'''Seven West Media Limited''' was an Australian diversified media business, with an extensive presence in broadcast television, radio, print and online publishing.
Seven West Media owned the [[Seven Network]], Australia's second-largest commercial television network (by audience and advertising market share). It also owned ''[[The West Australian]]'', ''[[The Sunday Times (Western Australia)|The Sunday Times]]'' and the [[Community Newspaper Group]].
Seven Group Holdings Ltd (SGH), a company controlled by [[Australian Capital Equity]], was Seven West Media's largest shareholder, with over $1 billion in Seven West Media shares and $250 million of Seven West Media convertible preference shares (CPS).<ref name="notice">[https://www.aspecthuntley.com.au/asxdata/20110308/pdf/01159724.pdf WAN Proposal to Acquire Seven Media Group], 8 March 2011, p.4</ref>
In September 2025, Seven West Media and [[Southern Cross Media Group]] announced their intention to merge. The merger was completed on 7 January 2026, and the company therefore ceased operations.

===Seven Media Group=== The [[Seven Network]] (commonly known as Channel 7 or simply Seven) dates back to 4 November 1956, when the first stations on the [[Very high frequency|VHF7]] frequency were established in [[HSV (TV station)|Melbourne]] and [[ATN|Sydney]]. The Seven Network is one of five main free-to-air networks in Australia.
====Origin==== The Seven Network began as a group of independent stations in [[Sydney]], [[Melbourne]], [[Brisbane]], [[Adelaide]] and [[Perth]].<ref name="Televisionau50s">[http://televisionau.com/timeline/1950-1959 Timeline 1950-1959] at television.au.com</ref> [[HSV (TV station)|HSV-7]] [[Melbourne]], licensed to the [[Herald & Weekly Times]] (owners of two local papers at the time, ''[[The Herald (Melbourne)|The Herald]]'' and ''[[The Sun News-Pictorial|The Sun]]''), was the first station in the country to use the [[VHF]]7 frequency.<ref name="Televisionau50s" />{{Failed verification|date=February 2017}} It launched on 4 November 1956, soon joined on 2 December by ''Amalgamated Television Services'' [[ATN]]-7 in Sydney.<ref name="caslon">{{cite web|url=http://www.ketupa.net/seven2.htm|title=Seven: landmarks|last=Arnold|first=Bruce|website=Ketupa.net|publisher=Caslon Analytics|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070806210559/http://www.ketupa.net/seven2.htm|archive-date=6 August 2007|access-date=7 August 2007}}</ref>
[[TVW]]-7 Perth began broadcasting almost two years later, on 16 October 1959, as the city's first commercial station. It was licensed to TVW7, a subsidiary of [[The West Australian|West Australian Newspapers]], publisher of [[The West Australian]].<ref name="Televisionau50s" /> [[BTQ]]-7 followed on 1 November, signing on as Brisbane's second commercial television station.<ref name="Televisionau50s" /><ref name="caslon" /> In 1969 the Melbourne based Herald and Weekly times group purchased WA Newspapers . The HWT group already owned HSV 7 and ADS 7 and under the media laws of the time was required to sell TVW 7. A new company was formed and floated on the [[Perth Stock Exchange]], TVW Enterprises Pty Ltd.
[[ADS (TV station)|ADS]]-7 in Adelaide launched on 24 October 1959 as the final capital city VHF7 station. TVW Enterprises purchased Adelaide's SAS 10 in 1971. In 1987 ADS 7 station swapped frequencies with [[SAS (TV station)|SAS-10]], with the latter becoming [[SAS (TV station)|SAS-7]].<ref name="Televisionau50s"/>
====1980s ownership changes==== The [[Bell Group]], completed a takeover on TVW Enterprises in 1982.<ref name="caslon" /> The [[Herald & Weekly Times]], owner of [[HSV (TV station)|HSV-7]] and [[ADS (TV station)|ADS-7]], was sold to [[News Corp Australia|News Limited]] in December 1986 who sold off HSV to [[Fairfax Media|John Fairfax & Sons]] soon afterwards, for $320 million, while ADS 7 was sold to [[Frank Lowy]]'s Northern Star (owners of the [[Network 10|10 Networ]]k stations in Sydney and Melbourne).<ref name="caslon" /> Fairfax went on to axe a number of locally produced shows in favour of networked content from its Sydney counterpart, [[ATN]]-7 (also owned by Fairfax at the time).<ref name="atvh-80s" />
In 1987, Fairfax sold its stations to [[Qintex]].<ref name="atvh-80s" /> Qintex had previously bought, and subsequently sold off, stations in Brisbane and regional [[Queensland]] before taking control of the network.<ref name="caslon" /> The next year, another new logo was introduced along with evening [[soap opera]] ''[[Home & Away]]'' and a relaunched ''Seven National News'', now known as ''Seven News''. The network expanded in 1988 when Skase bought out Bell Group's two stations for $130 million creating the first owned and operated national network of the five mainland city Channel 7 stations.<ref name="atvh-80s">{{cite web|url=http://www.austvhistory.com/seven/80s.htm |title=Seven Network 1980s |access-date=27 June 2007 |author=Brooklyn Ross-Hulands |publisher=AusTVHistory |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070626184424/http://www.austvhistory.com/seven/80s.htm |archive-date=26 June 2007 }}</ref>
A failed $1.5 billion bid for [[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer|MGM Studios]] in the same year sent Qintex into receivership.<ref name="caslon" /> Christopher Skase fled Australia in 1990 in order to escape extradition.<ref name="atvh-80s" /> The business' assets were bundled together by receivers and made into a new company, [[Seven Group Holdings|Seven Network Limited]], in 1991.<ref name="caslon" />
====Advent of Kerry Stokes==== The network was re-listed as a public company on the [[Australian Securities Exchange]] in 1993.<ref>[https://www.afr.com/companies/strong-demand-in-seven-float-19930630-k5g38 Strong demand in Seven float] ''Australian Financial Review'' 30 June 1993</ref> In 1995, Stokes acquired 19.9% of the public company and was elected chairman.

Seven Queensland won the annual audience ratings for the first time in 1998.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.austvhistory.com/7qld/index.htm |title=Sunshine Television History |access-date=27 June 2007 |author=Brooklyn Ross-Hulands |publisher=AusTVHistory |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060815101313/http://www.austvhistory.com/7qld/index.htm |archive-date=15 August 2006 }}</ref>
The year 2000 saw Seven as the host broadcaster for the [[2000 Summer Olympics|Sydney Olympics]]. The network adopted a new logo. In 2003, Stokes appointed [[David Leckie]] as CEO of Seven and [[Peter Meakin]] as Head of News and Current Affairs. In January 2006, the Seven Network, [[Pacific Magazine]] and online portal [[Yahoo Australia]] and New Zealand combined in a joint venture to form Yahoo!7, representing all three companies' online assets.<ref>{{cite news| title = Yahoo!7 Redefines Australian Media Landscape| publisher = Seven Media Group| date = 30 January 2006| url = http://sevencorporate.com.au/_uploads/Files/1138585381359_0.6128006964381489.pdf| access-date = 21 February 2008| url-status = dead| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080228014539/http://sevencorporate.com.au/_uploads/Files/1138585381359_0.6128006964381489.pdf| archive-date = 28 February 2008}}</ref> This venture is now Australia's most popular internet portal {{citation needed|date=November 2018}} and the joint venture is driving a range of online and IPTV businesses.
