Channel Seven will abandon its Martin Place studio and relocate to Eveleigh after 17 years

Channel Seven’s news studio will be relocating to Sydney’s Eveleigh after 17 years at Martin Place.

CEO of Seven West Media James Warburton announced Sunrise, The Morning Show and Seven News will be moving by the end of 2022.

Mr Warburton said in a statement, published by TV Tonight: ‘For the first time in 40 years, all divisions of Seven Sydney are being brought together in one place.’

‘From December 2022, all of Seven Sydney will be located in a refurbished version of the existing Eveleigh office, refitted and significantly expanded.’

‘Seven Eveleigh will span seven floors and include new, purpose-built, state-of-the-art studios and facilities for our news and public affairs shows and people.’

He added: ‘The expansion of Seven Eveleigh means we will be leaving Martin Place over the next 21 months.’

Seven News and Sunrise have been broadcast from Marin Place for the past 17 years but the network’s headquarters has been based in Eveleigh since 2018.

The Martin Place location has hosted some of the biggest international acts, such as Justin Bieber and One Direction.

The moves comes after rival network Channel Nine’s headquarters were relocated to North Sydney from Willoughby.

The television studios were among the first in Australia, and were established on the site more than 60 years ago. 

According to Domain, the Sydney TV site was sold in February for $249 million and it will be transformed into 460 new homes.

There will be nine apartment buildings set on the 6000 square metres of land as well as a park, playground and retail plaza.
