When he returns on at 6pm on Monday, he’ll broadcast from the new state-of-the-art studio in South Eveleigh – followed by The Latest at 11pm.
The 7NEWS team’s transition to the new studios is the first stage of the milestone relocation of Seven’s on-air operations, with Sunrise, Weekend Sunrise and The Morning Show to follow over the next month.
7NEWS.com.au and 7NEWS Spotlight moved across last month.
Seven West Media Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, James Warburton, said: “Today marks the beginning of a landmark chapter in Seven’s history. For the first time in over 40 years, we’re uniting our entire Sydney operation under one roof.
”Martin Place has served as an exceptional home for us but as we aim to unite even more Australians across our much-loved news and public affairs content, our transition to the purpose-built, state-of-the-art studio space in South Eveleigh is a pivotal move.
”7NEWS’s relocation to South Eveleigh marks the start of this exciting phase and we look forward to Sunrise and The Morning Show joining our cutting-edge, new location soon.”

Network Director of News and Public Affairs, Craig McPherson, said: “Since first turning the lights on at Martin Place on August 30, 2004, Seven’s News and Public Affairs team has broadcast a mammoth 70,000 hours of television from the Martin Place studio.
“Hundreds of careers started there, as did programs. Not all lasted but the constant demand for the content never wavered. It was a wonderful workplace for all of us, but it had served its time.
“Today marks a new beginning for 7NEWS. “
