7mate is an Australian free-to-air digital television multichannel, which was launched by the Seven Network on 25 September 2010.[1][2] The channel contains sport and regular programs aimed primarily to a male audience,[3] with programming drawn from a combination of new shows, American network shows and other shows previously aired on its sister channels Seven, 7two and 7flix.[1]
Due to the rebroadcast of 7HD on 10 May 2016, 7mate was reduced to a standard definition broadcast in Melbourne and Adelaide. Sydney, Brisbane and Perth instead received a HD simulcast of 7mate until December 2016,[4][5][6] with breakaway programming used from that point to broadcast AFL matches in HD while keeping 7HD as the primary channel simulcast.[7]
