In television’s ever-growing quest for shock-driven ratings, Channel 7 has stooped to a new low with its ‘Seven Year Switch’ offering. Australian Christian Lobby managing director Lyle Shelton said a programme glamourising partner-swapping and disloyalty did not present a vision of flourishing human relationships conducive to building a civil society. ‘Channel 7 really should ask itself if this presents a vision of human dignity or is just crass voyeurism. Many marriages and relationships have produced children by seven years. Is glamourising partner-swapping really a good idea for the individuals and children who may be involved?’ Mr Shelton said that the programme plumbed a new low of so-called reality television. He urged shareholders to express concerns to management: complaints could be lodged online, on the Channel 7 Facebook page, or on twitter @Channel7.
