ANN7 covered the State of the Nation Addres with three reporters in Cape Town and everyone else in the comfort of the studio in Midrand.
The reporters in Cape Town were Cape Town-based Kevin Brandt, along with Avumile Qunu and Clement Manyathela.
Though they had fewer reporters than the other channels on the ground, viewers would not have noticed.
Their coverage was anchored by Nzinga Qunta, who took over at 6pm. She was joined by analysts Themba Dlamini, Dr Wally Serote and also economist Francois Stoffberg.
They had more live visuals than any other channel, actually showing the anchor and studio guests very rarely, with them.playing a mainly commentary role.
They also covered the arrival of the EFF and all controversies in the parliament, something only they and eNCA aired.
Their constant use of on screen graphics and split screens finally had value as they showed what was happening in twobplaces at the same time, like the chaos in parliament and the president arriving concurrently.
ANN7 was the last channel to stop rolling coverage of the event at 10pm, with a special Night Cap hosted by Gladys Sithole following immediately after.
