This TV news report from 1995 covers the launch of Channel 7 Adelaide’s Seven Nightly Net News, marking the station as the first in Australia and the third worldwide to provide a website-based news platform. Reporter Geoff Dunn explains that the service followed only the BBC and CNN in offering internet news bulletins. The clip from SAS 7 News shows the simple graphics and dated Netscape browser interface used at the time. The original website (www.sevensa.com.au) has not been archived, making this footage a rare record of one of the earliest examples of Australian television news moving online.
