7 News: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 02:21, 22 January 2024

*Channel 7 News* broadcast moments before an explosion cuts the signal (TRS: "Miniseries, Night 1").

7 News is a Caprican news agency of Channel K and contemporary of Caprica 5.

This station's logo was a plain white number 7 located inside a circle of the same color. The word NEWS was printed under the icon. Unlike Caprica 5, 7 News' icon appeared in the top right-hand corner of viewing screens.

7 News had a field reporter, presumably located near the Riverwalk of Caprica City during the Cylon attack. Gaius Baltar watches this station and Caprica 5 simultaneously on a dual wall-mounted viewing screen. The field reporter reports to viewers that no further ships can leave the planet and warnings to evacuate from the population centers when a bomb explodes over Caprica City.

Baltar sees Caprica 5's signal immediately disappear. Moments later, the same shockwave literally blows the 7 News reporter and a background outdoor café out of the camera view, and his camera's signal ceases (TRS: "Miniseries, Night 1").

Notes

The logo of Channel 7 News bears a resemblance to the New York, New York ABC Channel 7 News Logo.

-Channel 7 News was seen only once during the [[Miniseries]] as it covered the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|Cylon attack]]. [[Gaius Baltar]] was watching this station and Caprica 5 simultaneously on a dual wall-mounted viewingscreen. The field reporter for Channel 7 News was in a city at the time reporting on the apocalyptic event when suddenly, a bomb exploded nearby. The shockwave knocked the reporter and a background outdoor café off the screen. The camera was destroyed soon after, evidenced by the screen reverting to static. After this broadcast signal was severed, Channel 7 News was never heard from or mentioned again in the series.
