Descriptiontext

7plus is a free-to-air streaming platform operated by Seven Network, the broadcast division of Australian multimedia company Seven West Media (ASX: SWM). Headquartered in Sydney, Australia, the platform provides live streaming of Channel 7 broadcast content alongside on-demand catch-up television viewing, accessible via web browsers and mobile applications at no cost to end users. Its content catalog includes entertainment programming, news, and major Australian sporting events such as AFL matches and cricket, drawing on Seven Network's exclusive broadcast rights portfolio.

The platform's core technology is a streaming infrastructure that supports both linear live feeds and video-on-demand playback, serving as the digital extension of a traditional free-to-air broadcaster. 7plus does not operate as an independent entity with its own funding rounds; it is funded and strategically directed by Seven West Media as part of the parent company's digital expansion strategy. Its competitive positioning rests on content rights ownership and cross-promotion through Seven Network's linear broadcasts rather than on proprietary technology.

7plus serves Australian general consumers who seek free access to broadcast television content, including cord-cutters and viewers without traditional antenna access. It does not generate revenue through subscriptions; monetization occurs through advertising within Seven West Media's broader media operations. The platform is also accessed informally by international viewers via VPN and geo-bypass methods, though its official geographic scope is domestic Australia.
