The Seven Guide features a twenty-four hour television guide for the programming of Channel Seven. The channel also provides realtime news twenty-four hours a day, which includes breaking news reports and local news reports from state-based news rooms. Also, realtime weather reports for Australia, occasionally localised for state-based markets including wild weather alerts and traffic reports.
A live video preview of Channel Seven is available on the Seven Guide. The live video preview is also accompanied by a Now On and Coming Up television guide.
The Seven Guide advertises new and high rating television programs from Channel Seven via a small billboard loop. The advertising contains program information and broadcast times, that are modified for different timezones and state-based programming.
The Seven Guides' onair look has been changed several times since September 2002 when the channel launched. The channel initially had a Red and White theme, with a modern design. The channel featured a smaller 4:3 ratio preview of Channel 7, and a Seven news ticker at the bottom.
In 2004, the Seven Guide had a revamp of it's onair presentation. The design became simpler, and allowed for a higher concentration of text. The channel featured a larger 4:3 ratio preview of Channel Seven, and a Seven news and weather ticker at the bottom.
The current onair identity of the Seven Guide launched on January 23, 2006. The guide features a 16:9 ratio preview of Channel Seven, with the tickers replaced in favour of a slide show loop.
