bowel cancer. Goodings and Riddell agreed to swap roles in 2004; both Goodings and Doyle had been presenting Seven News together since 1989, which had proven a success.
Prior to 27 December 1987, the presenters and crew behind Seven News broadcast as Ten News Adelaide. However, as the television industry was consolidating in Australia, these news services had each become associated by ownership with interstate news services being broadcast on opposite frequencies; therefore, to simplify network interaction, their respective networks agreed to swap channel assignments and network affiliations in Adelaide.
